Here's a crazy idea - have it shipped to the house owners name, not yours.
That's what I suggested before.
How does the shipping company even know who the home owner is? I don't really understand why proving home ownership is a requirement to get a package delivered.
In the US, you have to list the homeowner, their phone number and all kinds of things to even be allowed to ship.
You do? who are you shipping through? I never registered with the Post Office.
How do people who live in rental houses get mail without issue, or people who live in apt buildings?
My mom lived in a rental for 7 years with no postal issues.
The SHIPPERS, USPS can't be used for anything important, obviously. Talking about things that I actually want to receive. UPS, FedEx, DHL.
Sure, They all ask for a recipient and phone number, not definitely don't ask for a home owner name.
That field is the homeowner once it gets to Europe. If it doesn't match, they hold it until someone can prove they are the owner of the address.
Interesting - I guess I've been lucky and never shipped something to Europe where the home owner wasn't that name on the package.
How does that work for children of the home owner? Does family name only matter?
Probably. I know it was a huge deal when we were in Spain. They wouldn't even come to the house. We had to get a ride to a nearby city with locals with power of attorney for the Brits that owned the house to pick up the packages. It was insane. Took weeks.

My head is boggling, so no paying inordinate amounts to get an overnight package from FedEx/UPS to a hotel in Europe for something I forgot in the states?
Of course, because you deliver to the HOTEL and the HOTEL signs for it. Not going to pay $500 for a $50 router, though.
-
What could you possibly forget in the States that you couldn't replace more cheaply, though? We know that anything we forget we are replacing with something purchased in Europe. I can't think of any reasonable case where overnighting anything would be rational.

Just the first thought that popped into my head, didn't have to be rational
-
And if anything gets stopped in customers, that overnight might take weeks. So not much point. Who can afford to live in a hotel for weeks or months waiting on a package?
-
UPS doesn't even offer next day to Europe. Two day minimum.

@scottalanmiller you are assuming that a single experience you had in one country is going to apply to another country. It is not normal. you are trying to claim something as normal when no one else has had to deal with it. Including others in Europe.
Additionally, you were dealing with international shipping last time when you have already shown native purchasing options that would not have that problem.

Assuming that either of those two places in Italy are willing to ship.

Has anyone tried this in Europe where it worked? We know why it failed last time. If you have examples of it working to prove your normal, what are they? How recent?

Which is all this thread was asking for. I'm not the one that brought up shipping from the US. I was looking for a store in Italy.

I'll be happy to ship you some stuff if needed.
I guess I derailed the whole thing by offering to ship you something from the US - my bad.

Pretty simple, need some minor UBNT gear in Italy. ER-X would do, USG might be better. And an entry level AP. No idea where to find them or if you can.
Tagging @Dominica @Francesco-Provino
I took ER and unifi on Amazon, the price was good. There are also resellers on ebay.it, of course, sometimes even cheaper.

Would Amazon ship to me here? Even Google Maps doesn't know where this street is.

No clue.
I did order something to my friends place in the UK (to my own name) while I was visiting him. There were no issues there. -
Amazon is quite a lot higher in price here

lack of competition?

I'm sure any old trattoria will have some, especially in Italy. Ubiquiti and clam sauce is one of my favorite dishes.
I'll see myself out.
