Austrian Post handles 1.65 million parcels in one week
For the first time in the company’s history, Austrian Post is breaking its recently set daily record for the number of parcels transported. A strong long weekend for online retail means that Austrian Post has once again surpassed its daily record set only last week with around 1.65 million parcels.
Peter Umundum, Deputy Director General, Member of the Management Board for Parcel & Logistics, Österreichische Post AG: “This has never happened before: After several strong days in a row, we broke our own daily record with around 1.65 million parcels within just one week. These parcel volumes speak for the great trust of our shipping customers and the high level of performance that we owe to our dedicated employees. Christmas can come – Swiss Post will take care of it!”
Swiss Post expects high shipment volumes to continue until Christmas Eve. To ensure that all letters and parcels arrive on time, Swiss Post recommends planning a buffer and ordering or sending them in good time. The most important deadlines for shipping within Austria are:
