      How does COVID-19 affect my shipments?

      Information regarding transports and COVID-19

      Keep up to date on each carriers website
      To keep you updated on the situation, we recommend that you visit the carriers websites where new information is published on a regular basis.

      COVID-19 Surcharge

      International transports have been affected by disturbances and imbalances, such as reductions in exports or imports. This has resulted in significantly increased costs for the carriers, leading to additional "Traffic Disruption Supplement" or "COVID-19 Surcharge".

       

      But keep calm. Sendify takes all traceable surcharges into account when you book your shipment, so that you know the price before you press send.

       

      TIME CRITICAL SHIPMENTS

      For shipments that are time-critical and must reach their destination quickly, it is important that you select a transport product that is the priority of the carrier.

       

      Examples of express and priority transport options

       

      • UPS Express Saver, UPS Express, UPS Express Plus

      • TNT Express, TNT Express 09/10/12

      Keep in mind that currently no guaranteed lead times apply. Thus, no compensation is made for delays from the carrier. However, Sendify still recommends time-critical transport with a priority transport alternative.
