Fast Delivery, Up to £20,000.00 Insurance, and Service You Can Rely On
Spain is a land of passion, colour, and tradition - from the vibrant rhythms of flamenco to the timeless architecture of Gaudí, and from sun-drenched coastlines to bustling street markets. Whether you're sending a thoughtful gift to a loved one or shipping important goods for your business, we understand that every parcel is a connection to something meaningful.
That's why Overland Express has been helping customers send items to Spain for over 30 years - with care, precision, and a deep respect for the importance of each delivery.
🇪🇸 Our Story: From London to La Rioja
We started in 1992 with our own fleet of delivery vehicles, but just like Spain's dynamic culture, we've evolved. Today, we work exclusively with world-class couriers like DHL Express and UPS - trusted names that ensure your parcels reach their destination in 1 to 2 working days.
We use our buying power to offer better rates than the public can usually access - so you get premium service without the premium price tag.
💡 Why We Don't Use Budget Couriers
Spain is a country of efficiency wrapped in charm - but when it comes to delivery, there's no room for delays or uncertainty.
That's why we only work with proven, premium couriers. Budget providers may appear cost-effective, but their reliability often doesn't match the price. Transit times can stretch to a week or more, and customer support is typically minimal.
In contrast, our UPS Express Saver service is both swift and dependable, often at similar or even lower prices than budget options. You benefit from:
•Fast, tracked delivery (1 to 2 working days)
•Full courier accountability
•Flexible collection and drop-off options
•Real people on hand to help
Because when you're sending something important — whether it's a handmade gift from Granada or business samples to Barcelona - nothing less than reliable will do.
🔐 Insurance Included - and Extended Cover Available
All parcels are covered for £50 as standard (terms apply), with the option to upgrade to £20,000.00 of insurance for high-value shipments.
You take care of what you send - and we take care of the rest
📝 Customs Documentation: Made Simple
Shipping to Spain post-Brexit means a commercial invoice is required. But don't worry - we've simplified the process.
•Our system automatically generates your customs invoice based on your booking
•We maintain a list of frequently used commodity codes to assist with correct classification
•You'll receive the documents by email - just print all 3 pages, place them in an envelope marked “Commercial Invoice“, and attach it to your parcel
This service applies to mainland Spain and nearby islands only - not to Spain's distant overseas territories.
📦 Cultural Care for Packaging
Just as Spain is known for its attention to detail - from carefully tiled mosaics to intricately embroidered textiles - we encourage you to pack your parcel with care:
•Use a sturdy cardboard box as required
•Wrap items in bubble wrap and consider double-boxing fragile or valuable goods
•Place a second copy of your shipping label inside the box, in case the outer label is lost
Our packaging advice not only helps ensure safe delivery - it also supports insurance eligibility.

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.
