Do couriers deliver parcels on Good Friday and Easter Monday?
Parcels are delivered on Good Friday and Easter Monday if they are business days in the destination country. You should check public holiday dates in your delivery country if you are unsure whether couriers will deliver your parcel on Good Friday or Easter Monday. For example, Good Friday is a public holiday in the UK, whereas in the USA, it is only a non-working day in some states. Similarly, Easter Monday is not a public holiday in the USA or Scotland, although it is a day off in the rest of the UK.
Therefore, to find out if the couriers work and if your parcels will be delivered on Good Friday or Easter Monday, check the local calendar for your specific route beforehand. Bear in mind that Orthodox countries observe Easter on different dates.
How do I know if DHL, Hermes (Evri) or UPS will deliver over Easter?
You should check holiday dates in the delivery country as well as the Easter delivery schedules of individual couriers such as DPD, DHL, Hermes (Evri), Purolator, and UPS.
For example, UPS offers regular parcel pick-up and delivery services on Good Friday in the USA, but the same does not apply to UPS in the UK. Each courier company has its schedule adapted to the country of operation.

Will the post deliver parcels on Good Friday or Easter Monday?
Postal services such as Royal Mail or USPS will operate as normal on business days in the locality. There will be no postal services on Good Friday or Easter Monday if they are public holidays. It is advisable to check if there will be any regional holidays in the part of the country where you plan to send your Easter parcel. To avoid any inconvenience, we recommend shipping your Easter presents 2-5 days in advance
