Hi there, I’m currently on the Camino. After I arrive in Santiago I still have a few weeks travel. I’d like to post my backpack, hiking poles and some other bits & pieces home to Australia. Do I just find a Correos office in Santiago? (Im having no joy negotiating their website).
Are there any other options?
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Try here https://www.correos.es/es/en/individuals/send/send-abroad/parcels-abroad

Or just go to the Correos at Rúa do Franco, 4, in Santiago. They will have advice and packaging available and, they are very used to meeting the needs of Pilgrims. Make sure there is someone at home to receive your parcel, otherwise it will bounce back to Spain after an interval.
 
Another option is using Mailboxes ETC in Santiago (they have two offices, each in google maps for them). I also offer this service here with DHL:
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

We did this in Nov. 2022, shipped home (USA) hiking poles and other hiking specific items we would not need for the rest of our trip. The Correos clerk in Santiago,was very helpful to us preparing the shipment. We were quoted an estimated delivery of 6 weeks, but the box arrived in 3 weeks, the day after we arrived home! :-)
