Backwards on the Camino del Norte?

Camino del Norte (May 2018)
Hola! My friend and I will be walking from Bilbao to San Sebastian in late May 2018. A short jaunt on the Camino for one week, and yes... backwards. Last year I walked Scotland's West Highland Way and there were several folks walking for the second time, and doing it backwards. So the baggage transfers also went that way. This does not seem to be the case on the CdN. Has anyone done this before and can recommend a company that will transfer bags in reverse down the route? So far we've tried Correos, Le Petit Bag and Peregrine Express with no success. Any suggestions appreciated.
