It is possible that during the shipment of the parcels unexpected obstacles occure that cause delays, within the Netherlands or outside the Netherlands. Even during busy periods, there may be special circumstances that we would like to inform you about. So always consult this page. It is updated daily so you will always be up to date.

Maintenance CIS-tool this weekend

Maintenance CIS-tool this weekend

On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 January, we will carry out maintenance on our CIS tool. This tool ensures that customers who have requested it receive status information about their shipments. This includes:

  • Status data: updates on the progress of shipments.
  • Collection request status data (CR): information on shipments being collected from customers.
  • Delivery receipts (POD): the signature for receipt.

During maintenance, the delivery of this data via the sFTP server may sometimes be slightly delayed. For example, data from the morning may not be available until the afternoon.

We will do our best to minimise any delays and ensure that all data is delivered correctly in the end. Thank you for your understanding!

Update 17 January

Delay in Ireland continues until 20 January

There was a severe storm (storm Carragh) in the UK over the weekend of 7 December. One arrival port suffered damage which is expected to open from 16 January. First arrivals are scheduled from 20 January. Please allow for delays.

Delay due to new Customs system on 20 January

DPD UK has informed us that processing will not be possible on Monday evening 20 January until Tuesday 21 January. The following flows will not be processed:

  • Bulk Consignments to UK on Monday evening
  • Single Parcels to UK on Tuesday morning
  • Consignments to Ireland on Monday evening and Tuesday

Russia:

We suspended all Geopost shipments to and from Russia on February 28th, 2022. 

 

Special countries:

Geopost has decided it will no longer ship parcels to Cuba, South Sudan, North Korea, Myanmar (Burma) and Syria. Should you wish to ship your products to these countries, this is no longer possible trough DPD.

How can you request additional volumes?

As every year, during the busy period, you can only request extra volume via the request form on dpd.nl. This allows us to optimally deploy our capacity among applicants during the busy period.

The standard procedure for extra volume requests is as follows:

  1. Fill in  the request form completely.

  2. Send it to DPD before 12:00 daily.

  3. DPD will process your request and you will hear by 16:00 the same day by e-mail whether your request fits.

  4. We will collect the volume the next day.
