Exceptional Customer Support. Trusted Global Carriers. Insurance up to £20,000.00
At Overland Express, we've been supporting customers with their parcel deliveries to Spain for more than 30 years. Since 1992, we've built our reputation on dependability, care, and personal service — qualities that still define everything we do today.
While we no longer operate our own fleet of vehicles, we now partner exclusively with trusted global couriers like DHL Express and UPS, allowing us to provide you with fast, secure delivery at excellent prices - backed by a service team who are here to help at every step.

If you have questions before, during, or after sending your parcel, our experienced UK-based team is ready to help.
Reach us by email at sales@overlandexpress.co.uk - we respond promptly and professionally.

Sending a Parcel to Spain: What to Know
Since the UK left the European Union, customs documentation is now required for parcels sent to Spain.
Our system will automatically create a commercial invoice during your booking, based on the details you provide. You'll receive this by email after checkout.
What to do:
• Print all three pages of the invoice
• Place them in an envelope clearly marked “Commercial Invoice”
• Attach the envelope securely to the outside of your parcel
Need help? Just get in touch — our team is happy to assist.
Note: This service is available to mainland Spain and local islands only. It does not cover distant or overseas Spanish territories.
Proper Packaging: Protecting Your Parcel
To meet courier and insurance guidelines:
• Always use a sturdy cardboard outer box
• For fragile or valuable items:
• Wrap the item in bubble wrap
• Place it in a smaller internal box
• Pack that box inside a larger outer box, cushioned with foam or packing peanuts
• Place a spare shipping label inside the parcel in case the outer label becomes detached
We're happy to advise on packaging if needed - just ask.

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.
