Suspension of services between the UK and Europe

Following the decision of most European countries to close their border with the UK, DPDgroup has no choice but to suspend European road services between mainland Europe and Great Britain. Therefore, the following decisions enter into force on 21 December 2020 until further notice:

  • Services from Great Britain and Channel Islands to mainland Europe suspended
  • Services from mainland Europe to UK, Channel Islands, and Republic of Ireland suspended
  • Services UK to Republic of Ireland suspended, except designated UK accounts
  • Services Republic of Ireland to UK as per normal

Services Republic of Ireland to European Union as per normal with potential delay.
At this stage, we do not know how long these services will be unavailable for, but we will provide regular updates as the situation changes.

Updates from December 23th:

  • The Netherlands
    • Due to the public holidays, no collections will be made on December 24 and 31. For more information, see our website.
  • United Kingdom
    • The Eurotunnel reopened last night. This does not mean that parcels can be delivered to the United Kingdom and Ireland again. This is due to the long waiting times at the tunnel and expect to take days to get back to normal. We will start the service again as soon as this is practically possible again. We will of course keep you informed of this.
