The villages are built on stairs
Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso: no cars in the centre, no lifts, and the suitcase you dragged down on arrival has to go back up to leave. Unless it doesn't.
Bag It Home · Cinque Terre
Ship your luggage home from the Cinque Terre.
Nobody warns you that Vernazza is vertical. Your apartment is up four flights of stone steps, the station is down them, and the train to Pisa leaves with a queue on the platform. Tell us where the bags are. We collect them in the village or at La Spezia, insure them from that second to your door at home, and you ride the coastal train with a daypack and both hands for the camera.

Why Cinque Terre is different
A courier wants a box, an address and you at home.
Couriers stop at the main road
Delivery vans don't enter the old villages. We do the last stretch ourselves, or meet you at the station, so the handover is one conversation, not three.
The next stop is hands-free
Florence, Pisa, Genoa or the airport: ship the big bags today and the rest of Italy is a regional train with a daypack.
Where we collect: apartments and hotels in the five villages, the stations on the coastal line, La Spezia Centrale, Levanto; Monterosso seafront hotels. Tell us the address and the time window; we arrange the rest through our partner network.

How it works
Three steps. Zero lifting.
Tell us where the bags are and where they're going; a real person sends the price on WhatsApp, usually within minutes. A driver collects at the time you choose. 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 Cinque Terre, answered.
Where do we hand the bags over in the Cinque Terre?
At your accommodation if there is someone to hand them to, otherwise at the village station, in Monterosso, Levanto or La Spezia. We agree the point and the time on WhatsApp.
How much does it cost to ship luggage home from the Cinque Terre?
From €150 per bag, door to door. The exact price depends on weight, size and destination, quoted on WhatsApp before you commit.
Can you hold the bags while I finish the trip?
Yes. Hand them over here, carry on to Florence or Rome with a daypack, and we ship on the date you choose so they arrive 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.
