Thank you for the advice, everyone!I got in from my walk anywhere from 12:00-4:00 and whenever I used transfer (Jacotrans), my bag had always reached my destination.
We've used Jacotrans 3 different years and the service was good every time. Bags are almost always delivered by 1pm. Should be no problem.I'm planning on using a baggage transfer service on the Frances route daily, as I have bad knees. For those who have used one previously, could you give me an estimate of the average time of day one can expect their bag to arrive? I'm wondering how long I might be waiting if I arrive at my destination by 1pm or so. I figured I'd go with Jacotrans as it seems to be well recommended. Any info greatly appreciated.
the bags have usually arrived by the time the albergue opens. All the transport companies are good.I'm planning on using a baggage transfer service on the Frances route daily, as I have bad knees.

Oh oh. I have booked Correos for June/July and i have one apartment booked! I didn’t know they didn’t deliver to apartments! I’ll have to arrange something with them I guess.I walked last year on CF and used Jacotrans and Correos. Both worked well. Jacotrans was willing to pick up and deliver to more locations, like apartments, etc. Correos will only go to albergues and hotels. I recommend adding a smart gps tag to your bag and you are able to track the location. This came in handy a few different times when our bag was not delivered correctly, only happened with Correos. Apple and Samsung make great ones.
I used either of the two main transfer companies occasionally while walking the CF last September. It worked out fine, with delivery always before noon—until the day my backpack didn't get picked up at all in Leon and I got to Mazarife with only the few items in my fanny pack, and hostel hosts who had more important things to do than assist me. (Unfortunately, I don't remember which of the companies let me down that day.) However, I talked with a fellow peregrino later who was using a baggage service every day and had arranged to text it every morning to remind it to pick up the packs of himself and his companions. I suggest you do the same. -MartyI'm planning on using a baggage transfer service on the Frances route daily, as I have bad knees.

Our favourite company was Camino Facil. We used JacoTrans the first time around.

If the apartment or AirBNB you have booked is on their list it will get there. We used Correos on our walk in the autumn and they delivered to all of the places we found on AirBNB and Booking.com.Oh oh. I have booked Correos for June/July and i have one apartment booked!

Wow, 1pm is great!We've used Jacotrans 3 different years and the service was good every time. Bags are almost always delivered by 1pm. Should be no problem.
I’ve booked Correos and got the card to attach to bag. I printed 5 times and filled out every day. Then i got them laminated. Where do i fill out online???I have used Correos 4 times and never had a problem. Even when I called there was always someone who spoke English. The one time My tag had the wrong destination from what I put in online they called to clarify. I booked ahead so I was able to book my transfer ahead of time online and it was about 4-5€ a day. My bag was never later than 2pm. I have an iPhone and I bought an Apple tracker and put in my bag and always knew where my bag was. Best $20 I ever spent.
I sent them a mail with a list and and also used mail if I had to change place.I’ve booked Correos and got the card to attach to bag. I printed 5 times and filled out every day. Then i got them laminated. Where do i fill out online???

I would use the service the alburge recommended. My routine when using transfer service: Call destination and make sure they are open and have a bed. Grab a transfer service envelop and complete it. Call transfer service and confirm pickup and drop off. And most important, take picture of completed envelop with attached pack. It is so easy, as you walk, to not be sure where you planned on staying.I'm planning on using a baggage transfer service on the Frances route daily, as I have bad knees.
