Google Home delivery.

As Google has a good deal on the Google Home till the 29th for Black Friday I was going to order 5.

Thing is I'm currently not in the country so was wondering who Google are likely to be using for delivery. Royal Mail is fine as they keep items for 3 weeks but other delivery companies IMHO vary and are likely to send the items back as undeliverable.

I would send to a friend but what with CC security I doubt it'll go through..... it didn't last time.
Thanks

    A quick chat with Auntie Google found DHL or GLS if you are talking about the Google store.

    When Google say DHL they appear to mean UK Mail who are owned by DHL (I just bought a Pixel C since the price has dropped and it's been shipped with them).

    My order is going to a different address so that doesn't appear to be an issue.

    John Lewis has them for a pound cheaper than going to Google direct, and you choose click and collect to have them waiting for you at your local branch when you get back
