At Overland Express, we've been helping people send parcels to Spain since 1992- back when mobile phones were bricks and couriers used paper maps. A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to fast, reliable, and affordable delivery hasn't.
We now partner with top tier couriers like DHL Express and UPS, so you get premium delivery services without the premium price tag. Oh, and did we mention you can insure your parcel up to £20,000.00? That's right - your parcel will be better protected than most smartphones.
Why Choose Us to Deliver Your Parcel to Spain?
✅ Premium Couriers, Budget Prices
Thanks to our long-standing partnerships (and charm), we've secured exclusive rates with DHL and UPS - and we pass those savings straight on to you.
✅ Fast Like, Really Fast
Our DHL Express service delivers to Spain in just 1 to 2 working days. That's quicker than most of us can pack.
✅ No Budget Couriers Here
We've tried them all - and let's just say, we wouldn't trust them with a postcard. We only use reliable, fully tracked services.
✅ Insure It Like You Mean It
Every shipment includes £50.00 of cover (standard), with optional upgrades all the way to £20,000.00 -
just in case you're sending something that costs more than your car.
✅ Collection or Drop-Off - Your Call
• All UPS Services: will knock on your door to collect
• All UPS Services: lets you drop off at your nearest pickup point (perfect if you'd rather avoid answering the door in your dressing gown)
What's the Catch with Post-Brexit Shipping to Spain?
Good news: we've made it as painless as possible. Yes, parcels to Spain now need customs documentation, but we've automated the entire process - so no confusing forms or head scratching required.
✔️ Automatic Commercial Invoice
Just fill in your details during booking, and we'll generate the invoice for you.
✔️ Commodity Codes - Preloaded for Your Convenience
We've listed the most common codes. If your item is a little more niche (like antique bagpipes), head over to Gov.uk to find the right one.
✔️ Label it Right
Print all 3 pages of the commercial invoice, pop them in an envelope marked “Commercial Invoice”, and tape it to your parcel like a pro.
📦 Note: This service covers mainland Spain and local islands only - we're not quite set up to reach the top of Mount Teide or a remote fishing hut in the Canary Islands (at least on this service).
Parcel Packing 101 (or: How to Avoid a Claims Nightmare)
Some friendly advice: when it comes to packaging, bubble wrap is your best friend.
• Use a sturdy cardboard outer box - mandatory for hygiene reasons (thanks, COVID)
• Double-box fragile or high-value items
•Wrap the item in bubble wrap
•Place in a smaller box
•Wrap that, then place in a bigger box filled with packing peanuts
• Include a backup label inside the box - just in case the outer one decides to go on its own adventure
This small extra effort can help protect your goods and satisfy insurers if you ever need to make a claim. Plus, it's oddly satisfying to do.

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.

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.

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.
