Hi everyone. I’m wondering what the weight limit is for transported bags? I searched some threads however did not find an answer. My friend and I will be leaving soon and thought we would combine luggage however I’m thinking we would be over the weight limit if we did that.

Thanks!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

I used Pilbeo last month... excellent service and 20kgs limit, ( our bag weighed 21kgs and they took it...)

The weight limit is 33pounds for pac monchila, so likely one bag per person.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

TopSantiago and Pilbeo both have a 20kilo limit. I know Correos is 15kilos
 
TopSantiago and pilbeo have a 20kg limit. I am using Topsantiago this year and their communications so far have been excellent. I used Pilbeo from Porto last year and can highly recommend them.
 
I just finished the CF and used Jacotrans. My bag weighed 20 kilos. But perhaps their limit is 15 on paper. I didn’t have any issues.
