I’m interested in ordering around 10 items from ginatricot (they only ship to europe) and having it sent to me in the U.S. Would anyone be able to help with forwarding?

I would particularly be interested in shipping from the netherlands because they have the cheapest customs/shipping price

Alternatively, I have a friend who is taking a trip to italy and is willing to bring these items home from a parcel locker in italy. I am unable to sign up for any of these services because I don’t have an italian phone number. I would also be willing to pay someone to help me with this process (of getting my items shipped to the parcel locker).

Please let me know if you’re interested!! Or if you have an idea of how much this would cost total (including service fees, shipping, customs) for 10 items of clothing (mostly small t shirts, a few light pants)

like are there issues hard water/water quality in the showers? i’m from the west coast and ive had bad experience with midwest water quality and i just want to know if i should prepare for this

i know that chicago’s water is 175ppm which is pretty hard but do the dorms have any kind of filteration system for this? i’m not seeing any posts about it so i’m hoping it’s not an issue

I’m coming to uchicago next year and just saw that the nearest froyo is 30min away. I won’t have a car and I’m really worried about this. Are there any ways to get froyo on campus?

like 1. Is there anything closer/that has a really fast bus going to it? Google maps says the nearest one is forever yogurt, but it’s a 30min-1hr bus away. Is this place good?

2. are there any shops that let you buy froyo in bulk (like bring your own container on a certain day? where i can buy a lot and then freeze it at home?

3. has anyone had any luck with homemade froyo machines? I’m researching this but the results don’t really look like what you get in the store. i’m also not sure if i would be allowed to have this in the dorm.

I was really looking forward to living in the city because i thought there would be tons of froyo places but there are barely any. Is there any workaround?
