Shipping a Bike Bag from Biarritz Airport to Santiago de Compostella on a Sunday / La Poste offices are closed

[Mobrien]

Hello, hoping someone can help me.
I arrive into Biarritz Airport (BIQ) this Sunday at 13:25 when all La Poste (French postal service) offices are closed
I plan to cycle to St Jean Pied de Port so need to post my Bike Bag & some spare clothes to SdC before I do.
Any ideas on how I can manage this on a Sunday?
Is there anywhere that will take my package & post it for me on Monday morning?
Regards,
M

Try Express Bourricot. They may be able to suggest something, for example, shipping it forward a few stages for you to use Correos. Or even shipping it to Santiago.

International customs issues, etc. Why not a bike box that you can dispose of in France and buy a new one in SdC for your return trip. You could carry your spare parts, n’est pas?

This site explains how to pack a bicycle in a cardboard box for shipping by plane. Very detailed and hopefully you will find it helpful. https://travellingtwo.com/resources/packingyourbike

You might be right although I have 2 other options now also

International customs issues, etc.

Postal services across EU borders may have their issues, but customs really isn't one of them.

Wait until Monday, take the train to SJPdP, pack your bike in a cardboard bike box (I've never used anything else), send your spare clothes from Pamplona but then why take clothes not required on the Camino? Less is more, any necessity can be found / bought along the way.
