I used Correos for my passport on the 2nd October was delivered in the uk on the 6th October price 6.75€. Was also able to track it. Great service.

Great thanks As we're flying back tomorrow think we'll do it in France - but good to know for throat future when we're staying here longer!

Lucky you ! As with anything in Spain it's hit and miss. Twice I've sent important documents by Correos and it has taken 2 weeks or more and not been tracked. Just says online "In transit" Our neighbour waited 3 weeks for a tracked letter from UK to Spain with his debit card in it. It was nearly 2 weeks delayed in Madrid. I wouldn't post anything like that again with Correos !

Thanks we've got enough hassle back in France with the French postal service without having the hassle of something gobe apologies between them & correos. Even mail forwarding here seems to be hit and miss: cancel forwarding week before we leave and 3 months later when we get back there's the mail from France! Definitely not the best for important things! Thanks!
