Receiving Mail on Camino route

Could someone tell me where I might be able to receive a package about 1 week into the Camino Frances (leaving from SJPdP). My daughters wanted to give me a send off package of goodies, but the box has not arrived and I leave tomorrow morning before sunrise. They are hoping to send the box to me to pickup along the route. We're figuring 1 week mail delivery from the west coast of the U.S.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I had my mum send out parcels of books to me (before Kindle was kindly invented!) I got the address of post offices in towns along the route and she posted them a week before I got there ( from UK) I only ever had to wait an extra day once. But I also went to the wrong post office a few times too! Just put 'Poste Restante and your name on the parcel and ensure it gets there before you - they keep them for two weeks in general, so you should be ok to pick it up - you will need your passport. The tricky bit is deciding how far you will have got in the postage time...
 
Thanks. My daughters are devastated - I can only assume they had take lots of time in preparing my send off packet (It's my first overseas travel without my children). They are hoping they can find it and redirect it to Pamplona before I get there.

Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Has anyone ever ordered something from amazon.es to receive along the Camino route? We are thinking we may need to order shoes.
