Click away shopping, where customers pre-order their purchases and then go to shops by appointment to pick them up, began in Greece on Sunday for all shops that chose to open, including supermarkets, ANA reports.
While non-essential retail is restricted as a measure to contain Covid-19, an exception has been made for the holiday season between December 13 and January 7, where customers will be able to pick up goods from shops in order to reduce the workload on courier companies, which are unable to keep up with demand.
An electronic or phone order is mandatory, while the goods can only be picked up by a single person, who must have documentary proof of the order in the form of an e-mail from the business that includes its name, address, and tax number, as well as the time of collection. The individual must also send an SMS or have documentation for leaving the home, using code 2 as when shopping for food and other essentials.
Goods must be collected at the entrance of shops, without customers entering, while payment must be made electronically or through a POS. Customers waiting to pick up goods must maintain a distance of at least two meters, while only nine people are allowed to queue at a time.
Travel to pick up goods is only permitted within the boundaries of each region, not crossing from one region to another, while businesses will be required to draw up a list of the day’s appointments at the beginning of each day, which must be shown during inspections.
