Hi I start to walk the Central on April 24th from Porto and need to send a suitcase to IVAR in Santiago for storage. Has anyone done this and if so did you use DHL or another courier company and what is the process please? Thanks

The easiest way would probably be to use a company like Tuitrans. It won't go to Ivar though - it would go to the storage facility that they use.

Tuitrans transports luggage quickly and safely, stage by stage and directly to Santiago de Compostela

The company that I used to ship my suitcase from Lisbon to Santiago was Luggage Driver. They use the storage facility at the Loop Inn in Santiago. Their service was excellent.

I travel with a duffel bag that I use as cabin baggage. I posted it to Ivar from Lisbon using a standard postage box. I have done this before without any problems, but I'm not sure how the CTT would handle a suitcase.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hi - Ivar has a luggage transfer service from Portugal now too. Go to “Casa Ivar” and look up luggage services. That might help.
 
Thank you! Do you recall approx what the cost was??

In 2022 I paid €40 to have my carry-on size suitcase sent to Santiago. There was also a €5 fee at the drop off and pick up points.

We walked from Porto to Santiago in September and just went to the post office in Porto and sent out excess bags to PO in Santiago. Best of luck
