Middle East Conflict: Impact on UK Deliveries
Ongoing conflict across the Middle East is disrupting major global shipping routes. Many carriers have paused or rerouted services around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s key trade corridors, due to rising security risks.
This means shipments heading to the UK may face:
• Longer transit times
• Higher freight costs
• More unpredictable schedules
We’re monitoring the situation closely and will keep you updated as it develops

🚚 Transport Update

Delta IE in France is currently offline and is expected to remain unavailable until tomorrow afternoon.
Our fallback procedures are active for urgent cases, but they are moving much slower than normal — so some delays should be expected.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation and keep things moving as efficiently as possible.

Thank you for your patience while this disruption is ongoing.
