Spain

Wildfire-related restrictions in Spain lifted

Following the improvement of the situation in the areas affected by the wildfires, all temporary restrictions have been lifted.

Shipments can once again be registered as normal for all previously affected postal codes. Collections and deliveries are fully operational throughout these areas.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates if new developments affect our operations.

Thank you for your understanding.

Luxemburg

Due to reduced delivery capacity following new Luxembourg regulations for light commercial vehicles, delays to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may occur over the next two weeks.

Our teams are adapting transport routes, strengthening the partner network and taking additional measures to reduce the backlog and limit the impact on shipments.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Italy

Operational delays in Italy

Union meetings took place at two national sorting centres in Italy last night. In addition, a technical issue with the sorting system at one of these locations slowed down operations.

As a result, deliveries may experience delays in the following postal code areas:

  • 25XXX – Rovato
  • 31XXX – Treviso
  • 39XXX – Bolzano
  • 41XXX – Modena

Our teams are working to clear the backlog and restore normal operations as soon as possible.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
