Parcel travelling from Spain to the rest of the world

Many of the best Spanish shops only deliver inside Spain. Spain parcel forwarding removes that barrier: you get a Spanish delivery address, shop as if you lived there, and your parcels are forwarded to you wherever you are.

How Spain parcel forwarding works

  1. Create an account and get your personal Spanish address.
  2. Shop online at any Spanish store and use that address at checkout.
  3. We receive and check every parcel when it arrives at the warehouse.
  4. Consolidate several parcels into one box if you want to save on shipping.
  5. Choose a courier and ship internationally to your door.

You can try the whole process with a free account: get your Spanish address.

When parcel forwarding pays off

Forwarding is especially useful when:

  • The shop does not ship to your country, or charges very high international fees.
  • You are buying from several shops and want a single shipment.
  • You resell products and need to move stock out of Spain regularly.
  • You live abroad and want Spanish products delivered home.

What affects the final price

The cost of forwarding depends on the weight and size of the final box, the destination country and the courier you choose. Remember that couriers charge by the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so repacking into a smaller box can save money. Read our guide on how to calculate international postage to see how.
