Deadlines for Posting Holiday Packages this Year

Meanwhile a report in today’s Metro.cz. indicates that despite the upturn in orders, the number of delivery drivers is shrinking, meaning that you should order gifts and send holiday packages sooner rather than later this year.

Alza.cz: Order by December 22 and you can pick up at its Holešovice flagship until 12pm on Christmas Day.

Mall.cz: Order by December 22; chose in-store delivery and personal pick up in order to get the gift before Christmas; their pick-up center is also open until noon on December 24.

Česká pošta: For domestic parcels you have until Tuesday, Decemeber 20 at 4:30 pm (though some branches may have an even earlier deadline) in order to guarantee delivery by December 24.

-A representative from Zaslat.cz an online logistics agency says that when ordering goods from abroad the deadline is December 18; when sending items abroad factor in 10 working days before Christmas (which would be today).

–SpeedeGo is a logistics carrier that still has spaces available for shipping your small packages to points across Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, North France) for the next day or two.

-Shoppers should also keep in mind a new law which dictates that shops over 200 sq meters can only be open until noon on December 24; shops must close entirely on December 25.
