Hi, my name is sinder and my partner steve. We have bought an apartment in san miguel. We are still working so we can only come to spain a week at a time. Does anyone know if Amazon or ebay deliveries can be received in spain? Thank you/

Absolutely but how deliveries are accomplished very much depends on exactly where you live and whether the postal service - or couriers - can (or will) deliver there and that's by no means a given.

Although I can get mail and courier items delivered to my address for the latter it would generally mean a driver phoning me for directions which clearly could be a problem if there is nobody at home so for  certainty I have a post office box where I have all deliveries directed and I've had no problems with that whatsoever. The address for that is preceeded with 'Oficine de Correos' which my post office told me gives them the authority to receive packages on my behalf even those which require signing for. 

One point worth noting though. If buying on eBay UK and the delivery is via eBays 3rd party Global Delivery System then it will arrive by courier at your given address and clearly you or someone needs to be there to receive and sign for it. 

Personally I completely avoid buying items for which sellers use that method of dispatch as not only is it ridiculously expensive but it also stretches delivery time by a factor of anything between 3 and 10x!

Hi

You need to have an postbox at Postat Total for to receive packages from Amazon or ebay.

Spanish post (Correo) do not deliver packages from ebay or Amazon or Alibaba. 

I have experience from this now for over one year and it works perfect. But they bring the packages to total postal.

Well

They do not deliver items from Ebay, Amazon or Alibaba.

Just have an account at Total Postage and your problems are solved. Do not rely on Spanish Correo!!!

You will be so, so , so ,so disappointed.

Hi.

There are Amazon lockers at Quesada, just through the arches by the petrol station, but the lockers do not take large items.
