Sending and receiving packages – Hints & Tips!

Reliable Companies Between Canada/U.S.A and Spain
 
shippingFor those of you looking to send and receive things from the United States or Canada, remember that if you are flying it is often cheaper to pay for an extra bag on the plane than to ship things. Bolsas prepagados, or prepaid bags, are available for shipment as an alternative to boxes, and often arrive in North America in much better condition than boxes. If you choose to certify your shipment (certificado) for about 5 euros more, you’re in less danger of things getting lost. Here are some good services to check out before sending your things:
 
CangoBox: Very reliable service at very competitive prices
Packlink: A way to compare options before picking a courier service
Parcel2go: Another parcel delivery comparison website
Pharos Parcel Delivery: These guys will pick up your package for you!
Sendmybag: A good option for sending big bags or suitcases
UPS: A reliable service
Citibox España: These guys are the only FedEx dropcenters in Spain
Transglobalexpress: Though it’s a UK based company they deliver all over the world
*If you’re sending or receiving things from Latin America, your options are unfortunately more limited. FedEx and UPS are your best bets, and DHL is always an option if you don’t mind their prices. If you’re sending to or from Mexico, you can use Transglobalexpress too!
