Several factors can contribute to delays:</p><h3 data-start="1093" data-end="1126" style="text-align: justify;" id="1-increased-order-volume"><strong data-start="1097" data-end="1126"><span style="font-size: 16px;">1. Increased Order Volume</span></strong></h3><p data-start="1127" data-end="1288" style="text-align: justify;">Millions of parcels enter the shipping network at the same time. Carriers often operate at full capacity, which can slow down both processing and delivery times.</p><h3 data-start="1290" data-end="1334" style="text-align: justify;" id="2-extended-carrier-processing-times"><strong data-start="1294" data-end="1334"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2. Extended Carrier Processing Times</span></strong></h3><p data-start="1335" data-end="1493" style="text-align: justify;">Sorting centers and local hubs handle significantly more shipments, which can delay the movement of parcels between facilities and to their final destination.</p><h3 data-start="1495" data-end="1533" style="text-align: justify;" id="3-weather-related-disruptions"><strong data-start="1499" data-end="1533"><span style="font-size: 16px;">3. Weather-Related Disruptions</span></strong></h3><p data-start="1534" data-end="1663" style="text-align: justify;">Winter weather conditions&#x2014;such as heavy snow, ice, or storms&#x2014;can interrupt transportation routes and temporarily slow deliveries.</p><h3 data-start="1665" data-end="1718" style="text-align: justify;" id="4-local-delivery-restrictions-or-high-demand"><strong data-start="1669" data-end="1718"><span style="font-size: 16px;">4. Local Delivery Restrictions or High Demand</span></strong></h3><p data-start="1719" data-end="1837" style="text-align: justify;">Some regions experience unusually high demand or limited delivery capacity, which may impact last-mile delivery speed.</p><hr data-start="1839" data-end="1842" style="text-align: justify;"><h2 data-start="1844" data-end="1870" style="text-align: justify;" id="what-you-can-expect"><strong data-start="1847" data-end="1870"><span style="font-size: 18px;">What You Can Expect</span></strong></h2><h3 data-start="1872" data-end="1903" style="text-align: justify;" id="longer-delivery-windows"><strong data-start="1876" data-end="1903"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Longer Delivery Windows</span></strong></h3><p data-start="1904" data-end="1997" style="text-align: justify;">Orders may take several extra business days beyond the standard estimated delivery timeframe.</p><h3 data-start="1999" data-end="2037" style="text-align: justify;" id="less-frequent-tracking-updates"><strong data-start="2003" data-end="2037"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Less Frequent Tracking Updates</span></strong></h3><p data-start="2038" data-end="2134" style="text-align: justify;">Tracking may update less regularly, especially while parcels are in high-volume sorting centers.</p><h3 data-start="2136" data-end="2194" style="text-align: justify;" id="occasional-delivery-attempts-or-collection-notices"><strong data-start="2140" data-end="2194"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Occasional Delivery Attempts or Collection Notices</span></strong></h3><p data-start="2195" data-end="2305" style="text-align: justify;">If a delivery cannot be completed, the carrier may leave a notice for pick-up at a local depot or Packstation.</p><h2 data-start="2265" data-end="2290" id><br></h2>
