It certainly is easy, yes. I live on the 12th Floor and have regular deliveries. Never had a problem in 7 years. Make sure you put a detailed address.

Hello

 Shopping on Amazon.es & not UK will avoid the extra VAT & import tax payable  since Brexit.

 Always include a spanish mobile  telephone number as, if like me you live with a locked Urbanisation gate, you will need to be contacted to go out & sign/collect your parcel....Has worked for me for more than 16years.

Cheers

Depending on the size of the parcel it might be more secure if you get it sent to an Amazon Locker there are some in the Boulevard, there maybe some nearer to you though.

This forum is littered with examples where goods have not been received. Parcel delivery in Spain does seem very hit and miss. I have always received any goods i have ordered online without any problems, but there are a good many who have not been as lucky.

Hi,

    you can always use the Amazon lockers or drop off points as a alterative to having the delivery sent to your home address. We do this in Los Dolses, there are several pick points nearby and the process it works well. You just select the location you want to use when you re placing the order.

  Saves having to wait in for a delivery.

Aitch.

Except for me! Lol!

Never had a problem so far but I'm on an urbanisation not in a community or apartment.

You can have deliveries to a locker in your area if it’s a small item.
