A good number of our orders are placed by somebody who is not in the country, for a parent or a child who is. It works well, with two conditions.
The first is a Maldivian phone number for the person receiving it, because a delivery with nobody to ring is a delivery that stands in a stairwell. The second is that the transfer still has to reach us before the order leaves, so ordering at two in the morning your time and expecting the four o'clock window is optimistic.
Put a note on the order and we will read it out. People do this more than you would think.
