Yeah, my buddy told some crazy stories. Apparently enforcement was pushed down to the ward level, so it varied. Where my friend lived, you could order, but they couldn't get drivers since they were being turned away at checkpoints. So there was a small trickle in the first couple of weeks.
He also told me a lot of foreigners assumed "the government said they'll provide food, so no need to stockpile". After going a day or two without food one of them wiggled his way between the razor wire and found an open convenience store. While he stood outside, they grabbed everything the best they could and sent him on a his way. He successfully got home without getting busted (but I heard the cops were generally sympathetic when encountered).
