About a third of our orders are placed by somebody who is not in the country, usually for a parent, a sibling or a partner.
It works well and needs two things. A Maldivian phone number for the person receiving it, because we ring before we come, and a real address rather than an area. Malé does not run on street numbers, so tell us the building name and the floor.
Payment is by transfer, which almost everybody manages from abroad without difficulty. If your bank makes it awkward, message us and we will work something out before the date rather than on it.
