NCS baggage transfer from Ponferrada

September-October 2023 (Camino Frances)
NCS (Nunca Camina Solo) baggage transfer was great and responsive between Logroño and Ponferrada. However, wanted to send a heads up regarding the partner from Ponferrada onwards. They have neglected to pick up a reserved bag at Portomarin (and later delivered it by taxi when the hotel staff at our next stop called them). However, when I reached out to voice my concerns about next day pickup via WhatsApp they did not reply and we lost confidence in them. Going with a different company onwards.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Used NCS from Zubiri to SC last April May. Had no problems at all and found staff super helpful, friendly and good humoured.
 
Wow! A shame...
Used them throughout all of my Francés May-June 22 from Roncesvalles all the way to SdC with no issues one so ever. Any communications via WhatsApp was answered promptly.
The only difference I see is that here it was a "reserved" bag whereas mine were all on daily basis meaning NCS picked it "today" at the same albergue they dropped "yesterday"
Perhaps just a fluke?
In any case good luck and Buen Camino
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Thank you. I’d like to think it was a fluke too and hope the others have smooth sailing. We were also booking on daily basis.
