For information, remember that post brexit, any parcels you send into Europe will be subject to customs duty and VAT. Not sure about what the sender has to do when going UK to EU but it would be best to check beforehand.
A pal of mine got a shock recently when registering a UK registered car in France. Despite it being over 5 years old and 90K miles he had to pay a 10% customs charge on their estimated value of the car plus VAT, which came to just short of 4000€.
Beware - you can't just give something an arbitrary value, you have to provide documentation as to its worth!
Your pal in Spain with the Ruby-esque could be in for a shock...
