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.

As long as you are in a member country of the European Union, it's pretty simple to buy stuff from a vendor in another EU country, even tax-wise. So you are not limited to Italy, IMHO.
But it looks like your options are limited when you want to get one at a local store
It's shipping that we can't do. There are no stores locally and we've had things shipped to us in Spain before and it took months because we don't own the place where we live.
Spain is an exception
Took a Spanish vendor 6 weeks to send us an Android based ebook reader.
Is it? It's the receipt that is the problem. No one will deliver to a house you don't own. My name isn't on the property, so they won't deliver is what I found.
Never heard that. What's written on the sign, the owner's name? Just order to SAM, C/O owner, street, zip, city etc.
Or maybe ask a neighbor if he would be so kind to play recipient
I could ask the church

Why would the owner of the ship to location matter? What? does the post office really just decide to not deliver because the owner's name isn't what the delivery person is used to?

For example. Just tell the guys you are in desperate need of a connection to the heavens

Perhaps this is an issue for international shipping becuase of customs.. I could understand that - but you found two retailers in the north.. if either offers shipping, that should solve the problem.

Correct. USPS often won't either. But is very lazy about it.

That really just seems absurd that they would care.

oh you mean that fake security that we talked about the other day?
Here's a crazy idea - have it shipped to the house owners name, not yours.

@scottalanmiller I get international shipments all the time sent to other peoples house and my office and they have delivered them without a problem. Why would they even need to know who owns the house to deliver something?

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.

This is for international shipping? Becuase I have set family members addresses in the US for things that don't ship to Mexico and have never been asked to list the homeowner.

It's the recipient you have to list. Otherwise you'd never be able to ship to a hotel, yet that's done quite often.

What shipper? No shipper in the US that I know of allows that.

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, UPSP can't be used for anything important, obviously. Talking about things that I actually want to receive. UPS, FedEx, DHL.

When shipping through UPS, they don't ask for the home owner, they ask for the recipient name. They often ask for a phone number, but I rarely provide it, yet my packages arrive just fine.
