I have posted a short review on the great service MBX in Florence has given me over the years: shipping luggage ahead to my next destination so that I can take the train and stop to visit smaller towns that do not have luggage storage, shipping my purchases home as well as my computer so that I did not have to drag everything through the airport and pay the $100 fee for an extra bag and my favorite service, they store my luggage weekly for a fraction of the fee at the train station.
All my trips home to Italy are planned around a visit to Florence and I always visit the Four Women Of Mail Box Etc..
I may only return to Italy once a year and in rare years every 10 months but it does not matter. When I walk through the door it is as if I am visiting family….. Perhaps I am just an annoying ‘tourist’ who is continues to come by and bother the owners but they never indicate anything else but actual joy to see me.
Any I am sure to stop there early in every trip. They go beyond the services they list on their wall and have received awards for their efforts. Last December I came down with the flue while in town. Being too sick to travel I extended my visit. Who else would I ask for help in finding any medicine that would help but the Four Women Of Mail Box Etc. Right away a product was suggested to me as well as the pharachia (drug store) right down the street where I could obtain the medicine. In addition they gave met the pharmacist's NAME! This is an example of their kind service!
My Four Women of Mail Box Etc. have also had a following on YouTube. They reported to me that customers were stopping by saying they say them on the internet! So this year we updated their movie and I will share it with you now. Sorry only 3 of the 4 wonderful owners were present that day.
