At Overland Express, sending a parcel to Spain isn't just about moving objects. It's about movement with meaning - a brushstroke across borders, a message in motion, a fragment of your world carried safely into another.
Since 1992, we've helped artists, dreamers, and everyday creators send their treasures abroad. Now, in partnership with DHL Express and UPS, we offer delivery that's not only reliable, but crafted with care, and backed by insurance up to £20,000.00.
Because sometimes, what's inside the box is more than just an item - it's part of your story.
✨ The Art of Choosing the Right Courier
🎭 Exceptional, Yet Accessible
We've forged strong connections with premium couriers to offer world class service at community friendly prices - because great delivery shouldn't be an exclusive gallery piece.
🕊️ Fast as Inspiration
While budget couriers wander and delay, our UPS Express Saver service delivers to Spain in 1 to 2 working days — swift enough for deadlines, delicate enough for gifts.
🎻 Reliability in Every Movement
Budget couriers may promise the world, but they often deliver a mess. With us, every shipment is a symphony - composed, consistent, and on time.
🖼️ Your Work, Protected
Standard cover up to £50, and for pieces that matter most - insurance up to £20,000.00. Because not all value is visible.
🎨 Your Choice: Collected or Dropped Off
• All UPS Services: Collection from your studio, shop, or front door
• All UPS Services: Local drop-off, so you stay in your creative flow
🌍 Sending to Spain - The Post-Brexit Canvas
Like any great work, international shipping now requires a little more prep - but we've designed the process with the artist in mind.
📝 Commercial Invoice: Created for You
During booking, we automatically generate the required paperwork - no forms, no confusion, just clarity.
🎨 Commodity Codes - Like Colour Palettes for Customs
We provide a curated list of common items. For something more unique, Gov.uk has the full palette.
📦 Labelling as an Act of Intention
Print the three-page invoice, place it in an envelope marked “Commercial Invoice” , and affix it to your parcel - a seal of passage on your outward bound piece.
🌊 Note: This delivery services reaches mainland Spain and local islands only - not far-flung islets or distant territories.
🧵 Packaging as a Craft
We believe packing is an art form - part sculpture, part shield.
Here's how to wrap your parcel like a curator wraps a masterpiece:
• Use a rigid, cardboard outer box (required due to modern hygiene protocols)
• For valuable or fragile items:
•Wrap in bubble wrap, nestle into a smaller inner box
•Wrap that inner box, and place it in a larger box with packing peanuts or foam
• Include a second copy of the shipping label inside the parcel, just in case the outside label gets lost in transit
This careful approach isn't just best practice - it's part of our enhanced insurance policy. Proof of thoughtful packing strengthens any claim, should the unexpected occur.

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.
