Fast, Reliable, Fully Insured - Up to £20,000.00 Cover Available
For more than 30 years, Overland Express has been trusted by individuals and businesses to deliver parcels across Europe, with Spain being one of our most popular destinations. Since our founding in 1992, we've evolved from operating our own fleet to working exclusively with globally respected couriers like DHL Express and UPS, ensuring consistent, high-quality service.
Why We Use Only Premium Couriers
At Overland Express, we've worked with nearly every major delivery provider - and we've learned that premium couriers deliver a level of service that budget carriers simply can't match.
While budget services may appear cheaper, the reality is:
•Transit times can exceed 5 to 7 days
•Tracking is limited or unreliable
•Customer service is inconsistent or unavailable
•Insurance claims are often difficult to process
That's why we exclusively use DHL Express and UPS, offering:
•1 to 2 working day delivery to Spain
•Full parcel tracking
•Reliable customer support
•Professional handling throughout transit
Thanks to our longstanding courier partnerships and high shipping volumes, we can provide these premium services at significantly discounted rates - often more competitive than booking directly.
Enhanced Parcel Insurance - Peace of Mind for Every Shipment
We understand the importance of protecting your goods - especially when shipping high-value or sensitive items abroad. That's why we place a strong emphasis on parcel insurance as part of our core offering.
•£50 cover included as standard on all shipments (terms apply)
•Optional extended insurance up to £20,000.00, ideal for high-value electronics, luxury items, medical equipment, business inventory, and more
•Streamlined claims process for insured parcels, provided packaging requirements are met
Unlike many carriers that offer limited or unclear coverage, our enhanced insurance provides real protection with clearly defined terms, giving you and your recipients confidence at every stage of the journey.

Documentation Made Simple
Shipping to Spain now requires a commercial invoice due to post-Brexit regulations. Our system has been designed to make this process simple and automatic:
•Your invoice is generated automatically based on your booking
•We provide common commodity codes for ease of use
•All you need to do is print the three-page invoice and attach it to the parcel in a clearly marked envelope
Note: This service covers mainland Spain and local islands only - not distant Spanish territories.
Packaging Requirements for Insurance Validity
Proper packaging is essential not only for safe transit but also for the validity of any insurance claims:
•Use a strong cardboard outer box (required by all carriers)
•Fragile items should be wrapped in bubble wrap and double-boxed
•Include a duplicate shipping label inside the box to aid recovery if the exterior label is lost
Taking these precautions protects your parcel - and ensures that claims can be processed efficiently, should the need arise.

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.
