La online shopping on site Esselunga (aka Esselungacasa) and on that of Carrefour it is becoming impossible. Delivery times have become extremely long, and the result is that many of us are forced to leave the house to go directly to the mini market of trust, thus abandoning the safety of their homes. But are there services that, despite everything, still work? Put aside Esselunga and Carrefour, is there any chain that can guarantee the delivery of shopping at home? We assess the situation.
Shopping online is impossible
Currently, all the services that usually carry out home deliveries have found themselves overwhelmed by requests. Initially, struggling, they still managed to ship with serious delays, until their systems became saturated. Some of them have even become unseaworthy, with very long loading times. When, on the other hand, you manage to fill your virtual cart and reach the much-desired payment phase, the bitter surprise appears: no day available for delivery.
Esselunga the house
We talked about Esselunga in a special article, also because their home shopping service is one of the most used in Northern Italy. Once on the page of choosing the day for delivery, we find an entire window of two weeks completely saturated, with no possibility of choice.
Esselunga skip-the-line with the Ufirst application. Milan among the first cities
Carrefour
As soon as you try to shop online, you are placed in a "virtual queue", lasting over i, before being able to enter the service and be able to navigate within it. Unfortunately after the long wait, our dreams of being able to return to feed and cook are bitterly shattered: a message informs us that home deliveries are currently impossible.

Amazon Prime Now
Another of the most common attempts is to take advantage of Amazon's Prime Now, one of the various home shopping delivery services that should guarantee the latter within the day, or at most the next day. However the situation is the same, no delivery options, and it turns out once you reach the payment page in the shopping cart. Furthermore, the amount of selectable products has drastically decreased compared to usual.
Cortilia
Even Cortilia, which resisted for the first few days (perhaps due to the low influx of initial requests), is now unable to make deliveries. To be honest, the site is almost unseachable, it does not allow you to enter the various sections and upon entering the postal code or city of delivery, it does not find it in its database (even by entering Milan, usually present).
A few days ago they sent this email:
philanderer
Here, too, do not expect anything new compared to the other cases seen before, the situation is the same. Smaller municipalities where the system is active and there is the possibility of some slots still available are perhaps exceptions. You just have to enter your address and try your luck!
Supermarket24
It is an aggregator of supermarkets (we find Conad, Carrefour, Esselunga etc. within it). By selecting one of the supermarkets first, you can then individually check the presence of time slots available for delivery (which the external staff of Supermercato24 takes care of, not that of the selected supermarket). However, surprise, there is no chance here either. Customer service asked me to check for new availability on a daily basis, but after a week of daily checks, the situation has never changed.

A light at the end of the tunnel: Glovo
Glovo it seems to be the only functioning home delivery service at the moment. Sure, there are severe limitations compared to the past, but at least we will be able to obtain (even in a fairly short time) what little is enough for us to live a few more days without self-digesting. Among the markets available to place our order we find Picard Frozen, some city Minimarket and the Carrefour Market (a smaller version than the one described above). The delivery will be handled by Glovo drivers, with timing even within the hour.
However, there is one factor to take into account: apart from the very limited availability of products, you should know that from the time of the order to the time of delivery you may not receive some products ordered and paid for, and that others may be replaced with equivalent products. There is no problem for the excess amount paid: Glovo will re-credit you the excess money the day after delivery.

Not just online shopping
For those not accustomed to technology, or simply for the desperate who have tried them all, there is another solution: arm yourself with a telephone and call the mini supermarkets and mini markets around the house, even your trusted greengrocer. In this period they have all equipped themselves to make home deliveries, you might be surprised!
