getting stuff from the mainland

I would like to order a plasma tv from el corte ingles on the mainland and have them deliver it to my house in the campo outside Santa Eulalia. Anyone got any ides how this works, I don't have an address and when having stuff delivered before, I have drawn a map at the shop but don't see that working in this case.
All help desperately needed, the tv's are on sale at 359euro at the moment and my missus has threatened to buy the most expensive one she can find on the Island if I don't get it sorted!
 
Thanks, I have done it that way before when dealing with shops on the Island, but I am not sure a major supermarket would be so easy in respect of meeting me at a bar. Plus my Spanish is rubbish so getting it through to them on their website when I made the order would be tricky at best. Any other ideas?
 
My suggestion above has worked with Spanish and UK parcels.
The supermarket will use a courier here. You can ask for the parcel to be held at the courier depot on the island (we have done this). They will call you when it arrives. Make sure to find out the name of the courier service beforehand. When they call you they will probably start jabbering on in Spanish but if you figure out it is the courier then all you have to do is get yourself down to the courier depot and pick up the parcel. Make sure to take some id.
 
Thanks Warren, I will give it a go when I get to the Island in a weeks time. Maybe I will talk to my local Bar, any excuse to go in there anyway!
