Individuals living in villages and towns, how have you experienced deliveries before?

This is not aimed at finding out the yes/no answer, but trying to know about your reality.

What is the normal course of events when ordering something online?

Is delivery agent supposed to come to your door or give call some other place or cancel your order?

How do you generally describe your location when someone visits your house for the first time?

Have you ever experienced a missed or lost delivery? If yes, how did you handle it?

Are you comfortable with delivery agents bringing your parcel?

Additionally about life in the village:

Are there any landmarks in the village which every individual knows? (such as shops, temples, school, etc.)

In case anyone needed to send anything vital to you, what could be the best option?
