Check Christmas Eve Delivery Capacity
While most major couriers, and some independent couriers, will be operating Christmas Eve collection and delivery runs, be mindful of their capacity to handle your logistics needs. Christmas is the season for staff holidays. This means that some courier providers are operating with reduced driver numbers.
If this is the case, and you have an urgent collection or delivery requirement, how feasible is it that they can fit in your request? Are you likely to be last on the delivery run? Do you have to pay extra for express or guaranteed delivery?
When time is of the essence, can you afford to take the risk that your consignments might not arrive or be delivered ready for Christmas?
Equally, a lot of courier services might be faced with huge demand and an increased workload, meaning that they have no Christmas Eve delivery slots.
With Speedy Freight, there’s no such risk. We have the capacity to take advanced bookings for Christmas Eve delivery and in most cases, we handle last-minute, same day delivery jobs too, that’s our core service.
What Christmas Eve Hours Are Couriers Working?
When choosing a courier for Christmas Eve business delivery, check the hours that they are operating. Don’t get caught out by contacting a courier service thinking ‘they’ll be working Christmas Eve, surely’, only to find that they closed for the holidays at 12 noon.
A lot of courier companies, especially the smaller independent firms, will be working limited hours, while others might be working a standard 9am - 5pm.
For your peace of mind, Speedy Freight operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Find Out Which Services Are Available
Some courier companies offer reduced services on Christmas Eve. It’s not uncommon for courier providers to offer delivery only or shut down their specialist services over the Christmas period.
This means that if you need collection or a specific service, you need to make sure that what you need for your business is available.
