An SFF official was interviewed on Radio 4 this morning.

They kept asking him whether he now regretted campaigning for Leave.

He got quite uppity.

Couldn't happen to a nicer chap...

Dear Paul,

UPS have made us aware of severe delays to all international parcels due to the multiple changes recently enforced by Brexit. As a result UPS have stopped any further international parcel bookings through Parcel2Go and all other major partners.

If you’ve sent a parcel recently with UPS than the delays will result in your parcel being delivered later than initially expected. We are very sorry for this and UPS are working to deliver all parcels as quickly as possible. The UPS international service will be available again for bookings once the delayed parcels have been cleared.

The best way to track your parcel is via the website here, using your P2G reference number. However, please be aware that there may be limited tracking information available due to the ongoing delays. Also, if you are still unsure what the new requirements are for sending parcels into Europe, click here for all you need to know.

We do offer a large number of alternative international services but please be aware that delays may be possible due to the ongoing Brexit issues, click here to get a quote.

Should you need to contact us, we are currently experiencing unprecedented contact to our customer service teams so please bear with us. We are working at maximum capacity to deal with the workload and we are sorry for any delays.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Parcel2Go Team
