Of course. We appreciate that. But will they accept, or no?I would recommend staying at accommodation that accepts bags. Why would you expect an albergue to provide you a service (watching over your luggage) if you aren't staying there?
We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight? Thanks.
It depends on the situation and in some cases yes. Each private albergue is (obviously) privately owned and there isn't a set of rules that covers every situation.Of course. We appreciate that. But will they accept, or no?
Albergues do not a provide luggage transfer service. It is the luggage transfer company that does that. Having luggage delivered or collected creates work for the albergue. However, any private enterprise will allow pick up and collection if you are staying there, as will many albergues. Transport companies also usually have a drop off point such as a local café or bar where luggage can be dropped off if it can´t be delivered to a particular albergue.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

Which company are you using? I have used Caminofacil for years for my group trips. We stay in hotels, pensions, albergues with private rooms, casa rurales, and Caminofacil delivers and picks up our bags to all of those with no problems so far.
I can also vouch for Caminofacil. Based on our experience, they are more expensive but they have an English-speaking contact that can be easily reached on Whatsapp, they're very efficient and will do their best to accommodate your request. We stayed mostly in private rooms, I just sent them the address where to pick up the luggage and where to deliver it. They also accept payments online.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

You have private accommodations booked. Pack transportation is inexpensive because it is a pick up and drop off service. You leave your item in a designated corner and it is dropped off in a corner. It is assumed that there is nothing of real value worth stealing. It is not a valet type service. Your accommodation likely has the envelopes and is on the transportation service.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

Your understanding is incorrect. You've been given useful information above.we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue
There were several times I stayed in private accommodations (AirBnB like). I called/texted the baggage transfer company and they identified a nearby albergue or hotel where I could drop off our pick up my pack.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

YUp. I have alluded to that in other threads no matter what topic. If something happened any time pre-COVID it has a chance of 99% possibility of not being applicable anymore. Sad as it maybe - thats the hard truth of today's world. So, just to use this thread as an example, if someone were to answer: SURE! I done did drop my 100cm x 100cm x 100cm hard-shell 100kg suitcase at the albergue I didn't stay at with no problem in 2008,.....well....What was last year (and before) is perhaps not this year.

It's good to know also, that in my experience, bags must be at the collection point by 8:00am - the transport drivers are punctual.This is great information. Much appreciated, Doughnut.
I've stayed at numerous hotels, pensions, and private albergues while hiking the CF in 2022. They all accepted my luggage. If you are worried, check with the transport company you plan to use. My experience is that they are usually quite responsive to these types of questions.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

We stayed in private accommodation the entire time.And did the Camino from St. Jean Pied de Port all the way to Santiago. We used a luggage transfer company every day and there was never a problem.We already booked our private accom at S.Sebastián, but wish to have our luggage sent ahead. we understand that needs to be done from a Camino albergue - can we drop it there in the morning if we haven’t stayed at the albergue overnight?

I have read about one albergue that will only accept backpacks, but it's much further back on the Camino than Sarria.Will they accept a small cabin luggage for the transfer? And will I get odd looks bringing a luggage? I
