Hi everyone,
I’ve found myself in a very sticky situation. I need your help!
I’m about to start the Camino Frances very soon from SJPP, but my hiking rucksack is extremely heavy. Having seen everyone wear those huge rucksacks and being very small myself, I can’t carry it. It’s checked in at the airport and I want to arrive at SJPP and get it sent back to the UK. I’m taking a smaller day pack.
What are my options? Here’s the problem- companies like MyBaggage won’t accept any liquid, cosmetics, toiletries, nail varnish, battery power banks etc as they’re ‘prohibited’. All these things are in my luggage!
Should I:
a) Send everything via post office in France- will they accept the above prohibited items back to UK?
b) Use courier service (such as MyBaggage) to send my big 40-60L rucksack to a friend in an EU country then pick up from them? Is the rule only EU to UK or can I send anything EU to EU?
