β Customer Reviews
What customers say about shipping to Spain with us.
πͺπΈ Spain
Booked another door-to-door shipment to Spain through this team. The goods were packed better than expected. Pickup from the supplier was arranged quickly and customs stayed under control. Would use the same line again for general cargo.
Great DDP air parcel service to Spain. We shipped a sample batch to our Madrid distributor and the whole process was effortless β booking, pickup, transit, customs, delivery. The team noticed our commercial invoice had an incorrect country of origin and flagged it before export, saving us a potential customs hold. That kind of attention to detail is rare and valuable.
Solid option for shipping general cargo to Barcelona. Transit was within the estimated window, customs was handled cleanly, and the DDP terms meant no surprises for our customer. Communication was clear and the team responded same-day to every query. Will continue using this lane for regular orders.
We used this route for a regular replenishment to Spain. The goods were packed better than expected. The landed price stayed aligned with the quote, which helped our budgeting. Overall a reliable experience for repeat imports.
Very poor experience. The parcel was delivered to the wrong address despite having a clearly labelled consignee, and it took eleven days to recover. We were not contacted proactively β we found out because our client called us. When we raised a claim we were told the carrier had marked it as delivered and there was nothing to do. The refund process was slow and only partial. Would not recommend this channel until the last-mile partner in Spain is improved.
