For more than 30 years, Overland Express has been helping customers send parcels to Spain with confidence. While we started in 1992 with our own fleet of vehicles, today we partner exclusively with leading courier companies like DHL Express and UPS to provide fast, reliable delivery.
Although our service descriptions may mention delivery trucks, for overseas shipments, including Spain, your parcels travel by air to ensure quick transit times.
Because we operate with low business overheads, we can offer better prices on premium courier services than many competitors. Our purchasing power with DHL and UPS allows us to access their best rates, which means those savings go directly to you. We encourage you to compare our prices, you'll find it hard to beat our value for a reliable UPS Express Saver delivery to Spain.
From experience, budget courier options tend to cost similar amounts but often come with longer delivery times up to a week—and less reliability. Our UPS Express Saver air shipments typically arrive in Spain within 1 to 2 days. For context, Royal Mail takes 4 to 6 days, while Evri quotes up to seven working days.
Due to COVID-19 handling restrictions, all parcels sent to Spain must be packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
Our standard service includes £50 cover for loss or damage, with additional insurance available up to £20,000.00 (terms apply). DHL Express parcels will be collected from your address, whilst UPS shipments can either be collected from your address or dropped off at local Access Points.
Since Brexit, customs paperwork is required for shipments to Spain. Our system simplifies this by generating the necessary commercial invoice during booking, based on your information. We also provide commodity codes for common items, or you can check the Gov.uk site for other codes.
After booking, you'll receive the commercial invoice by email. Print all three pages, place them in an envelope marked “commercial invoice”, and securely attach it to your parcel.
Our service covers mainland Spain and local islands but excludes distant islands and overseas territories.
To book your delivery, use our Quote and Book tool or get in touch at sales@overlandexpress.co.uk.

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.

That's correct, we won't be beaten on price for the like-for-like service on offer. We recommend that you read the small print of our competitors, as some offer inferior services that are dressed up as premium services.
It should take no longer than five minutes to complete an entire parcel delivery booking through our online system, with just three pages to visit until the checkout is reached. Simple and efficient with no upselling.
Our UPS and Parcel Force courier services both allow parcels to be collected from an address of your choice, up to 7 days in advance. Not going to be in? No problem, just leave your parcel at your local Post Office branch or UPS shop.
All parcel delivery services offered by Overland Express are provided with free tracking services, you can use our website or our courier partner's site to obtain up to date information as to the whereabouts of your parcel.
Parcels that contain Paint and liquid based products can be notoriously difficult to ship due to the nature of them, we have several specialist services that can be used to ship these items in limited quantities by road.
Our United Kingdom based customer support team can be contacted (during working hours) by either telephone, email or live chat which can be found on this web-site. We are one of the only courier companies to offer telephone support.
