4. The congestion of the Hong Kong Parcels Sorting Out Facilities
5. The strengthening of parcel inspections in British and Dutch customs.
6. Delays in the local delivery due to bad weather in the destination country.

We know this is a big issue for you, unfortunately, this is an international problem that can’t be controlled by anyone, plus in this moment of crisis, nobody can forecast what will happen tomorrow, therefore we are unable to provide the usual service.

Shipping Updates – Canada and US 07/12/2020

Canada, Premium Special Line: 

Due to heavy snow and road closures, Canada has temporarily suspended all delivery services directed to postal codes starting with “R” (for example R2J 2L1). 

Please notify your customers that:

1. From now on, the delivery of new parcels will be temporarily suspended.
2. For packages that have been already shipped out, the delivery is temporarily suspended.
3. The parcels that are already in the final destination warehouse and the parcels out of the warehouse will be dispatched normally.
4. There will be a delay in the delivery of packages. The overall shipping time will become 10-13 working days after the delay.

As soon as the situation will start to improve we will send another notification.

US, emergency warning notice:

Due to the limited number of flights, finding aircraft space to ship packages is becoming more difficult every day, for this reason in the next day it is foreseeable that the price of the shipping will increase, and packages will start to wait in a queue in the airport.

To limit the delay of the package shipped to the US, our forwarder partners have formulated an effective emergency plan: some goods will be diverted to other parts of the United States and then transported by intercontinental trucks, but anyway a delay might be expected. We will keep you updated. 

These are today’s estimations and they are calculated on the average shipping time of last week’s shipping, but they can continue to change at any moment so our company will try to update you as soon as something happens.

Shipping Updates of the 19/11/2020

Due to the rise of the Coronavirus cases in America and Europe, many governments have strengthened their prevention measures. These, together with the increase in shipping volumes for Black Friday, may delay delivery times.

Don’t worry, not all countries are affected. Scroll below to find more info regarding the shipping situation for each country served by Special Line. 

United States

Due to the rise of confirmed cases and deaths in the United States, many federal state governments have strengthened their epidemic prevention measures.

This will delay delivery times by 1-3 working days.

United Kingdom

Due to some new measures, delivery companies had to implement contactless delivery and if there is no safe delivery point or a signature is required, the courier will place the package at the door of the delivery address and take a photo of it, subsequently passing this photo via email to the recipient as proof of delivery. This increases the work for the sorting facilities and may delay delivery times by 1-3 working days.

France

The new blockade policy introduced by French President Emmanuel Macron may delay delivery times by 1-3 working days.

Germany

Due to the reduction of available personnel as a consequence of the blockade measures, the processing and delivery of goods might be delayed.

It is estimated that the sorting delay will be 1-3 days, the last-mile delivery may be delayed 1-3 days, and the overall time will be delayed by about 3 working days.

Italy

There are no limitations for delivery within Italy at this moment, and there are only problems with deliveries in some specific areas that have top-level restrictive measures. These areas, as of today, are only Caccuri (88833) and Giffone (89020).

Spain

Currently, Spain’s borders between regions are closed which may delay delivery times by 1-3 working days.

Australia

As a consequence of the reduction of domestic and international flights, and the increase in the volume of packages, there will be delays in package processing.

Melbourne and its regional areas may have a delay of 1-3 working days.

Due to increased parcel processing and labor capacity restrictions in Victoria, all deliveries are expected to be delayed by 5 working days.

Czech Republic

Due to the epidemic prevention measures adopted by neighboring countries at border crossing points, road transport will be delayed and this may cause a delay of 1-3 working days in the timely delivery of the Czech Republic.

Croatia

The terminal dispatcher has launched a PIN-contactless dispatch service. On the day the package is delivered, the recipient will receive an email or Viber/SMS message, which contains a unique PIN code. The courier will ask the recipient to provide the PIN code when delivering the package, and then he will enter it into the scanner to complete the delivery.

Due to the current increase in cargo volume and the decrease in available personnel, it is expected that part of the delivery will be delayed by 2-5 working days.

Sweden

Due to the current increase in cargo volume, part of the delivery is expected to be delayed by 1-3 working days.

Greece

Due to the restrictive measures activated in Greece, deliveries will be delayed by 2-5 days, and there may be a delay of up to 15 days in Attica.

Ireland

Due to the high increase in cargo volume and low numbers of workers for the pandemic, terminal processing is slower than normal and this may cause an expected delay of around 4-6 working days. 

Due to the impact of the epidemic and the arrival of the peak season, the final delivery might be delayed for another 5-8 days. 

The delay is expected to last until mid-December, and the total delay might be around 12-21 working days.

Bulgaria

Due to the current increase in cargo volume, part of the delivery is expected to be delayed by 1-3 working days.

Romania

Due to the current increase in cargo volume, part of the delivery is expected to be delayed by 1-3 working days.

South Africa

South Africa’s economy has continued to decline due to the epidemic. In order to avoid tax losses caused by low parcel declarations, South African Customs have recently strengthened parcel inspections. These inspections will continue until after New Year’s Day and the parcels inspected by customs are expected to be released within 10-15 days. Due to the inspection, the overall time limit is delayed by 16-24 working days.

Canada

Due to the reduced number of flights and the impact of the epidemic, the Canadian route is expected to be delayed by 3-7 working days.

Norway, Bulgaria, Romania, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Malta, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Estonia, Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Belgium, Austria

Expected delivery times are as normal.

These are today’s estimations and they are calculated on the average shipping time of last week’s shipping, but they can continue to change at any moment so our company will try to update you as soon as something happens.

Shipping Updates of the 06/05/2020

As you all probably already know, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, there was a significant decrease in the number of flights. 

This situation is causing a lot of delays and increases in shipping prices. In fact, every day the forwarder companies need to buy their spot on the very few planes left by auction, and so packages have to wait in a queue at the airport before being shipped out. 

Please also note that express services, such as Premium Special Line and DHL, have been delayed and can no longer deliver in the time frame promised before the outbreak.

Nonetheless, these express shipping methods are still faster than the normal ones, because they have priority and reserved space on the first flight available.

In addition to these problems caused by the reduced number of flights, you have to consider the problems in the destinations countries. Depending on the situation in the last mile area, there could be further delays.

In the tab below, you can see the actual estimated delivery time for each country covered by  Special Line and Premium Special Line services. 

These are today’s estimations and they are calculated on the average shipping time of last week shipping, but they can change every moment so our company can’t promise that this time will be respected.

We know that is is a big issue for you, unfortunately, in this moment of crisis, nobody can forecast what will happen tomorrow, therefore we are unable to provide the usual service. 

Please also pay attention to the shipping prices of your items. Due to the constant fluctuation of the shipping costs, prices are constantly changing and we need to update our software in real-time to continue working. So, we kindly ask you to check your order shipping price every day before paying, to see if it is acceptable for you.
