Anyone with any experience of having something shipped from Spain?

I ordered DP a signed book for his birthday. It was relatively expensive (£180) and very annoyingly it’s been sent from Spain by an Ebay seller unrecorded. It’s due by Monday so not overdue yet, and I know I’ll get my money back if it doesn’t turn up, but it’s one of a kind. There are no others for sale. Can anyone who has frequent post to Europe tell me how long it usually takes?

I don’t get stuff regularly from Spain, but every now and again I buy shoes from a Spanish store. They usually take 2 to 3 days to arrive, but that was by DHL. I suppose it depends on the courier.

Not long, but given there will be taxes and fees due that will slow it down.

Hmm. Thank you. It looks like it’s been given to Spain’s national postal service and will be handed to Royal Mail. Wish I could track it.
