Post is not that reliable here and if sent by courier then you have to pay duty and customs clearance .Depends on where the stuff is being sent from and the value and size.Some parcels get stopped by customs others don't

thank you i am making sure it is legal for me to still run my uk business although gaining customers in tenerife and not being registered?

If you work from Tenerife then to be legal you would have to be registered as Autonomo (self employed) at a cost of approx €270 per month and pay tax on income earned.
