Ivar, I used your service in 2017 from Pamplona and it was so great and gave me such peace of mind. You emailed me when my box arrived and you kept it until I arrived and we arranged for it to be dropped off at my hotel in Old Town. I used Correros to ship the box from Pamplona and I was appreciative that the woman who helped me assemble the medium size box at the post office knew you and your address and helped me fill out the paperwork correctly. Thank you for all that you do for pilgrims all over the world. It is appreciated.
A great service thank you Ivar. Can I just add that we shipped an entire suitcase in 2013 from Pamplona and as you mentioned, it had to be wrapped in cling wrap - it seemed an odd thing to do but that is what the postal office required. Our hotel kindly let us use the huge kitchen roll of cling wrap that they had to wrap it. We attached a huge address label to both the front and back of the suitcase and this was protected by the layers of cling wrap. However, there was a strict limit of 20kg - they would NOT handle anything heavier. Things may have changed since then. This service allowed us to travel onwards for several weeks after completing the Camino. Buen Camino from DownUnder
Hi Ivar, We used your service Sept 18 and were extremely happy with your service and really appreciated your care and attention. We let you know a couple of days out of SDC and when we arrived at our hotel our luggage was in our romm" Brilliant" worth every bit of your fee. Will use you again on our next Camino. Thanks Again Pete & Deb Dyt Pert Western Aus
Ive used you a number of times and always beyond happy. Thank you. I’ve posted a link to this video on my local chapter of Canadian Company of Pilgrims. Hope to see you sooner then later Dean
Thank you Ivar for your very informative video. I’m sure it’ll be helpful for Pilgrims like me. I’m planning to do the Camino in May starting in SJPP. Your service will be considered in my trip. Muchas Gracias.
Thanks Ivar, I will be sending a box in May and originally I was going to send it from Bayonne but I will have some time and plan to go to San Sebastián and Bilbao so I will take your advice and try to send it from one of those cities.
many thanks, Ivar! great information...I wish I had this in 2016, but will keep it in mind for when we hope to arrive in late September, 2022. We will definitely come by at the very least to say hello and thank you for all of the service you provide for pilgrims! What would be the best way to do that??? many blessings!
Just come by Casa Ivar during the week (10.00 to 14.00). Most of the times I am here during these hours. (Iria me help this year will be here for sure).
Hi Ivar, thanks for this helpful video. We will start our Camino from Sarria on Oct 21, 2023. If we send our suitcase from Sarria on Oct 20, will it reach your address by Oct 25 when we arrive at Santiago? I appreciate your response.
Ivar, I will walk from Porto & transfer my bag daily, but once in Santiago, I want to store my bag and just take my smaller pack for the Ferrol to Santiago walk (6 days) and also for 2-3 days from Finisterre to Muxia then bus back to Santiago. Bottom line: I will not be shipping - I will be delivering in person. Would I just show up at your place during your open hours to deliver? Do I still need to wrap everything, or can I just hand over my rolling duffel bag? Thank you. (Hope I don't have to wrap it up.) I would make sure all my contact information is attached to the bag. Mary
In the address you provided, there is no postal zip code. Does Spain not have postal codes? And how do we give you our email address so that you will let us know when you have received our luggage? Thank you!
The address has a postal code, here is the address: Casa Ivar ATT: [Your name goes here] Travesia da Universidad 1 15704 Santiago de Compostela A Coruña España Write your email address on the parcel. Buen camino!

I remember using your service in 2014. It was fab! Easy to find you and very reasonable price 😀
Hello Ivar, again another timely video as I have been contemplating perhaps using your luggage storage services. Thank you.

It should take 2-3 business days so it should be fine. Buen camino!

No need to wrap it. Just show up during opening hours. 👍

Instead of shipping may bag, can I just walk it in? I will be spending a night in Santiago before starting the Ingles. Thx
Yes, feel to drop it off during our hours.. :-)
What would be the best procedure to ship from SJPP?
Here are some alternatives. The thread is from a few years ago, but I think it is still valid:
www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/i-am-arriving-at-sjpp-with-my-suitcase-how-do-i-ship-it-to-santiago.45855/
Was concerned if there could be any custom issues.
No, both France and Spain are in the EU so no customs... :-)
@@Ivar tusen takk!
