Why is planning Christmas supply chain management early enough so important?

To stay ahead of the game and be ready when Black Friday and Christmas seasons kick in, you need to start planning your logistics operations at least 2 to 3 months in advance to lock in logistics capacity your business will need during these busy times.

With the right tools, a good plan and a reliable logistics company, you can succeed this Christmas season. Here is how:

Secure your transport capacity well in advance. December is the busiest shopping and shipping period, and waiting too long can mean limited transport availability and higher carrier rates.

Position inventory strategically across fulfilment centres or regional hubs to shorten delivery routes and meet customer expectations for on-time Christmas deliveries.

Coordinate closely with your logistics partners to confirm lead times, delivery schedules, and any special handling needs for time-sensitive or seasonal products.

Test your supply chain systems under pressure to ensure your order management, stock control, and communication processes can handle Christmas shipping volumes seamlessly.

Book secure cross-border van or freight logistics services for your December deliveries with Van Express now. If you need help, get in touch with our logistics professionals. They will make sure you get a tailored solution before it’s too late.

Helpful, fast and reliable. Their operator responded quickly with a quote, they didn’t have issues with my company’s last-minute changes. The driver loaded up all the items and away he went. He delivered our shipment as promised. The communication was also good. I’d definitely recommend Van Express to others.

FAQ

Find answers to most common questions.

When should I secure Christmas logistics capacity for my business?

Start securing transport capacity for December shipments 2-3 months in advance (ideally September-October). By late November, most reliable carriers reach full capacity and rates increase significantly. Early booking guarantees space during peak season and protects against last-minute price surges.

How fast are Christmas delivery services with Van Express?

Transit times depend on your route. Domestic shipments typically arrive within 24 hours, while cross-border European deliveries take 24-48 hours. We arrange collection within 2-3 hours across European urban areas. Your cargo travels in dedicated vans without consolidation delays that slow traditional freight during peak season.

Can Van Express provide urgent Christmas logistics solutions?

Yes. Our express van service provides same-day and next-day delivery options across Europe. With collection within 2-3 hours and direct routing, we handle urgent stock replenishments, emergency shipments, and last-minute deliveries throughout December period.

However, we suggest you secure your load in advance, as by late November many carriers are fully booked and can’t take new orders.  

What makes dedicated van delivery service better than standard freight transport during Christmas season?

Dedicated vans travel directly to your destination without stops at sorting hubs or consolidation centres. During holiday season, these hubs become severely congested and shipping delays are no surprise. Your dedicated van bypasses all bottlenecks, delivering faster and more reliably around Christmas time than shared freight solutions.

Can I track my December shipments in real-time?

Every Van Express shipment includes real-time tracking through our mobile app and web platform. You receive live updates, estimated arrival times, and direct access to our 24/7 support team throughout your shipment's journey.

What if I need to adjust delivery timing during festive season rush?

Contact our support team immediately. We accommodate timing changes based on driver routing and capacity availability. Earlier notification provides more flexibility, but our team works to adjust schedules whenever possible during peak-season operations.

Are there any prohibited items I cannot ship with Van Express?

For the time being, we cannot transport any prohibited items. We are developing our services further, and if you are not sure if your items are prohibited, check with our logistics experts before you secure Christmas logistics capacity for your business.
