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

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!
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
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)
