Sending spare bag forward

[MargLav]

From other threads, I notice Express Burricot have a service to send your spare luggage from SJPdP direct to Santiago for 70 Euros for up to 20kg - sent to Hostal La Salle in Santiago for collection. Can anyone tell me if there may still be Spanish customs issues with this service which I have read on other posts? Does 70 Euros sound fair in comparison to using say the post office services and sending luggage to Ivar for storage? I expect our spare bag might be 5 - 10 kgs maximum. We will also have an opportunity in San Sebastian to send it on within Spain - avoiding any custom issues (using what service though??) before we head to SJPdP to commence our camino.Thanks in advance

Also Ivar, who hosts this site has a luggage storage service in Santiago. Here's more information, including mailing from France. There is also a post on this thread that gives good information for mailing luggage to Santiago.

For ease and cost I'd send to Ivar from San Sebastian's post office. With your weight listing above the cost to ship and store in SDC will be cheaper and if you email Ivar a few days prior to arrival he'll even arrange to have your bag at your hostel, assuming that one is in the old city. Buen Camino!

I've used Ivars storage twice. 20-25 euros for a large duffle bag. I will be sending a bag to him again in a couple weeks! It's such a treat to arrive in Santiago and have fresh clothes waiting!

Is that the cost to send it to Ivar or the storage cost? Which service do you use to send it to Ivar? Thanks!
