DELIVERY SCHEDULE
Delivery companies and post offices work around the clock to deliver as many packages as possible before the festive days since most couriers do not collect or deliver any parcels on national or public holidays themselves. However, due to the increase in the number of shipments, the estimated delivery times may be prolonged during these periods.
When it comes to door-to-door shipment, collections work the same as delivery, but if the courier has parcel lockers or automated drop-off points, it may be possible to drop off your item during the holiday.
