What to do with my computer?

[ratyoke]

I know half of you just answered "Leave it at home" after seeing the title of this thread.

I don't need my computer on the camino, but I will continue traveling after the camino for several months and I will need my computer then. Any suggestions about what to do with it while on the camino? I was thinking of sending it via Fed Ex to Ivar's luggage storage service. Would this be safe? Are there any other options?

If it were me I would just send it to Ivar. I'm sure it will be in good hands. The only caveat would be the internal battery. You may have to check on the shipping requirements of hazardous materials . I'm sure fed ex will be able to steer you inn the right direction. I would also check with Ivar . I assume you are talking about a lap top and not a full fledged desk top with a 27 in. Monitor.

Make sure you ship it to Ivar WHEN you reach Spain and not from home as you are outside the EU, otherwise Ivar will be asked to pay import duty on the value of the computer.
Buen Camino.

I think that you maybe need to check out the law regarding postage of certain items from both outside and inside Spain. Certain items are banned and the computer might be included because of having a lithium battery. From within Spain it might be allowed, but need the contents declaring. This is in addition to the import/customs issues mentioned. (Our UK post office has a list of both declarable and banned items which I saw this morning)

Hi, I would say send it to Ivar.
Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
