Default Shopping by Internet

Hi,

I am waiting for my residency.

I am told I have to stay put for 21 days.... or until the Police comes to see that I live where I am ... This is Italy !

Has anyone used a supermarket for internet shopping.... and delivery charges etc...

I know I need to lose some Christmas weight still but I need a backup plan !

"Residency" means short term house arrest?

Don't worry if your not there. What happens is, they ask neighbours and put a note in the box to say they've been. We made an appointment with them and when my son moved, he phoned them directly and asked them to come at 7.30 a.m.

As to internet shopping: Esselunga have it, but the products are dearer than instore. Several frozen food companies deliver as does Naturasi.

As 37100 says - you don't have to stay at home to wait for them people. I never saw them at all and presume that was because or apartment block has a porter and they probably asked him to confirm I lived there.

I try essunlunga. It is crazy that the prices are more expensive online than instore.

With Regards to the Residency side. What happens if they do not attend in 21 days? I am a EU national, and they have given me attestato di ricevuta della richiesta di iscrizione anagrafica but say I have to wait for the police. I assume this is normal.?

all normal - notihng for you to worry about. It is just "La burocrazia" in action.

Also known as ''fascismo'' in the past. How can other countries in the world can do without all that, as say... the UK ?
