Why holiday shipping takes longer

During major holidays and peak shopping periods, courier networks handle a much larger number of parcels than usual. That extra volume can affect branch intake, sorting, transfer schedules, and final-mile delivery.

When delays are most likely

Delays often become more noticeable around:

  1. Christmas and New Year
  2. Holy Week
  3. Long weekends
  4. Payday sale events
  5. Back-to-school shopping periods

What usually changes

Compared with normal delivery windows, parcels may take an extra day or more to move between branches and hubs. Remote areas and island destinations are usually affected the most because they depend on tighter transport schedules.

How to plan better

  • Ship early if the parcel must arrive before a holiday.
  • Track the package daily once it is in transit.
  • Expect slower branch service during high-volume periods.
  • Avoid last-minute address corrections if possible.

What senders and buyers should know

A package that looks delayed during peak season may still be moving normally within the adjusted holiday timeline. The best clue is whether new scans continue to appear, even if the progress feels slower than usual.

Summary

LBC delivery can take longer during holiday periods because of heavier shipment volume and tighter transport capacity. The safest approach is to send early and watch the tracking closely.
