Hi does anyone know if there are places in Albatera where I can have large parcels delivered to as we live on the campo the delivery companies don’t tend to come here and our PO Box is far to small .. any help is appreciated .. thanks

Try Eurosend ,anything from a suitcase to a euro pallet (or multiples of), cheapest and quickest we have used,).

Will probably deliver to door with satnav details as the final driver is local normally.

Used them from Almoradi to Belfast,no problems,progress reports in english.

Easy site to navigate ,pay by paypal.

Thanks the company I would be ordering from offer delivery but I’m not sure if they would come to campo so it’s more a case of if they won’t meet me somewhere is there any companies in town that take deliveries in for a fee

Hi,

In my experience most deliveries can be made direct to your house no matter where you live,basically if you get post you get deliveries.

DHL have depots in most towns,Eurosender use various carriers ,I think they utilise empty space on all carriers.

I would get your postal address with post code (normally this is the nearest town with a postal depot) and go on the Euro sender site and speak to someone,I found them very good and cheapest (by a campo mile!).

I tried all carriers over the years ,DHL are very good and deliver "ebay and amazon" ,we lived in initially in a remote house in the Pinoso area and always had good deliveries,( be aware DHL is a german firm,you pay for quality).

To finish...Eurosender were the best,when leaving we packed all the stuff we wantwd onto 2 euro pallets with clingfilm,got them picked up from a friends house,at that time we lived in a flat and didnt want to leave them in the street,travelled home to uk,pallets arrived three days later to the door.

Save money by not moving all your furniture,it will not suit in spain,your house will just be cluttered,been there dobe it!

Good luck !

Hello Linda, we live in the Albatera Campo and we have found that most couriers ring us and ask to meet at Mercadona, no matter if they have GPS and detailed directions, they just can't seem to be bothered. Alternatively, if the site you are ordering from allows it, you can always give your buzon number with the main post office address as they will take delivery for you.

PA system,no problem,Gomez (behind the Tien 21 ) in Almoradi main street.

They do all PA requirements,lights ,stands and all accessories,plus do repairs on site,plus Manuel ,speaks English.

Used them for years.

Or if you are "well heeled" Almoradi also has a Bose shop just off the main square.

I used to look in the shop window and drool.
