Please allow extra time for delivery
We are expecting unprecedented volumes over the Christmas period, please try to send your parcels as early as possible to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas.
We are still experiencing delays due to increased pressure on airline capacity and additional local measures to help prevent Covid-19 spreading – all of which impact on delivery times and result in additional delays to many overseas destinations. We are also experiencing disruption to parts of Europe due to customs delays. The latest updates can be found here: https://www.parcelforce.com/service-updates
Therefore, we strongly advise that you should allow an additional 2 – 3 days onto our Last posting Dates to Europe and allow an additional week for Rest of the World destinations.
