We Make It Easy, Fast and Fully Insured - Up to £20,000.00!
For over 30 years, we've been helping customers send parcels to Spain - and we're still loving every minute of it! Back in 1992, Overland Express had its own fleet of vehicles. These days, we've evolved with the times and now work hand-in-hand with top international couriers like UPS Express and DHL to bring you the very best service at great prices.
Thanks to our strong partnerships, we can offer incredible rates on fast, reliable delivery to Spain - often better than booking direct. And yes, we're confident you'll find our DHL Express pricing hard to beat!
💸 Great Value, Without Compromise
We've tested all kinds of delivery services, and here's what we've learned: cheaper isn't always better. Budget couriers can be slow and unpredictable - taking up to a week or more. That's why we stick with trusted names like UPS, which usually gets your parcel to Spain in just 1 to 2 working days.
Compare that to:
• Royal Mail: 4 to 6 days
• Evri: Up to 7 working days
Why wait when you don't have to?
🛍️ Easy Collection or Drop-Off
• DHL and UPS collects from your home or workplace - no need to go anywhere!
• UPS gives you the option to drop off at your nearest Access Point - quick and convenient.
✍️ Stress-Free Paperwork? Yes, Please!
Sending parcels to Spain is a little different these days (thanks, Brexit!), but we've made the process as smooth as possible.
• We'll automatically create a commercial invoice based on what you enter during booking
• We even keep a list of popular commodity codes to make it quicker
• You'll get everything by email - just print all 3 pages and pop them in an envelope marked “Commercial Invoice”. Stick it to the parcel and you're good to go!
If your item isn't listed, don't worry - we'll point you to the right place to find it.
✉️ Tip: This service is for mainland Spain and nearby islands only - not distant Spanish territories.
📦 Packing Tips - Protect Your Parcel, Protect Your Peace of Mind
To keep everything safe and sound in transit:
Use a strong cardboard outer box - required for all parcels
For fragile or high-value items:
• Wrap them well in bubble wrap
• Place inside a smaller box
• Then place that box inside a second box with protective padding
And here's a great trick: print an extra copy of your parcel label and pop it inside the outer box. If the outside label ever gets lost, the courier can still deliver your parcel safely.
Proper packaging also helps if you ever need to make an insurance claim.

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.
