Every day, we deliver thousands of parcels with care and dedication. Most of the time, everything goes according to plan – in our sorting process, on the road, and in our systems. But sometimes, delays can occur due to busy periods, weather, public holidays, or a technical update or disruption. On this page, we’ll keep you informed about anything that may affect your delivery or our digital tools. That way, you always know what to expect.

Delays

On this page, you'll find an overview of any current delays in our service. We're doing our best to deliver parcels as quickly as possible and will keep you informed here of any disruptions.

9 Septembre: Strikes in France
 

A strike day is planned in France on Wednesday 10 September, with demonstrations and blockades throughout the country. They are protesting against the French government's austerity measures.

The actions are not centrally organised, so it is unclear where the blockades will take place. There is talk of blockades on roads around Paris, in the west of the country and in the Rhône valley, but this has not been confirmed. Therefore, expect delays throughout the country.

12th of August: Warning: phishing messages in circulation

We are currently seeing phishing SMS and email messages being sent in the name of DPD. These messages often come from an international phone number that is not ours, contain links to fake websites, and ask for personal information or to reschedule a delivery.

Our advice:

  • Do not click on links in these messages
  • Always check that the email address ends with @dpd.nl
  • Only schedule deliveries via dpd.nl or the official DPD app
  • Call us only on our official phone number 085-0022222

Russia:

We suspended all Geopost shipments to and from Russia on February 28th, 2022. 

Worldwide:

Geopost has decided it will not ship parcels to Cuba, South Sudan, North Korea, Myanmar (Burma) and Syria. Should you wish to ship your products to these countries, this is not possible trough DPD.
