Christmas and New Year service and delivery schedule 2025 GLS Finland
16.10.2025
During the Christmas and New Year period, GLS Finland services will generally operate as normal, except on public holidays when our customer service is closed and no collections or deliveries are made. GLS Finland operations will be closed during the Christmas holidays on Wednesday–Friday, 24–26 December 2025, and on New Year’s Day, Thursday, 1 January 2026.
Recommended shipping dates for parcels to arrive before Christmas:
- Denmark, Germany, southern of Sweden: Friday, 19.12.2025
- Sweden and Estonia: Thursday, 18.12.2025
- Central Europe and other Baltic countries: Wednesday, 17.12.2025
- Other European countries: Friday, 12.12.2025
Please note that some parcels collected by our partners are usually dispatched from the country on the day following collection. If you have any questions regarding this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We will do our best to deliver also parcels that are shipped later within normal delivery times, but due to the high shipping volumes before holiday season, some delays may occur in the days leading up to the holidays. We recommend sending your Christmas parcels as early as possible. This ensures that recipients have more time to arrange the delivery or collect their parcel during the busy holiday season. For urgent shipments, we recommend the GlobalExpressParcel service, which delivers across Europe, depending on pickup and destination, even by the next day, also during the Christmas period.
