First of October, I would like to send a med size wheelie bag from San Sebastian, less than 25 kg, to Ivar for holding for about 7 weeks? Best, least expensive way? Thanks!

Via Correos, the Spanish Post Office. I sent a small suitcase to him from Irun a few years ago. It cost about 22€ to mail, and arrived in Santiago in a couple of days. I received an email when it was delivered.
 
Thanks, @trecile . What I expected, but needed confirmation!
edit: AND I knew I'd seen Ivar's great Send your luggage to Santiago recently, but... ;-)
Note that Correos has a special rate for peregrinos, but I think that's only when you are mailing to the main post office in Santiago. When you are mailing to a home or business you are charged the standard rates, which still are not too high.

Thanks for that info.
 
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.

Yes, please do not use this special pilgrim rate when shipping to me. This rate does not include the bag to be transported to my address, and the post office will not inform me that I have a parcel waiting at the post office...

The special pilgrim rate should only be used if you would like to pick up your parcel at the Santiago Post office.

I sent a medium size suitcase to Ivar from San Sebastián in May this year through the post office. I used the instructions provided by Ivar. Went without a hitch and cost 28€.
