Mailing/shipping items to another country

Time of past OR future Camino
Past: April 2012; Future: June/July 2017
I have a question about mailing a large item to another country from Santiago. I have planned a holiday in a few other countries after my Camino and was thinking to mail a large item from Santiago to Paris, where I would end and fly home from.
I would have 2 weeks from the time I leave Santiago and arrive in Paris. I also would need to pack the large item in some cardboard. Does anyone know if it is possible to do all of this and have it arrive within the 2 weeks?
 
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,-
Hi Heather,
The post office in Santiago has boxes that you can purchase and pack your item into, and if you mail it to a "poste restante" in Paris they'll hold it for you for 2 weeks (possibly longer). Or - if you know where you're staying in Paris you can contact your hotel and see if they'll accept a package for you.

But it shouldn't be a problem to ship from Santiago to another country, especially if it's in the EU. Hope that helps!

We just shipped our backpacks from Santiago to Oxford UK with Mailboxes etc. Takes a week, cost about 100€ for two big packs.
