Hi Fellow Walkers,

Any picks for best service to use for a bag transfer on the coastal route?

Thanks,

Mike

We used Secur. Our bags were sent to our address on a Friday. No one was there so when we arrived we had no gear. We couldn't get bags till Monday Couldn't contact them Had to change travel while waiting.
So make sure you send them to an albergue or staffed hotel

I'm hoping to find a service that uses an app or other means to allow some flexibility. I'll be carrying most of my gear but need access to my duffel every few days. I have to bring my work laptop with me and don't want to carry it.

We just used Tuitrans 2 days ago. Contacted via email after 8 pm and they responded and picked up our packs around 9am next day. When we got to our next stop, they were there waiting for us. Only 7euro each. We were satisfied.
Ihad already looked into their service and was happy to hear our host also recommended their services.
