Transport backpack from Spain to Brussels

Hi pals! how are you?

Just finished my amazing adventure of 4 months riding the motorbike in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador;
After the jet lag has passed and the bike is coming in that slow ship to Europe, I am now back in Brussels. I want to stay here for some time.
And after the warm weather in South America, I met this freezing winter here... with summer clothes! haha

I searched for a way to send a backpack with winter clothes from my hometown in Spain (Pamplona) to Brussels, but its dammn expensive (50-80eur)
The backpack is like 50x30x20cm and about 4Kg weight.

So, please, can you help me?

- Do you know a cheap way to send it?
- Do you know someone who is coming from Spain to Brussels?
- Have you ever been in this situation? what did you do?

THANKS!!!

Hugs, Mikel

with which company did you try to ship? Shouldn't be that expensive within Europe. Just try normal mailing service (so no UPS/DHL/Whatever)
e.g. a package of 5kg from The Netherlands to Spain will cost 19,50 Euro's, with tracking.

Yes, I tried MRW, UPS, DHL, Seur and the rest. The cheapest is local post service, wich was 40-50eur; Im looking in blablacar.com so maybe somebody could take my backpack in his car.
Thanks anyway.
