Correos: can I call them to send my package to another Correos office?

[soleysoul]

My stuff is currently waiting for me at the Correos in Lugo, Spain. But it turns out I won't be there to pick it up.

Can I call/email them, to ship my stuff to another Correos office (like the one in SdC, or elsewhere)? Has anyone done this?

TIA!

I think that you will have to call them to find out.

i doubt it... best to ask them

If you have received an email from Correos with the confirmation of sending the parcel / arrival of your package, you should be able to use the password and change the location. AFAIK this can be done within the province, so for instance Lugo - Madrid won't be possible.
You cannot change the location by simply calling them - computer says NO. so follow the instructions in the email.

I’m struggling to think of any sufficiently organised country I’ve visited where that might be possible. The only candidate I can offer is Switzerland - but they would probably require the signatures of all four grandparents.

The Paq Peregrino service allows you to ship a backpack or suitcase from A to B.
Could you use this to move your stuff from Lugo to where you want it to be?

I tried that on the VdlP last year.
Tried calling, asking at another Correos along the way.
Whilst technically possible, no one could make it happen.

Tip for future… (that I learned here)

Make the return address the Correos in Santiago.

That’s how I got it back. (the period of storage ran out - 15 days I think - and it got returned to sender)
