Shipping from Spain to other EU-coun...

Hola those of you living in Spain!

What would be the best means of getting a parcel from Spain to Germany (or any other EU country)?
Say, for example, I was to buy a painting at a local fair, how would I get it home?
Do department stores like Corte Ingles ship things?
I gather Spanish postal services are

I'd use UPS.

as long as it's not being shipped by flamenco-world you're probably ok....

yeah, i realise you are talking about sending something back yourself while you are there, but just based on what mail orders from Spain use might give you an idea.

Deflamenco orders used to arrive by DHL (courier) here in UK in under a week, but i thought they actually shipped from Spain with Correos. Maybe they used a courier in Spain too.

Now orders from them arrive here by Royal Mail (normal post), and get here in a week or two, and I'm pretty sure they are using Correos in Spain. I guess this is keeping shipping costs down, and is reliable if not super fast.

i recently had stuff from Elflamencovive and it arrived by Fed-Ex in just a few days (like Deflamenco used to) but the shipping charges were expensive.

obviously stuff from flamenco-world doesn't arrive at all, but that's 'cos they're not actually using any postal service!

Hi Ed

I use mailboxes (Which use mostly UPS)
Its difficult to give you an advice not knowing what you want to ship. Just remember that ALL companies are working under an enormous pressure and that ALL have had incidents in the past. I dont think Spain is very much different from other countries when it comes to ship out of the country and when I buy things here and have them shipped with currier srvice, it works very well. Another thing is how my local correos office works.......
