SERVICE UPDATES FROM DHL ECOMMERCE UK

We strive to deliver every parcel safely and on time - however occasionally road closures due to planned events or unexpected incidents, weather conditions or system outages may affect or otherwise disrupt delivery services.

Whenever we're aware of a potential interruption to our deliveries, we'll post an update here with as much detail as possible, so you can be well-informed on the arrival of your parcel.

August 2026

  • The Met Office has issued an Amber extreme heat warning for Thursday 13th August 2026, affecting large parts of the UK, including:

    • London and the Southeast
    • East Anglia
    • East and West Midlands
    • Parts of South Yorkshire

    To support network operations during this period, customers are asked to ensure collections are ready within agreed time windows, loads are correctly segregated, and volume forecasts remain as accurate as possible, particularly where significant changes are expected.

    While we are taking all reasonable steps to maintain service levels, some delays may be unavoidable due to the impact of the extreme weather. Enhanced measures are being implemented across our network to protect service continuity, operational resilience, and colleague welfare.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
