“As traffic to and from the UK and Ireland is already restricted, this has a huge impact on the delivery of shipments to and from these countries. This is contributed by the fact that the Eurotunnel connecting Europe to the UK is impassable. , as France has suspended travel from the British archipelago.

Shipments that were picked up on December 21 will be stopped at parcel distribution centers in Lithuania and returned to senders. Shipments already sent from Lithuania are also stopped and returned to senders.
“We understand that this decision will cause inconvenience to all customers expecting packages from the UK and Ireland, as well as residents who wish to send packages to these countries. At the same time, however, we hope that senders and recipients are also understanding. , since this is a necessary measure to guarantee the security of the country’s population “, says G. Bilevičius.
The resumption of the movement of shipments is likely to lead to a new order
DPD Lietuva’s director of marketing and sales notes that shipments to and from the UK will soon be affected by the changes that will take effect due to Brexit. According to him, the current situation, when all shipments are suspended, is temporary, and the resumption of the movement of shipments will take effect on a new order.
“Strong Brexit has led to shipments, customs duties or even value added taxes will be applied not only to products ordered online from the UK, but also to shipments to that country. New customs procedures will apply to starting January 4, but so far it is unlikely that we will update parcel delivery services by this date, ”says G. Bilevičius.
