Posting a parcel

[NickiH]

If I want to post a small parcel from Spain to the UK does the Post Office in Gran Alacant take it and post it or do I need to use a service like UPS or FedEx please ?
Thank you

Earlier this year I looked into this and found it cheaper to just book a suitcase and bring the item home. Mine was a bike part that could have possibly gone into my hand luggage but didn’t want to take the chance as it was a part that I couldn’t get back at home.

Thank you Sookie
How do people who live in Spain post Birthday and Christmas presents back to the UK. It’s very odd there doesn’t seem to be a proper postal system ?
Thank you for your advice. It was just a few small things I wanted to post but will probably try to get them in my hand luggage 🤞

The post office in GA does handle parcels ok, though I don't know if there is a size limit or not. A few years ago, I posted a small package back to the UK, it arrived in about a week, can't recall the postage cost now but I don't think it was excessive. Also posted a parcel within Spain, about the same size as a "small parcel" would be in UK, registered, arrived next day.

Best thing would be to call in to the PO and ask, I find the staff there helpful.
