Holidays are a time of joy and spending time with loved ones, but at the same time they can also be stressful. Especially when it comes to gift shopping and on-time delivery. Online shopping has been growing for several years, but it is during the holiday season that it reaches its peak season, so planning your purchases is crucial. Read what DPD advises on how to make sure that the gifts are under your Christmas tree on time.
During the holiday season, the number of parcels in Slovenia and Europe increases significantly. This means more pressure on delivery services, so planning and ordering the gifts you want to give your loved ones in time is very important during this period. Ordering on time can mean less stress and, of course, a better chance of your gifts being delivered on time.
DPD offers its users flexible delivery for carefree holidays - each recipient can customize the delivery of their parcels and pick it up wherever and whenever it suits them.
They have prepared 3 tips for you, how to have a carefree holiday delivery:
