Your shipment may experience delays due to unexpected obstacles, both within the Netherlands and internationally. During busy periods, such as public holidays, there may also be changes to our services. This page keeps you informed of all the latest updates.
Spring Rush: Be Prepared!
Spring is a busy season! With warmer weather, holiday bonuses, and multiple public holidays like King's Day, Ascension Day, and Pentecost, we see a significant increase in parcel volumes. This may result in a one-business-day delay in weeks with a public holiday.
To ensure your shipments arrive on time, we recommend registering and sending your parcels—especially higher volumes—in advance. Below, you’ll find an overview of the upcoming public holidays and their potential impact on our services.
Belgium:
Possible Delays Due to Strike in Belgium – March 31
A major national strike in Belgium on March 31 may cause roadblocks and industry shutdowns. DPD Belgium remains operational, but deliveries could be delayed. We are taking measures, such as rerouting via the Netherlands, and are closely monitoring the situation.
Thank you for your understanding!
