Belgium – Forest Fires: Delivery Disruptions

Due to the forest fires that have been ongoing since last Saturday, as well as the resulting evacuations and road closures, deliveries to the following postal codes are currently being disrupted:

• 4770 – Amel
• 4771 – Amblève
• 4950 – Sourbrodt
• 4750 – Bütgenbach

Parcels destined for these areas will be delivered with delays. The fire remains out of control and, given the current situation, these disruptions may continue for the coming weeks.

In addition, current weather conditions, particularly the cloud cover, are currently preventing the use of aerial firefighting resources, further complicating operations.

We thank you for your understanding and patience. We will keep you informed of any developments and of the return to normal delivery services in the affected areas.

Deliveries to Luxembourg
Following the introduction of new Luxembourg regulations affecting light commercial vehicles, distribution capacity has been temporarily reduced. As a result, deliveries to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may experience delays over the coming weeks.
This situation may also have an occasional impact on certain shipments to Belgium.
Our teams are implementing alternative operational solutions to minimize the impact on your shipments and clear the backlog as quickly as possible.
