Jacotrans- Much Appreciated

[Philrumming]

Jacotrans made our 713km French Camino (started at Pamplona) so much more comfortable. They were very reliable and our gear always arrived in the same condition that we dropped it off. Additionally, at locations where we stayed at air b&b or apartments: jacotrans was able to let us direct our bag to a hostel or Pensión nearby for easy retrieval (we had to call them in these cases: and they were able to work with us speaking English). Excellent service; highly recommended while doing the French Way Camino.

Personally, I do prefer BackpackTrans: cheap, excellent service, full freedom, no risk of losing something.

Bad service! I would expect it to be in a much newer condition
Glad to hear it

Ah.. that one is where some folks have "an issue" - this puts an undue burden on hospitaleros of the albergue who has to perhaps shlep the luggage or somewhat even be responsible for it all the while when the owner of said luggage is not staying there.....

Many of the hostals / pensions / albergues Jacotrans had us ship our bag to in these cases charged a small fee for pick-up and / or drop-off which we thought was completely reasonable (Jacotrans also advised when this was the case). Where we weren't charged, we offered money for the convenience.

I have an issue with this approach unless it has been arranged in advance, as Jacotrans seems to do, and a fee is paid to the property where the bag is held.
