Backpack transport

Half-way thru Camino Frances and need advice on further backpack transport. Correos has done well so far but now unable to find access to printer (Carrion de Los Condes) to print the next series of albergues / hotels for pick-up ad delivery. Any suggestions for transport service from Ledigos to Santiago is more than welcome. Thank you.

Check at the library to see if you can print there? I have done that before.
Also check where you are staying to see if they will print it for you. Otherwise, I would write the name of the place you want the bag to go next on the old label. Correos will have an electronic record, but they like to have the written record on your bag, too.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Yes if you have not already arranged with Correos, use an envelope with another service.

Our even if they have, @edandverna you will find the Correos labels/envelopes at your accommodation along with those of other companies, and you can write the details on those. If you haven't already booked the next stages with Correos you can do so online or by phone. They have English speakers and are very helpful, in my experience.
 
Or use Caminofacil or any of the other services. Just fill out the envelope, pop in the cash, put it on your bag, and have the lodging call them to tell them to pick it up next morning.

I'm on the CF and using Correos. I inform them online and write the details on a label. When my home printed label filled I used a yellow Correos envelope. They are with the other transport company labels but possibly behind them. If you can't find one ask in a hotel or larger albergue. No need to print. They gave me another label.

What went wrong with the wonderful huge list of albergues given to you at the St Jean PdeP office?

Hi I'm travelling to Burgos to walk part of the Camino Frances next year and my options seems to be fly into Santander and coach to Burgos, or fly into Madrid, then coach to Burgos. Don't think...
