For over 30 years, Overland Express has assisted customers in sending parcels to Spain. While in 1992 we operated our own fleet of vehicles for domestic deliveries, today our focus has shifted to partnering with world-class courier services such as DHL Express and UPS.
Although Overland Express may sometimes reference the use of delivery trucks within our service descriptions, please note, that for overseas shipments - including Spain - express parcels are transported by air to ensure the fastest possible delivery times and the highest level of service.
Thanks to our purchasing power with these leading couriers, we secure their premium delivery services at rates often better than those available to the general public. We challenge you to find a more cost-effective UPS Express Saver parcel delivery service to Spain.
Our experience has shown that budget providers tend to match our prices but cannot compete on reliability or speed, with transit times often extending up to a week. In comparison, our UPS Express Saver air shipments arrive in Spain within 1 to 2 days. For reference, Royal Mail typically requires 4 to 6 days, and Evri quotes transit times of up to seven working days.
Due to COVID-19 handling requirements, all parcels sent to Spain must be packaged in sturdy cardboard boxes for their outer layer.
Our standard parcel delivery service includes £50 cover against loss or damage, with optional insurance available up to £20,000.00 (terms and exclusions apply). DHL Express and UPS shipments to Spain will be collected directly from your address, while UPS shipments also offer the flexibility of collection or drop-off at a local Access Point.
Since the UK's departure from the European Union, customs documentation requirements have become more complex. To ease this, our system automatically generates the necessary commercial invoice based on your booking details. We also maintain a list of common commodity codes to assist you; if your item is not listed, you may need to consult the Gov.uk website.
After booking, you will receive the commercial invoice via email. Please print all three pages, place them in an envelope clearly marked “commercial invoice”, and securely affix it to one of your parcels.
Please note: This service applies to mainland Spain and local islands only, excluding distant islands and overseas territories.
To arrange your delivery, please use our Quote and Book tool or contact our team via email at sales@overlandexpress.co.uk.

Don't just take our word for it, see what other people are saying about us.
Feline Guitars has partnered with this small company for several years and consistently received excellent service and competitive pricing. Before that, we dealt directly with UPS, but found communication increasingly difficult. In an industry that's becoming more automated and impersonal, the personal attention and support offered by this team is both refreshing and greatly appreciated.

Southwell Guitars has been using Overland Express for several years to ship our instruments around the world. Unlike most major courier companies, which typically don't insure musical instruments, Overland Express offers a specialist insurance service tailored specifically for them—providing peace of mind for both my customers and myself. I also appreciate how accessible Stuart and Tim are—they're always easy to reach if I have questions or need assistance. Their support was especially valuable during the disruption caused by Brexit and the COVID pandemic. Overland Express is my go-to courier for shipping guitars, something I do regularly, and I recommend their services without hesitation.

I've been using Overland Express for several years now to ship a significant number of both electric and acoustic guitars annually. I needed a shipping company that not only offered competitive rates but also provided insurance that would genuinely cover the full value of the instruments in the event of loss or damage. That's exactly what I found with Stuart and the team at Overland Express. They work with top-tier couriers and offer affordable insurance options for worldwide guitar shipping. In all the years I've used their service, I haven't encountered a single issue. Their service is fast, dependable, and it's a real advantage to have easy access to someone who can promptly assist if anything does come up. Highly recommended.
