Just needing some advice please ....
How easy would it be to find/buy one of those cardboard packing tubes in Santiago? (to send hiking poles home as check luggage)
OR, would I be better off sending a small suitcase from SJPDP to Santiago? Any idea what this would cost either by post, or one of those private transport companies?
The current plan is: 4 sets of hiking poles will be sent from Australia to SJPDP in a small suitcase as checked luggage. We are happy to dispose of the case in SJPDP if we are confident we can easily buy packing tubes in Santiago for the trip home. However, if it's not too expensive to get that case from SJPDP to Santiago, I think I would prefer to do that (a case is less likely to go astray in transit than a small packing tube .... I'm rather fond of my hiking poles and would hate to lose them)
