Every bridge is a staircase
Between your hotel and the water there are steps, then more steps. That is the whole reason luggage in Venice costs more in effort than anywhere else in Italy.
Bag It Home · Venice
Ship your luggage home from Venice.
No wheels, no vans, and a bridge with steps every ninety metres. In Venice a courier's "hotel pickup" means a porter, a vaporetto and a fee at every stage, and you organising all three. Tell us where the bags are. We take them off your hands in the city or at Piazzale Roma, insure them from that second to your door at home, and you board the train to Milan with a daypack.

Why Venice is different
A courier wants a box, an address and you at home.
Couriers don't do canals
A van stops at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto; from there it is porters and boats. We arrange the handover where it is simplest for you and take the mainland leg ourselves.
Marco Polo and Treviso are far
If you fly out in a few days from Venice's airports, or leave by train for Milan, the bag you ship today is the bag you don't carry across one more bridge.
Where we collect: hotels and apartments in the sestieri, Piazzale Roma, Santa Lucia station, Mestre; Marco Polo airport on request. Tell us the address and the time window; we arrange the rest through our partner network.

Questions from Venice, answered.
Where do we hand the bags over in Venice?
At your hotel if it has a desk, at Piazzale Roma or Santa Lucia station if that is easier, or in Mestre. We agree the point and the time on WhatsApp.
How much does it cost to ship luggage home from Venice?
From €150 per bag, door to door. The exact price depends on weight, size and destination, quoted on WhatsApp before you commit.
Can you ship my bags home while I carry on to Lake Como?
Yes. Hand them over in Venice, finish the trip with a daypack, and we ship on the date you choose.
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.
