Bag It Home · Ship ahead

Your bags leave before you do.

Picture the arrivals hall at Malpensa at 7am after a night flight. Everyone else is watching the carousel. You walk past it with a daypack, because your suitcases left home a week ago and are already at your hotel in Rome, in the room, waiting. That's the whole service. We collect at your front door, carry the bags insured and door to door, and hand them to your first hotel in Italy before you land.

How it works

Three steps. Zero carousel.

Tell us the hotel and the date

Your home address, your first hotel or apartment in Italy, how many bags, when you land. A real person sends the price and the collection date on WhatsApp, usually within minutes.

We collect at your door

A courier picks the bags up at home on the agreed day. Insured from that moment. We confirm with the hotel that they will receive them, and tell you when they've arrived.

They're waiting when you check in

Hotel, apartment or villa: if there is no desk to receive them, we hold the bags and bring them when you arrive. Going on to Florence? We move them again. Going home? We ship them back.

Your quote

Six answers.
One honest price.

From €150 a bag. Weight, size, where you ship from and the hotel's city set the exact price, so we ask before we quote instead of guessing. The number covers collection at your door, the journey, customs paperwork help and delivery to the hotel.

  • Two weeks in Italy, three cities? Send the big bags ahead and move them city to city while you travel with a daypack.
  • Skis, golf clubs, a bike, a wedding dress? The things airlines charge most for are the things that should travel without you.
  • Arriving late at night? The bags arrived days ago. Check in, open the case, sleep.

The carrier re-weighs every parcel. A bag heavier than declared is billed at the real weight plus a handling charge, so an exact number protects your price.

Why not check it in?

Because the airport is where the holiday goes to wait.

A checked bag costs you twice: once at the desk, and once at the other end, when you stand at the carousel, drag it to the train, lift it onto the rack, wheel it across cobblestones and carry it up the stairs of a hotel that doesn't have a lift. A bag that travelled ahead skipped all of it and is sitting in your room.

Couriers will take a box to an address. We take a suitcase from your front door to a hotel desk in a country you haven't reached yet, confirm the hotel will receive it, stay on the phone until it's there, and hold it ourselves if there is nobody to sign. One price, one person answering.

Who sends ahead

Long trips with several cities. Families with a bag per child. Skiers, cyclists, golfers, wedding parties. Anyone who has done the Rome station stairs once and will not do them again.

What can't go in the bag

Wine and spirits, loose lithium batteries and power banks, cash, jewellery and documents, anything perishable. We tell you before you pack, and we help with the customs form.

Heading home at the end? The same service runs the other way: Bag It Home collects anywhere in Italy and delivers to your door.

Questions, answered.

How far ahead should I send my luggage to Italy?

Ask for the quote as soon as you have the hotel and the dates. We tell you the collection date that gets the bags to the hotel before you land; the lead time depends on where you ship from, and you get it with the price.

Will the hotel accept my bags before I arrive?

Hotels with a reception almost always do; we confirm with them in advance and send you the confirmation. For an apartment or villa without a desk, we hold the bags and deliver them when you check in.

How much does it cost?

From €150 per bag, door to door. Weight, size, origin and the hotel's city set the exact price, and you get it on WhatsApp before you commit.

Can you move my bags between Italian cities too?

Yes. Rome to Florence to Venice with a daypack on the train, and the suitcase already at the next hotel. Same quote, same insurance.

Are my bags insured?

Yes, from the moment they're collected until they're handed over at the hotel, with a photo at handover.

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