Hi all, I'm doing my first Camino Portuguese from Porto in April 2020 and my elderly parents will be joining. It's going to be easier for my 78 year old mother if her backpack can be delivered like on the Frances. Does anyone know if this is an option on the Portuguese?

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
We used Tuitrans twice, in 2018 and this year, and found them reliable and responsive. In both years, they were willing to accommodate changes in the itinerary.
 
Thanks all for the quick responses! Very much appreciated

I also used Tuitrans in 2015 albeit only from Tui to SdC but they were very efficient, reliable and helpful.
Highly recommend.
Buen Camino
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Tatiana at TuiTrans just said there are road problems and they may not be able to get my (2 kilo extra weight) bag from Porto on Oct 21 to SdC by Nov 11.
Price would be 75 Euro so decided to discard or carry the extra kilos.
