I believe the Spanish postal service Coreos is your best bet. I got caught out with a “ regional” private company who didn’t inform about their borders. Coreos we’re good for me and even contacted to remind me when I was in fact, taking a rest day. When an albergue changed name they took the mochilla to the local post office and I picked it up from there. People also mention Jacotrans but I would compare rates too,I'm sure this has been covered extensively already; however, I can't seem to find a quick and easy answer.
We are in the initial stages of thinking about our next walk, this will be our fifth, and while we have never used a luggage transport service before, the idea of getting our packs shipped forward each day is getting more and more appealing the more we think about it.
We have walked the Francigena, the Portuguese, the GR65 and the Gebennensis and now it's time to tackle the Frances.
Starting in Saint-Jean is there a single transfer service that operates all the way to Santiago?
I have seen that the Express Bourricot company will do day 1 to Roncevaux but from there is it possible to get just the one group to handle the entire thing?
It's a little confusing on their website, but it saysIn 2019, we used Express Bourricot to transfer our packs from SJPP to Burguete. As I remember, we had to drop off our packs at their office
Thanks for that Pepper, much appreciated.This year, my third Camino and first using luggage transfer. As others have suggested, I used Express Bourricot to get bag to Roncesvalles - they did pick my bag up from my hotel (or you drop at their office). From Roncescales, used JacoTrans to Ponferrad without issue. Then moved on to Camino Invierno, much fewer services.

Thanks for the information Isobel, very handy. Cheers.I believe the Spanish postal service Coreos is your best bet.

That's great information Pat, thanks very much. I notice that at the moment they are only offering the service from Sarria.The Spanish Post Office “Correos” will do it from Roncesvalles to Santiago. They are excellent. We have used them for the whole of the Camino del Norte in 2018 and this year we used them for the Frances from Roncesvalles, Muxia/Finisterre, Camino Ingles and Camino Primitivo. We organised it all completely before we left home and had no problems with them while we were walking.
Their website is very easy to navigate.

We used Express Bourricot between St Jean Pied de Port, Auberge Borda and Roncesvalles.
Buen Camino.
During the winter Correos only runs between Sarria and Santiago.That's great information Pat, thanks very much. I notice that at the moment they are only offering the service from Sarria.
I'm guessing that at some point next year they will open up the online booking service to add in extra stages.
Absolutely. Just as Trecile has said.That's great information Pat, thanks very much. I notice that at the moment they are only offering the service from Sarria.

Ive used Jacotrans, and found them great, especially as I was an inconsistent user.I'm sure this has been covered extensively already; however, I can't seem to find a quick and easy answer.
