Hi Steve

There are companies doing this, take a look at bexpresscourier (dotcom)

whether or not there is scope for more is uncertain, its a good idea as the Spanish Postal Service can be somewhat "irregular" at times

Anyway best of luck

As an online shopping company we spent a lot of time reseraching courier companies when we first started out. There are quite a few of them out here but their charges were high and so in the end we decided to use the Spanish correos system which offers a 24 hour courier service as one of their options. On the whole we are happy enough with this service but  are always on the look out for new courier options as there have been one or two occassions when they have turned up a lot later than promised!  If you can offer a cheaper courier service than the existing companies then there is def scope for more competitive courier companies.

Hi

Thanks for your respones, it seems this idea warrents more reaserch.

We deliver throughout mainland Spain and the Islands if we have orders. We've also sent products to the UK, Ireland and had enquiries from Turkey and Africa. So far we've used correos but do have one other courier company lined up in case there is something that needs urgent delivery or is particularly heavy etc .... on the whole our International deliveries tend to be specified as taking up to 14 days rather than 24 hour.

i run a small transport business based in the UK. I always have drivers in and out of spain some looking for loads back to the uk should anyone feel the need to send goods back to the UK or need goods delivering to spain. contacy me with some details and i will see if i can help..
