I would suggest also: Correos. It sounds to me like what you want to transfer is the bag that you ship your bike in? To get it back home; yes?
In such a case, I doubt you want to be waiting 30-some days for it to travel one stage at a time across the Frances.

Hi Faye , Yes the bike bag . Ideally I would like to get it sent from the start Saint -Jean-Pied-De -Port
to a pick up point in Santiago where I can get it on my arrival . I have sent an e-mail to Express Buorricott and I am awaiting a reply but I will contact Correos and see what reply I get from them . Thank you for the info , It is appreciated . Jimmy

Correos do not operate from France. They are the Spanish Postal system. EB offer a direct to Santiago from France service.

Of course the OP could just carry their bike bag to Pamplona and hand it over to Correos tender care or perhaps identify a suitably impoverished Pilgrim and induce them to carry the item to Santiago for, say, €1 a day. Though they'll have a long wait in SdC while the mendicant schleps their way down those dusty roads

The Express Bourricot service sends it directly to Santiago, it doesn't go one stage at a time. Though it does go slower than Correos. However he needs to get into Spain to use Correos. Or chance it with mailing internationally from France.
