Would be interested in hearing from anyone out there who does any sort of courier run between UK and Costa Blanca. We're considering buying our last few bits of small furniture and fixtures & fittings here in UK and meeting a van at the other end.

We wouldn't have enough stuff to warrant a whole van so perhaps if anyone does multiple small drops it may be more appropriate for our needs.

Please feel free to post up any recommendations for all to see. Thanks in anticipation

 End of this month, give or take a few days, we have a return trip and can do a part load no problem whatsoever.

Thanks for responding Chantelle and Rex. Trouble is as of this moment we haven't bought the things we need to transport!!!,

We've spent a lot of time on past trips over there, travelling around looking for bits and pieces, but never seeming to find something we like in the relatively short times we've been over there. Furniture shopping whilst having to entertain the kids at the same time isn't ideal.

I'm sure we'd be able to source whats required here in UK in the next month so obviously the transport cost will either make this the most viable way to do it...or esle not (i.e. if the price makes it simply not worth it).

How do you cost it? Is it purely weight, size or a combination?

We'd aim to have 4 small beside cabs (say 3 drawer lockers or maybe just even table lamps), 1 double and 2 single headboards and maybe assume a couple of boxes for small nic-nacks (say approx 60cm x 60cm x 60cm). 

I'm thinking there's just not enough gear there to make it worthwhile unless someone else is taking up the bulk of the van?

I do also have a pending project to convert a basement garage into a games room so for that could probably fill up a van with lengths of timber, plasterboards, floor tiles, adhesive etc (which all costs a fortune in spain).

I'll call  TML tomorrow Chantelle (thanks). Rex, feel free to post up (or pm me) a contact number if you wish.

Thanks again, keep em coming!!!.

Hi - I am looking for a company to bring two small boxes once a month from the UK to Spain - and no it's nothing dodgy, just my health juice that is not available in Spain yet!

All the ads I have seen for small loads specify a minimum size load and this will just be 8 bottles of juice so it is far too small.  Does anyone have any idea of a good way to do this or will I have to use a parcel delivery company?

Hi Claire - If you look on the Condado de Alhama forum on this site then you will see that  guy called Allan is regularly going back and forth.  Hopefully he will assist.
