i dont really understand what you mean.

if you mean you need a new key and are companies legit, i would try timsons the shoe repair people. they have various keys and can order others in. if you go there in your car they can programme your key and you can check it in the car park immediately. But it’s dear. i think ours was £145.

if it’s a company online i’d be inclined to give them my parents address or a friend’s or whatever to send it to, rather than the address the car stays at. that way they can’t somehow steal it with the key!
