When should you start planning Black Friday logistics for your business?

We advise you to start planning your logistics at least 8-12 weeks before Black Friday and Cyber Monday to give your business the best chance of success. This preparation window allows you to:

Secure transport capacity before demand peaks and carriers get fully booked.

Position your inventory strategically across warehouses or distribution hubs to minimize delivery times.

Align with your logistics partners to confirm lead times, delivery windows, and any special requirements for time-critical shipments.

Stress-test your supply chain systems, ensuring order processing, stock management, and communication channels can handle increased volumes.

By planning early, you avoid last-minute bottlenecks, reduce the risk of delays, and ensure you can keep your promises to customers during the busiest shopping season of the year.

Lock in your capacity with Van Express ahead of time not only to secure reliable delivery but also to protect your business from last-minute price increase, so you can move your goods with confidence and control.

If you need help, speak to our logistics experts who have many years of experience with Black Friday logistics and will find the best solution for you.

The middle-mile advantage: the hidden key to Black Friday success

Behind every successful Black Friday delivery is a well-orchestrated supply chain—and the middle mile logistics is the critical link. At this stage goods move from ports, factories, or distribution centres to regional hubs and warehouses, where last-mile couriers can take over.

If the middle mile slows down, even the best last-mile team can’t make up lost time.

That’s why choosing the right carrier isn’t just a convenience—it’s a strategy. Reliable middle-mile transport companies ensure your Black Friday inventory reaches the right locations on schedule, keeps fulfilment centres promptly stocked, and prevents costly last-minute bottlenecks.

Van Express specializes in fast, cross-border middle mile dedicated van deliveries and FTL shipments everywhere in Europe that keep your supply chain running smoothly, so your Black Friday and Cyber Monday promises to your customers stay intact and they receive their orders exactly when expected.
