Dear Valued Customers,

We would like to inform you of a current situation affecting freight movements in France and Belgium. Sources in France have reported a blockade by farmers, impacting transportation to various areas, notably Paris, Lyon, and Gennevilliers.
The protest, which originated in France and has now extended into Belgium, involves tractors blocking major roads across the country. This unforeseen circumstance is currently affecting our service levels.
In response, our carriers are actively exploring alternative routes and considering the possibility of transporting goods via train to mitigate the impact on cargo destinations. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the situation, we are unable to provide a certain end date for the protest in France.
In Belgium, farmers plan to continue their protest until Thursday, coinciding with a European summit in Brussels. We anticipate further disruptions in the coming days as our carriers work to recover from delivery delays affecting trailers that typically transport via these countries.
Our carriers are committed to monitoring the situation closely. In the event of any further disruption to our operations, we will communicate accordingly. For additional information, please feel free to contact us.
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging time.

Good morning,

Deliveries may experience up to a one-day delay as they work to bring the service levels back up.

Postcode area: NR1-97, NR13-18, 29, 30, 31, 32 33/ IP18-22.

Thank you for your understanding!

Please be advised that due to the current exceptional circumstances, we see ourselves forced to make some changes in regards to our UK Mainland services. 

Following more than 12 months of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry is now facing a nationwide HGV driver shortage and increased freight volume, which has led to massive backlogs. 

Furthermore, the transit time for our UK Mainland services will be changed as follows:

- Premium Services: 1/2 working days

- Economy Services: 3/4 working days

*Please note that the services to/from other parts of the UK, such as UK Highlands, Channel Islands, UK Islands, Northern Ireland, and UK Isle of Wight are also subject to transit time changes.

Your delivery is our main priority, and we will continue to work tirelessly alongside our carriers, to provide our customers the best service we can.

We would like to thank you for your understanding and your support, and please be assured that we will continue to update you as soon as we receive any updates from our carriers.

Here at Pallet2Ship, we put our customers first and aim to give you the most up to date information. Please see the information below regarding required documentation for shipments post Brexit.
