I'm planning to order a PinePhone soon. One thing I'd like to have a guarantee of is that the device will be delivered to my door and I'm not asked to go pick it up. To be honest this is mainly due to the whole COVID paranoia going on... let's just say I'm not a fan of the new norm and am not looking to pick fights in mass transit because someone expects me to wear NWO accessories on my face, I prefer staying in my home having little to do with the outside world and only going out to local shops when needed. The problem is that based on my experiences ordering from eBay in the past that some products arrive at a post office in the city center, I often had to go there to pick it up and they'd ask for additional money to be paid upfront, it's very far so there's no way of getting there on foot. I live in Romania, Bucharest (the capital).
Can people from different countries (especially Europe and Romania) share their experience with the delivery process please? Did you receive a notice by mail to go somewhere and pick up the device, or did the mailman bring it at your doorstep as I'm hoping will be the case here? It seems the huge additional shipping fees are calculated when placing an order for the PinePhone on the website (150$ becomes 200$ for this reason) so I'm hoping it includes any and every fee anyone could possibly want.
