This is not so much a tourist question, but maybe it will still be of interest to people who are staying in Florence for an extended time.
My daughter is moving to Florence this fall for a 4-year college course. Her apartment - which is in the Oltrarno area - is furnished but we will still need to buy a few large and/or heavy items when we get there. (Things we would not want to bring back on a bus.) And from time to time throughout the year she will likely need to have other things delivered.
I haven't been able to find much information online about how deliveries work there. If we order things from Amazon or Ikea, will someone have to be home to receive the delivery? If no one is home (since she will be in school most of the time) will it get taken to a post office or somewhere else?
Thank you for any help!
