The Nintendo Alarmo is currently easier to find at US retailers than in Italian stores

The high demand for the Nintendo Alarmo in 2026

The Nintendo Alarmo is an interactive sound clock that uses motion-sensing technology to wake users with sounds from their favorite games. Since its release, it has become a viral sensation, leading to persistent stock shortages in Italy and across the European Union. The device reacts to body movements, playing sound effects from Super Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild as you move in bed, and it only stops once you have fully stood up. This unique functionality has made it a must-have for Nintendo enthusiasts.

Buy It For Me

Obtaining the Alarmo from the US for faster delivery

While local Italian retailers often show the Alarmo as "out of stock," the US My Nintendo Store and major American electronics retailers have more frequent restock cycles. For many collectors in Milan or Rome, waiting for a local restock takes significantly longer than ordering from North America. Purchasing from a US store allows you to skip the European queue. To do this, you will need a tax-free US address to receive the item before it is sent to your home.

Where to find stock in the United States

Major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and the official My Nintendo Store are the primary sources for the Alarmo. These stores often refresh their inventory weekly. By using an international shipping service, you can access these products just as easily as a customer living in the United States.

The role of a package forwarder in your purchase

Using comGateway provides you with a dedicated US address. When you buy the Alarmo, you ship it to this address instead of your Italian residence. This is a common strategy for obtaining items that are region-locked or unavailable locally. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, you can use the shipping calculator to determine the final cost of sending it to Italy. For a clear step-by-step guide, you can review the process on the service provider's homepage.

Understanding the physical characteristics of the Nintendo Alarmo helps in calculating potential costs. Below are the estimates based on the standard retail packaging of the device.

How the BuyForMe service handles restricted US stores

Some US retailers, including the My Nintendo Store or specific tech outlets, frequently block orders that use international credit cards or addresses associated with known freight forwarders. This can result in immediate order cancellations for Italian shoppers. The BuyForMe service provides a solution to this problem.

When you use this service, a dedicated purchasing team buys the item on your behalf using a US-issued payment card and a domestic billing address. This ensures the order is accepted by the retailer. It is the most reliable way to guarantee that your Nintendo Alarmo is secured during a high-demand restock event. If you have questions about specific store restrictions, the FAQ section offers detailed answers on supported retailers.

Customs and VAT considerations for Italian residents

When the Alarmo enters Italy, it is subject to standard import regulations. As of 2026, the Value Added Tax (VAT) in Italy is 22%. This tax is calculated based on the value of the item plus the cost of shipping. Additionally, customs duties may apply, though electronics of this value often fall under specific thresholds. Using a reliable international shipping provider ensures that all necessary documentation is provided to the Agenzia delle Dogane, which prevents unnecessary delays at the border. You can always check the support pages for more information on how duties are handled for shipments to Europe.

Final delivery in Italy

Once the package clears customs, it is typically handed over to local couriers such as SDA, Poste Italiane, or BRT. Tracking remains active from the moment the package leaves the US warehouse until it reaches your doorstep in Italy, providing a transparent view of the journey.
