Important Message
Allied Express continues to experience some volume-related delays in the final lead-up to Christmas.
We’re quickly working through any remaining backlogs but expect to have all items that were received prior to their specified cut-off date to be delivered prior to Christmas Day.
The same applies to our delivery agents in regional areas, but the areas that have been under the greatest pressure will continue to experience some delays through until 24 Dec. The areas experiencing these longer delays are Wollongong, NSW Southern Highlands, Canberra and Tasmania.
We’re aware that some deliveries may be incomplete as some items have been received and processed at a different time and are still on the move. These can be expected within 48hrs-72hrs of the first delivery – we appreciate your patience as we continue to work through these timing differences.
As a reminder, our last cut-off date for deliveries to be completed prior to Christmas is Fri 19 Dec. Our best endeavours will be made on items received after this date.
