Luggage from Tui?

[Julzz]

Hello. We will be walking from Tui to Santiago de Compostela in a couple of weeks and will be carrying our back packs. I have been incredibly sick over the last month and am a bit concerned about my level of fitness as I have not been able to do any walking during that time to prepare (although I am generally a keen walker). My question is - if I find walking with a pack too onerous (it's how I normally travel), would it be possible to hire a taxi to carry our luggage from one town to the next? I'm sure I'm going to be up to walking by the time I get there but am now not sure about whether I'll be up to carrying my pack. Thanks to anyone who may have some information to offer.

Many commercial companies doing transport of backpacks .About €4 /5 per section. I have just walked a week ago so have have seen.
Tuitrans & correos (post office) ect. All collect from lodging ie private or albergue & deliver to your destination.

It appears on the Camino Portugese more people are transporting their packs than are wearing them. Some don't even bother with packs and use regular suitcases.

Plenty of options to chose from.
