All done. Our poor Spanish didn’t help! We came back later to the Correos office and spoke with a staff member who we were able to communicate with in English. We insisted and showed screenshots and eventually worked it out. Thanks everyone for your comments. We are just stressed because we have had a few hiccups at the very start! Buen camino!
Well done. Glad it got fixed.
I had some challenges myself this year. Might help others to tell the story.
Things I learned in the process.
Paq Peregrino is for stuff to be held at a Post Office for your collection.
It includes luggage according to their website.
And you have 45 days to collect it.
To mail to an 'address' like Casa Ivar, you use use regular mail.
Long story.
I sent two mailing tubes as 'supply boxes' ahead of myself on the VdlP this year.
They were too long for paq peregrino so went regular mail.
Regular mail is only held for collection at the post office for 15 days I think.
I was a week late arriving for my first supply tube.
It was returned to sender (me)
But............ a tip.
I put the return address as the Post Office in Santiago.
I thought 'no way' it will still be there, when I arrive after 60 days on Camino.
It was!
The guy in the Post Office was amazing and found it out in the back store.
I was lucky!
I also sent a tube or two, to Casa Ivar. Not via paq Peregrino.
No problems at all with that.
A great service by
