Sending Parcels to Spain: What You Need to Know

For nearly 30 years, Overland Express has been helping customers send parcels to Spain with ease and confidence. Our journey began in 1992 with our own fleet of vehicles, but as the logistics industry evolved, so did we. Today, we work exclusively with top-tier courier companies such as DHL Express and UPS to provide reliable, fast, and affordable delivery services.

Why Choose Overland Express for Deliveries to Spain?

Thanks to our strong relationships with leading courier services, we are able to secure competitive rates and pass those savings directly to you. This means you get access to premium delivery options at prices often better than those available to the general public.

While budget courier services might seem like a cost-effective choice, our experience shows they often come with longer transit times, sometimes up to a week—and less reliability. In contrast, our UPS Express Saver deliveries typically arrive within 1 to 2 working days. For context, Royal Mail usually takes 4 to 6 days, and Evri quotes up to seven working days.

Important Packaging and Insurance Information

Due to COVID-19 handling restrictions, all parcels sent to Spain must be packed in sturdy cardboard boxes. This helps ensure safe handling throughout the delivery process.

Our standard parcel delivery services includes £50.00 insurance coverage against loss or damage (unless excluded), but we also offer additional insurance coverage up to £20,000.00 for valuable shipments. Proper packaging is essential, especially for fragile or expensive items. We recommend double-boxing with bubble wrap and packing peanuts for maximum protection.

Navigating Customs Since Brexit

Since the UK's departure from the European Union, sending parcels to Spain now requires additional customs documentation. To simplify this process, our booking system automatically generates the necessary commercial invoice based on the details you provide.

Once your booking is complete, you will receive an email with the commercial invoice. Please print all three pages, place them in an envelope marked “commercial invoice”, and securely attach it to one of your parcels.

Please Note: our service covers mainland Spain and local islands only. Distant islands and Spanish overseas territories are not included.

Collection and Drop-Off Options

All UPS deliveries to Spain include collection directly from your address for your convenience. You can also opt to drop off your parcel at a local UPS collection point.

Our Reviews

Don't just take our word for it, see what other people are saying about us.

Feline Guitars has partnered with this small company for several years and consistently received excellent service and competitive pricing. Before that, we dealt directly with UPS, but found communication increasingly difficult. In an industry that's becoming more automated and impersonal, the personal attention and support offered by this team is both refreshing and greatly appreciated.







Feline Guitars

Southwell Guitars has been using Overland Express for several years to ship our instruments around the world. Unlike most major courier companies, which typically don't insure musical instruments, Overland Express offers a specialist insurance service tailored specifically for them—providing peace of mind for both my customers and myself. I also appreciate how accessible Stuart and Tim are—they're always easy to reach if I have questions or need assistance. Their support was especially valuable during the disruption caused by Brexit and the COVID pandemic. Overland Express is my go-to courier for shipping guitars, something I do regularly, and I recommend their services without hesitation.

Southwell Guitars

I've been using Overland Express for several years now to ship a significant number of both electric and acoustic guitars annually. I needed a shipping company that not only offered competitive rates but also provided insurance that would genuinely cover the full value of the instruments in the event of loss or damage. That's exactly what I found with Stuart and the team at Overland Express. They work with top-tier couriers and offer affordable insurance options for worldwide guitar shipping. In all the years I've used their service, I haven't encountered a single issue. Their service is fast, dependable, and it's a real advantage to have easy access to someone who can promptly assist if anything does come up. Highly recommended.
