I'm sure I saw a board outside a shop somewhere saying they post to the UK,  would anyone know where this is and any idea how long it would take? I'm not sure how long Correos take either, any idea anyone?

Thank you ☺

When I use my local shop to send cards to the UK, they take a week, no idea about Correos sorry.

I use a local shop to post to the UK. The post is collected every morning and taken to a central depot before being taken to the airport. 

It usually costs about the same as Correos and takes about a week for delivery which is also a similar time to Correos. 

I only use the local shop as its easiest.

We always use correos, in one instance the package was delivered in 2 days, please don't give negative statements to that comment  because it did happen.

Correos in Avenida Justo Antonio Quesada on the Urb are good but only openuntil 1.30pm so Cards and More in the square next to Dos Mas is an option for all day posting.
