Germany's DHL Announcement: Delivery Delays in Cyprus/Italy/Portugal

Germany's DHL issued an announcement on December 22, 2023, regarding potential delivery delays in the final leg services to Cyprus, Italy, and Portugal. Here is a detailed report:

DHL recently announced that due to ongoing strikes, the final leg transit and delivery in Cyprus are expected to be delayed by 1 to 3 working days. The strike's impact on the logistics chain has constrained DHL's delivery services in that region.

In Italy, a surge in order volumes has led to inadequate processing capabilities among suppliers, resulting in an anticipated delay of 2 to 3 working days in overall delivery times. This challenge has prompted DHL to adjust its logistics plans to better manage the peak in orders.

Similarly, Portugal faces similar issues, with increased orders putting pressure on supplier processing capabilities, leading to an expected delay of 1 to 3 working days in overall delivery times. Deliveries to island regions might experience even longer delays.

The affected time frame spans from December 13, 2023, and involves final leg products such as DHL - International Paket, DHL - Warenpost International Premium Parcel, and DHL - Warenpost International Economy.

I will continue to monitor this situation's progress and provide timely updates.

Your understanding is appreciated, and thank you for your support.
