Your shipment may experience delays due to unexpected obstacles, both within the Netherlands and internationally. During busy periods, such as public holidays, there may also be changes to our services. This page keeps you informed of all the latest updates.
Spring Rush: Be Prepared! Spring is a busy season! With warmer weather, holiday bonuses, and multiple public holidays like King's Day, Ascension Day, and Pentecost, we see a significant increase in parcel volumes. This may result in a one-business-day delay in weeks with a public holiday.
To ensure your shipments arrive on time, we recommend registering and sending your parcels—especially higher volumes—in advance. Below, you’ll find an overview of the upcoming public holidays and their potential impact on our services.
May 20, 2025: Additional impact on performance in Italy
In addition to the ongoing strike in specific regions of Italy, we are experiencing further delays due to a strike at another hub. As a result, parcel volumes within Italy are being temporarily redistributed across multiple hubs. This may negatively affect delivery performance throughout the country.
May 19, 2025: Strike in Italy
Due to a drivers' strike in Italy, the situation in specific regions (0230825 and 0239831) is currently challenging. To minimize delays, we have opened two temporary depots between Brescia and Bergamo and deployed additional drivers. Furthermore, we are bypassing the Brescia hub by using the Verona and Milan hubs.
Russia:
We suspended all Geopost shipments to and from Russia on February 28th, 2022.
Special countries:
Geopost has decided it will no longer ship parcels to Cuba, South Sudan, North Korea, Myanmar (Burma) and Syria. Should you wish to ship your products to these countries, this is no longer possible trough DPD.
No disruptions at the moment
