Does anyone known if DHL deliver on Saturdays? I've had a look on their website but can't seem to see anything regarding this.

Cheers

If you pay for weekend delivery then yes I imagine so.

Ahhh probably not then. It's just that I'm waiting on a package from China, it was departed from the Germany hub earlier so I expect it'd be on for delivery to me tomorrow.

As far as I known I haven't payed for weekend delivery. Guess it'll be Monday

Not sure how it works when its airmail, I guess just keep an eye on the tracking.

because of the volcano we are sending all freight via the roads so there is an extra 24hrs delay
so you will not get it till Monday at the earliest i`d say
im not even at work as we dont have any of our(DHL) planes in

No flights into the UK because of the huge volcano spewing ash into the sky and grounding everything - how do people miss this stuff?
It'll go by road for delivery next week - probably Mon/Tue

Some European courier road deliveries are delayed too due to that extra load. I was expecting a UPS delivery from Germany today but i'm not surprised (or unhappy) that it's been rescheduled for Monday.

UPS fly there freight too from europe and depending where from they will send it via us(DHL), same as we do with them if we don't have a flight to that part of the europe/world, the royal mail also send freight with us everynight

Ah ok. i thought it would be driven across. That explains the delay further
