The best option from SJPdP is Express Bourricot. At €70 to send one suitcase it may seem a little expensive, but it's actually cheaper than transferring the luggage every day until Pamplona and mailing it from there, and much less hassle.

It's also super convenient. You just go to Express Bourricot's office, fill out a form, pay the fee, and let them know where you will be spending the night. In the morning simply leave your bag at your accommodation and Express Bourricot will pick it up.

In Santiago it is held at the Loop Inn hotel which has 24/7 reception, so you can pick up your luggage at your convenience. They also offer a discount on a room for those who use Express Bourricot.

Shipping luggage from SJPP, to Casa Ivar?
Easy? Costly (cheaper than Taxi + Shipping)?
Location?
Thanx in advance!
Well, at least you are wasting no time with your questions to the forum 😂. Here‘s what the website of French mail, commonly known as La Poste, wants to know from you:

kg?
standard? If yes, length, width, height?
voluminous?
tube?

Best of luck and Buen Camino ☺️.

@ivar has said that there have been problems/delays with items sent to him through the French post, hence my recommendation of Express Bourricot.

Use DPD, they are experts in international parcel shipments. Package 10-20 kg costs EUR 32
Then you need to send it to someplace like a hotel where you plan to stay in Santiago that will agree to hold it for you, or pay Ivar for storage at his location.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

And when you look up the DPD website you see that their partner in France is called Chronopost.

And when you enter the postcode for Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the website you see a list of places in SJPP where you can drop off your parcel. One of them is the Post Office in SJPP.

The others are various shops including a Carrefour supermarket but in this case I think you need to have your parcel wrapped up, registered online and with the proper address labels glued onto it - after first having printed out these required labels of course.

I'd go with @trecile's recommendation and Express Bouricot. :cool:
