Two hundred steps
Tropea's old town sits on the rock; the beach, the port and most of the parking sit below it. A bag that ships from the hotel never climbs back up.
Bag It Home · Calabria
Ship your luggage home from Calabria.
Tropea is a cliff with a town on top and a beach at the bottom, joined by two hundred steps. The case came down them once. Tell us where the bags are: Tropea, Pizzo, Scilla, Reggio Calabria or a village on the Costa degli Dei. We collect at the door, insure them from that second to your door at home, and you take the train to Lamezia, or the ferry to Sicily, with a daypack.

Why Calabria is different
A courier wants a box, an address and you at home.
Lamezia is the way out
Most trips end at Lamezia Terme airport, an hour away by train or car. Collection the day before leaves the last morning for the sea, not the suitcase.
Small towns, no counters
No left-luggage rooms, no courier shops in the old centre. Shipping starts with someone collecting at the door, and that someone is our partner driver.
Where we collect: hotels, B&Bs and apartments in Tropea, Capo Vaticano, Pizzo, Scilla, Reggio Calabria, Soverato and the Costa degli Dei; Lamezia Terme airport on request. Tell us the address and the time window; we arrange the rest through our partner network.

The bags travel insured and meet you at home, with a photo at handover. Still travelling? We hold them and ship on the date you choose, so they arrive after you do. The full picture, customs included, is on the Bag It Home page and in the guide to shipping luggage home from Italy.

Questions from Calabria, answered.
Can you collect in Tropea?
Yes. The driver comes to the hotel or apartment door in the old town; agree the window on WhatsApp. One of this autumn's quotes was Tropea to the UK, 1 bag, typically €160 to €200.
How much does it cost to ship luggage home from Calabria?
From €150 per bag, door to door. Weight, size and destination set the exact price, quoted on WhatsApp before you commit. Collection in Calabria is included.
I'm going on to Sicily. Can you ship from here and hold the bags?
Yes. Hand them over in Calabria, cross to Sicily with a daypack, and we ship on the date you choose so they arrive home after you do.
Can you deliver to an apartment or an Airbnb?
Yes, when someone can sign at delivery. We check with the host first. If nobody can, we deliver to a hotel reception or hold the bag until you say.
I leave tomorrow. Is that too late?
Usually not. Collection needs one working day's notice in most cities. Tell us when you fly and the first possible collection day comes back in the reply.
Does the bag need a box?
Leaving Italy, yes: every bag ships inside a cardboard box, and the hotel reception usually has one. Within Italy a sturdy suitcase can travel as it is. We tell you which applies with the quote.
Can I ship liquids, perfume or shampoo?
No. Liquids and aerosols stay in your hand luggage. The carriers refuse them and the whole bag would be stopped.
How much does it typically cost?
Typically about €350 a bag to the USA, Canada or Australia, €160 to €200 within Europe and €100 to €150 within Italy, collection included. Weight, destination and the day set the firm price, which you get on WhatsApp before you pay.

P.S. The quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing. The worst case is you learn what it would have cost, and carry the bag anyway.
