Shipping items to the Albergue

Has anyone ever shipped a package containing trekking poles, pocket knife and other items that can’t be included in carry on luggage to a booked albergue in SJPdP?
Have you heard of this being done? I don’t want to check my pack because of a quick plane change in Paris. Also don’t want to have to buy new items on arrival. Is there a service that offers this?
 
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,-
If not the auberge then how about Poste Restante to the post office in SJPP?

1 RUE DE LA POSTE, 64220, ST JEAN PIED DE PORT, FRANCE.
 
The general advice is never to ship anything from outside the EU to inside the EU (because nasty customs complications are likely) and try to avoid shipping anything across borders using the postal system (because of good chances of delays.)
 
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.
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
If you are shipping from outside the EC then your stuff will end up in customs. Possibly forever.... Retrieval will be a amusing introduction to French bureaucracy.

If you have booked a through flight your luggage and your connection are the airlines problem, not yours.
