I'm asking for people living in Spain, or with an address in Spain.
How do you deal with packages coming from abroad ?
Looks like it's a pain to send stuff quickly or there is something that we are missing (my folks and I).
Waiting for a package "stuck" at Correos for the last month or so...
Do they always wait for the receiver to "validate" with their ID before sending the package ?
I delt with a few people that even refuse to ship to Spain (because of this issue..?)...
What's the "deal" ...?

I don't know anything about receiving items in Spain.
But I just received LUCK cycling shoes sent from Spain to USA.
"Sent" via DHL on Thursday.
Picked up by DHL at Vitoria Spain on Friday.
Delivered to my address in USA on Monday.
I don't know about other DHL delivery instances, and other delivery providers, but that was FAST!!!!

If the package made it through customs (in some cases this took up
to 3 months!) then Correos delivers it: depending on the package
the receiver might have to show an ID. It gets even more interesting
if duties need to be paid: cash only. To pick up a package at
Correos you need the tracking number and an ID with a picture
(passport?).
The main problem I had with Correos that they too often try a delivery
and if nobody is home then they did not leave a notification -- I lost
one package that way and the "seller" didn't refund me because
"a delivery was attempted".
