Card shipping calculator for Correos (Spain): which service and how much
Within Spain, the cheapest Correos service that would actually pay you back is a registered letter up to about €59 of cards, a registered letter with declared value up to €150, and a Paq Estándar with declared value above that. Enter the value and the weight to see every option with its price and the most Correos would pay if it gets lost.
How each option is priced
- Ordinary letter: €0.96 standard up to 20 g, €1.15 up to 50 g. No tracking and no compensation.
- Registered letter: €5.74 / €5.93. Correos pays up to 10 times the fee; above that, declared value costs €2.75 per €50 or part of it, up to €3,000.
- Paq Ligero: €6.06 up to 250 g, tracked but with no compensation.
- Paq Estándar: €13.65 up to 1 kg; €6.67 per kg plus the fee without declaration; declared value at 1.5% (minimum €1.67) up to €6,000.
- Paquete Azul: €17.09 up to 1 kg, four times the fee in compensation plus declared value as for the registered letter.
When the cards are worth more than the basic compensation, the tool declares their full value, as in the worked examples of our shipping guide. The recommended option is the cheapest one whose maximum compensation covers that value.
Before you post it
Weigh the closed envelope with its toploader and cardboard: one or two cards usually push a letter past 20 g. Prices are for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands in 2026; the Canary Islands and shipments abroad have other rates.
