Holiday season rush at carriers

Prepare for success

Logistics during the holiday season

Everyone knows it: ordering a gift at the last minute while carriers and drop-off points are working overtime. That's why it's great if your logistics are well-organized. The smoother everything runs, the more happy customers you'll have and the more sales will come in. Together, we ensure the holiday season runs smoothly.

  • Longer processing times
  • Risk of delays for late or incorrect shipments

What can you do now?

 

  • Deliver on time


    Check carrier websites for adjusted times and plan smartly.

  • Use the correct labels


    Do not mix parcel and letter post. Incorrect labels cause delays or returns.

  • Ensure scannable labels


    Print labels clearly and neatly, as folds or smudges disrupt the process.

  • Hand over on time


    Don't wait until the last minute. Carriers work with strict cut-offs.
