In the heart of Bavaria, residents south of Munich are currently facing longer wait times for their parcels and letters due to a blanket of snow and icy roads. Post and DHL, two prominent delivery services, encountered obstacles over the weekend, rendering them unable to deliver letters and parcels in Munich. The scarcity of trains and buses significantly impacted employee commuting, exacerbating the issue. The backlog of letters and parcels in some distribution centers necessitates additional days to reduce their volume, the DHL Group confirmed.
Thomas Homberger, the Head of the Southern Division at Post und DHL, acknowledged the challenges, promising to preserve limitations around Munich to the best of their abilities. Nevertheless, delay warnings are in order for the foreseeable future given the intricate weather circumstances. Several roads remain unnavigable for postal carriers due to inadequate clearance, and some letterboxes and branches remain inaccessible. In light of these challenges, DHL appeals for understanding and patience from their customers.
Despite the unfavorable conditions, DHL vows to reduce disruptions in and around Munich as much as possible. The company acknowledges that delays are inevitable, and additional complications may arise from the ongoing weather challenges.
