Can anyone reccomend a parcel delivery company from UK to Costa Blanca - nothing illegal, imorral or fattening !!
Hello
Just be aware, that anything sent from the UK to Spain(post Brexit) is subject to VAT & Import tax in addition to normal postage. You should be notified by courier/correos of the cost ,which will be payable on collection.
Most people avoid getting items from the UK because of the charges.
Cheers

Not only the charges, but the parcel may sit in a warehouse for weeks before the addressee is notified.
There are very few things that cannot be bought here in Spain, either in shops or online.
If it's a birthday present or something, you can buy from Amazon in one country and pay through a credit card from another country.
Not worth the hassle.

It is really not worth the bother as I found our recently. I paid £45 to send a parcel from the UK to a shop in Villamartin to take delivery of it for me. I sent it on August 29th and received it back again in the UK last Monday. I tried tracking the parcel but heard nothing from the Correos at all despite my trying to contact them by phone and email. I won’t bother again.

Yes. One of the "benefits" of Brexit is now having to pay VAT and excessive import duties as well as waiting for up to 6 months for your parcel to arrive..
If you are ordering thing online, use Spanish web sites. Amazon.es has everything you need.

And if you can't find it on Amazon.es go to Amazon,de.
Just not worth the hassle of sending things from, or to, the UK.
