Hi,

I am walking Porto - Santiago this summer.
Please could somebody give me advice on how I can:
1.) Post some belongings from the UK to Santiago and collect them 2 (ish) weeks later when I reach Santiago from Porto.
OR
2.) Post belongings from Porto to Santiago and collect them on arrival in Santiago a couple of weeks later.

Thanks very much!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
