Hello, we are leaving Spain on Friday to go to Italy for about 2 months, and need to ship our summer clothing home, plus all of the gifts we have bought since we have been here. We could bring everything with us, but would then pay a bundle in excess bagggage fees as we are flying from Seville to Italy. We have looked into the various options, and Correos seems to be the cheapest (via international priority, which is by plane and takes about 2 weeks). I am leery of sending via Correos since they don?t seem to have a very good reputation. In addition, the package is only covered by a limited guarantee, which won?t even come close to the value of the package. UPS is much better, but much more expensive.
I would be interested to hear what others have experienced in sending packages to the US from Spain. Have things gotten lost or destroyed, or have you not had any problems? I am not as concerned about how long it takes, since we won?t even return to the US until December, but more about the package being lost or damaged and not being able to recoup for it.
Thanks!
