Important changes and new developments in national and international shipments of goods
The store has undertaken a major restructuring shipping services, demanded by the tariff policies implemented by the United States in recent months and the entry into force of new regulations developed by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), which require the use of parcel services for shipping goods to Europe and abroad.
For these reasons, the website has disabled the international registered letter option, a product that remains available only for Spain, and has added new logistics providers for the Iberian Peninsula, Europe, and worldwide routes. It has also updated some of the services already available for international shipments, such as the Correos international parcel service (now called Standard), which expands its delivery zones and modifies some coverage areas.
El Coleccionista Ecléctico, in its ongoing effort to improve the conditions offered to its customers, has recently signed collaboration agreements with Correos Express, Zeleris, and DHL. These partnerships, in addition to Correos España and Seur, provide a wide range of shipping options, considering destinations, delivery times, prices, and security.
Customers now have two postal options (certified letter and blue parcel), with or without comprehensive insurance up to €1,000, and four express options within Spain. Two of these express options offer the possibility of purchasing full coverage against loss or damage (Correos Express up to €3,000 and DHL Iberia up to €500). Competitive air and road freight rates are also available for Europe, with Zeleris Worldwide Air and DHL Ground Europe (with or without insurance up to €500). Furthermore, new international options to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania further reduce shipping costs for online shoppers.
Finally, there is the option to purchase additional insurance for international destinations, not included in the shopping cart, via an expedited service. However, it is necessary to inquire afterward, as availability depends on the product purchased—many collectible items are not covered by comprehensive insurance—its price, and the recipient's country.
Regarding cash on delivery, there are no significant changes, and the options of managing shipments to Spain by Spanish Postal Service or Seur Express service are remain available.
To conclude, and in reference to the recent customs restrictions affecting shipments to the United States, the store recommends that residents of the country check the applicable taxes and duties before completing their purchase on the platform. Based on our personal experience, we advise opting for the Standard international package offered by the Spanish postal service, as it typically experiences fewer issues and delays than services managed by express courier companies, which are subject to stricter requirements.
We hope that these new features will be well received by our customers and will help to lower the price of transport and make it accessible to any user, regardless of their place of residence.
