Indeed. I posted a parcel from Lisbon when I started the CP in 2023, and while I didn't time the process, it was incredibly time consuming. It seemed that I was in the post office for over an hour, although some of that was waiting for my turn to be served. Last year, I posted a book back to Australia, and was prepared for it to be time consuming, and wasn't disappointed. On both occasions, the staff were being quite careful to ensure that everything was done correctly, indicating that perhaps this wasn't something they were doing regularly enough to be completely familiar with.

But do you need to do all the customs procedures to send something to Spain?

You would have to ask the postal staff that, and whether their processes were all customs related.

Ivar says that private shipping firms are a safer bet than post office services when shipping from Portugal to Spain.

Several Christmas parcels that I received while I was living in Portugal had to be returned because I refused to pay the outrageous duty they wanted to charge me. One was only a 2023 calendar and they wanted 50 euros.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I would defer to his experience, although when I used CTT, or had items delivered by CTT, the items arrived at Ivar's store without any issues.

My apologies. I have just seen Ivar's latest video where he talks about collecting from various places. I don't have the details, but that sounds like it would be a good solution if you can arrange that.

On a PC, click on the shell in the header bar, scroll down and you will find a link to Ivar's videos. At the moment, it is also appearing on the bottom of the page.

Also in the menu at the top of the page* here in the forum you can see "Services by Casa Ivar in Santiago" with a downward pointing triangle next to it. Click on the triangle and a menu opens. "Luggage Storage Services in Santiago de Compostela" is the first item in that menu. On that page you can find out how to ship items to Ivar or have them picked up from wherever you are and taken to Casa Ivar.
