Even today I came across a seller on Ebay PowerSeller, who wrote in plain sight, in bold, NOT SHIP to ITALY! It is certainly not the only seller that ebay avoid sending here in our country, especially those from Asia warning are increasing, probably because of our Customs and freight forwarders.
Even some European seller occasionally add some notes to Italy, maybe send the same but specify that it is risky ... So do not look good even with shipping!

Fortunately, Italy has opened to the public for a few days SpedireWeb.it, providing convenient service to domestic shipments at low prices. I think using a variety of carriers to optimize their running costs and offer cheap shipping.
Or something like that, because in fact with all the home collection of elements (including large parcels, envelopes or packages not only light) has a lower cost than the Post Office. :-O
In practice, if vai mail (will also do the usual fine line, thank goodness that at least a few years is more civilized, thanks to "numeretti"!), Spend 9 euros, more or less, for a parcel, but with Ship Web less than 7 €!
The convenience and to remain at home (or office, is the same) for me is MINIMUM 2-3 euros, could also raise the cost of shipping packages to 10 €, remain valid and cost the same.
Except for the clear lightweight packages, envelopes, more or less anti-shock, which in some cases if not in a hurry you can send with 4 or 5 euros.

PS: I was looking for aquarium accessories for the next exhibition of ' marine aquarium tropical ... where really for the technical part you can go crazy for the richness!
