Affordable Courier Services to Spain with up to £20,000.00 Insurance

For over 30 years, Overland Express has helped customers send parcels to Spain. Established in 1992 with our own fleet of vehicles, we've since evolved to partner exclusively with industry leaders like DHL Express and UPS.

Thanks to our buying power, we secure premium delivery services at discounted rates often lower than what the public can access directly. In fact, we challenge you to find a cheaper UPS Express Saver delivery to Spain than ours.

Our experience shows that budget couriers can be unreliable, with transit times of up to a week, similar in cost but inferior in service. In contrast, our UPS Express Saver deliveries typically arrive in just 1 to 2 days. For comparison:

•  Royal Mail: 4 - 6 days
•  Evri: Up to 7 working days

Note: Parcels must be packed in a cardboard box due to current COVID-19 handling protocols.

Insurance and Collection Options

All shipments include £50.00 cover for loss or damage as standard (unless excluded), with optional enhanced insurance available up to £20,000.00 (conditions apply).

•  UPS Express Saver: Collection from your address or drop off at a local collection point
•  UPS European Road: Collection from your address or drop off at a local collection point

Sending Parcels to Spain Post Brexit

Since the UK's departure from the EU, shipping to Spain requires a commercial invoice. We simplify this with an automated system that generates the invoice during booking. We also offer a selection of common commodity codes if your item isn't listed, you may need to consult the Gov.uk website.

Once you've booked, you'll receive a commercial invoice by email. Print all three pages, place them in an envelope marked “Commercial Invoice”, and tape it securely to one of your parcels.

Service Area: Mainland Spain and local islands only (excludes remote islands and Spanish overseas territories).

How to Book

Use our Quote and Book tool above to get started. For enquiries, email us at sales@overlandexpress.co.uk.

We've included delivery time estimates to various Spanish destinations in the tables below for your reference.

Once you complete the booking process, you will receive an email containing the commercial invoice, which you must print all three pages of and attach them to the exterior of one of the parcels that you are sending. It's best practice to place this document in an envelope and clearly write "commercial invoice" on it, then Sellotape it to the parcel.

This service is for parcel delivery to mainland Spain and local islands only. It does not cover distant islands or Spanish overseas territories.

To summarise, Overland Express has been in the parcel delivery industry for more than 30 years, and we partner with top tier courier industry names such as DHL Express and UPS. Through our purchasing power, we offer their best delivery services at better rates than the general public can obtain directly.

We have extensive experience with most courier delivery services and have found that budget providers are usually unreliable, and their transit times can take up to a week to arrive. When you send a parcel to Spain, a cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.

Our parcel delivery services include £50.00 of cover against loss or damage (unless specifically excluded), and additional insurance is available up to £20,000.00 (exclusions apply). We have developed a system to automatically produce the required commercial invoice for sending parcels to Spain since the UK officially departed from the EU.

Packing Advice for Shipping to Spain

When sending valuable or fragile items, we recommend double boxing:

1.  Wrap the item in bubble wrap and place it in an inner box
2.  Wrap that inner box again and place it inside a larger outer box, using packing peanuts for added protection.

Also, include a second copy of the shipping label inside the parcel. If the original label becomes detached, this allows the courier to identify the intended recipient.

While double boxing or using extra packaging material may slightly increase the parcel's volumetric size and cost, it's strongly recommended, especially if you're using our enhanced insurance cover. In the event of a claim, insurers will request proof that proper packaging precautions were taken.
