HOLIDAY SHIPPING GUIDES
Different holidays create different shipping challenges. Use our dedicated guides to check relevant dates, courier availability, delivery planning and practical advice for each occasion.
COURIER HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
Regular courier and postal collections and deliveries are generally unavailable on public holidays observed in the relevant country, although exact operating schedules depend on the provider and service.
This can affect companies such as DHL, DPD, FedEx, GLS, UPS, and national postal operators.
Some specialised urgent services operate differently, but standard parcel services should not be assumed to run on a holiday.
Parcel lockers or automated drop-off points may remain physically accessible. However, dropping off a parcel does not mean that it will enter transit immediately; it may remain there until the courier resumes collection.

BEFORE THE HOLIDAY
Holiday closures cannot always be avoided, but many other causes of delay can.
We advise to:
Book ahead:
Do not schedule an important parcel for the final possible collection day before a holiday.
Check both countries:
A working day at the collection address may be a public holiday at the destination, or vice versa.
Pack before measuring:
Measure and weigh the parcel after it has been completely packed and sealed.
Verify the address:
Check the recipient's name, street, postcode, city and contact information before confirming the order.
Prepare the label:
If your selected service requires a printed shipping label, attach it before the courier arrives.
Check the contents:
Make sure everything inside the parcel is accepted by the chosen service and destination.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
For international shipments, holiday planning needs to account for more than the courier's own timetable.
Shipments crossing a customs border require customs clearance and the relevant supporting documentation.
Prepare the required documents before collection and allow additional time when your parcel is travelling through customs close to a holiday.
