Christmas seems to come around quicker as each year passes. And here we are again. Many customers have been asking what our last departures before Christmas (to arrive before Christmas) and our first departures in the New Year will be.
The below is a guideline to be able to deliver before Christmas, with smooth Customs processes. We will have further departures both ways, but any deliveries would be either in between (if the recipient is open) or in the New Year. And of course we can also engage an express vehicle for urgent consignments.
Also, it is likely we will have some departures earlier than the 3rd, but the below are worst case scenarios.
