Is this the cheapest or a business you promote?

You’re asking a Tinker about a price? So far as I’m aware that is the only business that will meet your requirements. You can try international postage if you want. So long as you have a receiving address. You can schlepp it with you using one of the baggage transport companies and post it from Pamplona.

The price is the price. You can ask the company what it is and make a decision.

And no, I have no commercial interest in the Camino Santiago. I just pray for its soul

I've used Express Bourricot several times. I did not want to risk sending my suitcase via the French post office because I had read that there could be issues with cross border post.

Express Bourricot is super easy and convenient. You just go to their office next to the pilgrims office in SJPdP, give them your information, including where you are staying in St Jean and pay the fee. They give you a tag to attach to your luggage. In the morning all that you have to do is leave your bag at reception of your accommodation, and they pick it up. When you arrive in Santiago it will be waiting for you at the Loop Inn, which has 24 hr reception so you can pick it up when it's convenient for you.

I am planning on doing exactly this for my 1st Camino (Frances) starting Aug 27th solo. I have 2 weeks after the Camino and wanted to have other clothes and shoes, especially because it will be cooler than when I start out. After looking into all options, Express Bourricot seems to be the best and surest option - not to mention the convenience. Last I saw, depending on the size of the luggage, it was about 70 euros but it may have gone up since then.

According to their website it still is €70:

Price: €70 per suitcase, 20kg max, transport and storage included. You won't have to pay anything else once in Santiago.
