December is traditionally the busiest work period for postal companies all over the world, therefore, approaching the end of 2022, Latvijas Pasts invites customers to make purchases in foreign online stores in time and send greetings and gifts to foreign countries for the end of the year holidays. The exact address must be indicated on the shipment and it must be ensured that there are no prohibited items in its contents.

When planning the desired time for the delivery of parcels, the distance to the addressee’s country should be taken into account – since the destination is further away, the parcel may be delayed on the way for a longer time, especially in cases where there is no direct air traffic between the countries at all and the parcels travel in transit between different countries.

When planning to send shipments in December, it should be expected that the delivery time of international shipments could be longer than tentatively determined.
