Help request - Correos delay

Hello. I sent a bag via Correos for pick up in SdC but it apparently has not arrived yet and I was told to try Monday.

I'm supposed to leave tomorrow (Sunday) night. Other than to stay in SdC and wait for it to arrive, do I have any options?

I'm very anxious and gratefully welcome any suggestions.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

My plans were to go to BENELUX for several days, then Berlin before leaving Europe to return home overseas.
 
Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Well I would stay in SDC until your bag shows. When do you leave Europe. Are you keen to keep BENELUX and Berlin as your destinations? What are the T and C l’s of your flight tickets ex SdC? Are you flying home from Berlin?

If you can paint broader picture of constraints and aspirations, I am sure we can help!

I leave Europe from Berlin next Sunday.

Everything (flights and hotels) is non-refundable so I'm looking at buying a new ticket out of SdC once the bag arrives to try to pick up my itinerary whenever I can.

One more question? When is your hotel i Berlin book and why Benelux?

Benelux is lovely of course but unless you have a specific reason to travel there I wpuld Focus on getting to Berlin. There is loads there and a short hop from the great cities of Leipzig, Dresden and Prague. Very easy areas to travel as it’s the heartland of Flixbus and Flixtrain.
 
Hopefully the bag arrives sooner rather than later to minimize my anxiety.

I have to say I wasn't expecting to outwalk the postal service, lol.

I do greatly appreciate everyone's thoughts and time.

I suppose I could see this as a form of intervention by a greater power for me to spend some more time in SdC and explore it more than I anticipated.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-

I think that it's very unusual that it's taking so long. When I shipped my bag from Irun to Casa Ivar in Santiago in 2018 I received notification the day after I sent it that it had already been delivered.

Correos has a track & trace system, do you have a code for your bag?
 
Possibly your stuff is there, check in person. Recently I renewed a passport and the tracking was messed up saying the passport was still on its way even when my bank showed that the passport office had cashed my check.

Just to add some info about picking up packages sent via Paq Peregrino to the Santiago Correos office - a woman on the Camigas FB group said that the office is open to pick up 7 days a week. I email Correos to verify this information, and their response was: Yes, you can pick up your suitcase or backpack the seven days of the week, from 8.30 to 20.30.

By the way, my specific question was ¿Se puede recoger paguetes y maletas enviados como Paq Peregrino los sábados o los domingos en Santiago de Compostela?
English translation - Is it possible to collect packages and suitcases sent as Pilgrim Package on Saturdays or Sundays in Santiago de Compostela?
