We are wanting to have a suitcase transported from Le Puy-en-Velay to Moissac, and for it to be held in Moissac until we arrive there 4 weeks later. La Malle Postale are expensive to do this one off transport, and limit the weight to 13 kg. Are there any alternatives we could try?
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

you could try La Poste [national postal service of France] ... the post office at Le Puy is just down the street from the train station where you will [presumably] arrive ... but I expect they will also have a weight limit ... worth a try nevertheless ...

Thanks. Looks like La Poste have some good options.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
