Shopping online during holiday for delivery to villa?

[rsbrowndog]

We're off on our holiday at the end of July. I've been wondering, if we wanted to purchase something online, e.g. at amazon.com could we have it delivered to our villa we are staying at?

This is the fifth time we've stayed in a villa and have never once had any post arrive, so I can't help but wonder if the villa owners have their post redirected somewhere? Would that affect an Amazon delivery?

And what is the delivery person likely to do with a package if we're not home when they try and deliver?

I appreciate a lot of this is a bit like asking people to use their psychic powers to predict the future! But does anyone have personal experience to speak from?
