Reverse daily luggage transfer

Time of past OR future Camino
Frances, Ingles, Primitivo, Portuguese, Norte etc.
In May I'll walk the VDLP from Salamanca. I was considering that following that maybe walk the Frances in reverse, so to speak, from SDC to SJPDP, having walked it already four times the other way. An older poor back would benefit from transferring most of my pack daily but am unsure if this is possible to do. Seems logically possible. Any insights?

Correos offers a service where you can send you bag for collection at another post office.. it's not available everywhere, it's not cheap, and it takes 24-48 hours before you can retrieve your paq at a post office.

Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I did a reverse to Porto via the coast route from Santiago and it was difficult to get everyday transfers, I walked less daily 18 klms and managed to establish a connection with various taxi drivers via hostel hosts and other taxi drivers, I got phone numbers going ahead over say 100 klm radius and that worked out OK but not everyday, was about 8-10 euro each trip
 
I have a tentative arrangement with Caminofacil for a reverse transfer from the central to coastal Portuguese routes for 2 days. The quote was more than the regular cost, but was a reasonable cost, would be worth checking with them.
 
I have done the Camino Frances (in parts of 40-60 %) four times.
I just did the Camino Portuguese and wish I had done it sooner!! I loved it. On days that I gave my back a rest, I used Top Santiago and they were even better than what I used on the Camino Frances.
 
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,-
Sounds great, but @Steven F. Is looking for luggage transport on the Camino Francés in reverse.

I’ve walked from SDC in reverse in mid-winter. In mid-summer you will need to carry half that weight. After the VdlP you will be carrying the absolute minimum anyway, so probably no need for baggage transfer on the CF . . .
