parcelCourier services for your extra luggage

Homeward Bound
[Anna Rebecca DiBenedetto]

Okay, let’s admit it, Florence is one of the shopping capitals of the world and who can resist all of the temptations it offers? It is amazing how much you can accumulate.
Presents for everyone and all that stuff you have collected. Stuff you thought you wouldn’t have any trouble fitting into your expandable suitcases. After all, that is what expandable suitcases are for right? The only problem is that they only expand so far. So how on earth are you going to get everything home now?

Buying another suitcase would be an option but airlines are becoming stricter about overweight and the costs for bringing your extra luggage home would be extremely high. So all things considered your best option is to send your belongings by mail. Yes, that is right, mail. While it used to be complicated to send a package with Italian mail, and the results were at best uncertain, times have changed. If you want fast and super reliable results there now several private companies that have cut down the red tape of mailing, and the results are excellent.


Companies like Mailboxes Etc. will handle your parcels and entrust them to the most suitable service of leading international couriers like Ups and FedEx. Of course the cost is based on weight and how quickly you want your package to arrive. Mailboxes Etc. have offices on Via San Gallo, and they also offer a 10% discount to readers of ViviFirenze. They are open all day on weekdays and in the mornings on Saturdays. Their helpful staff will layout all of your options for getting your package home and if you can’t find a box they will even provide one and do your packing. You just need your stuff. Amazing.

When you send your packages please remember that they all pass through customs, so do not send any illegal items and remember that if you are sending used goods you will need to write that down in the customs declaration or else you may have to pay duty.
