What is the best way to transport large, heavy or valuable goods to and from Spain?

Senders have several options when it comes to making international deliveries, each with their pros and cons...

For those who live in Spain for all or part of the year and those who have family and loved ones in Spain, occasionally sending items such as parcels overseas can be a semi-regular occurrence.

The question is, how can you send packages internationally in the safest and most cost-effective way possible?

There are several options available if you wish to send something heavy or bulky to Spain, or if you need to transport large items like furniture or vehicles from Spain to another country.

1. Go to the post office

The first port of call for many would be the post office, that bastion of the public sector that is a beloved institution in many places. In Spain, post offices are called ‘Oficinas de Correos’ and the branding is an unmissable bright yellow colour. Using Correos postal services may be a traditional way to go if you want to send letters or postcards, and it is a useful place to go to be able to pick up any deliveries that have been sent to you, but it is not necessarily the cheapest way when sending larger, heavier items.

2. Choose a private courier

In many cases, private courier services will be able to offer more specialised packaging and delivery for you. When it comes to parcels and packages, they can charge you competitive rates based on the dimensions and/or weight of the item or items to be sent. Be sure to browse different websites to compare prices before settling on one.

3. Try Facebook or private individuals

Another option is to search for private individuals who will take your large goods across international borders for you. This may be someone you know or a ‘white van man’ you come across on Facebook who happens to be going that way and has some spare room in the back for your delivery. There are even websites dedicated to offering cut-price rates on space in empty freight haulers which need to return to their point of origin. These alternatives can be much cheaper than using postal or courier services, but have the drawback that they are not always professionally assured and insured. If you do not trust the potential delivery driver 100%, it’s best not to risk sending your precious cargo with them.

4. Use a professional relocation company

Perhaps the best and safest way to ensure your valuable belongings arrive at their destination on time and in one piece is with an overseas moving company like Global International Relocation Services, which specialises in delicate deliveries and removals of valuable pieces. They are set up to handle large goods of all shapes, sizes and weights.

This way of sending goods abroad is most suitable if you need to move several large items, such as when you are moving house, but Global also have flexible delivery options to cater for all their clients’ needs. They have experience handling all sorts of goods, and have successfully transported everything from cars to grand pianos to antiques.
