What is the difference between hand delivery, door-bell and door-step delivery?

Hand Delivery:

The Sarda Farms delivery person will ring your doorbell and hand over the milk in person. This helps preserve the quality since the milk can be put in the refrigerator immediately.

Door-step Delivery:

The Sarda Farms delivery person will keep the milk outside your door/gate. This puts the quality at risk since the milk may lie un-refrigerated for a while. You should opt for this only if the door-bell delivery is inconvenient.

Door-bell Delivery:

The Sarda Farms delivery person will ring the doorbell once and will keep the milk at your doorstep. This puts the quality at risk since the milk may lie un-refrigerated for a while. You should opt for this only if the hand delivery is inconvenient.
