Luggage transfer services

was planning on using luggage transport for Camino Ingles. Had checked into Correos and Pilbeo. Both services seem to be off-line. Are they no longer set up to book online?

At this time of year the only luggage services are on the Frances between Sarria and Santiago and on the Portugues from Tui onwards. Luggage services on other routes are not usually available until Easter.

Fortunately, it's not like booking plane tickets or hotel rooms which can run out.

But, I've just been on the site, and it seems that it will allow me to book now. I got all the way to the payment page with no problem. I entered Ferrol in the box for the starting place, and randomly chose a hotel there, then entered May 11 for the start date. The next step was to fill in my name, email, etc. then pay.

Many people book only one day ahead as they don't book an entire Camino in case of illness or freedom to take an extra day.

If you pre-pay with Correos there is one price regardless of how many days you take, and you can notify them day by day as to where to pick up and drop off. So it is a good service for those who are booking day to day.
