Burglary shortly before Christmas: packages in Windeck ransacked!

Windeck-Rosbach, Deutschland - A break-in in the postal distribution center in Windeck-Rosbach causes excitement before Christmas. Unknown perpetrators went into the building last week and have torn down and ransacked numerous packages. An employee noticed on Friday morning that the light did not work and met the devastation. The police discovered that the perpetrators had probably gained access through a broken cellar door window and an open safe was also a sign of crime. What exactly was taken from the open packages remains unclear, and the district police ask the population to use the incident, such as Radio Bonn reported.

Christmas package shipping under pressure

At the same time, the package services are in the high season. While the customers hectically send Christmas gifts, the parcel services determine massive shipment numbers - DHL alone expects up to eleven million packages a day. The delivery marathon is fueled by the increasing number of online purchases during BlackWeek. If you want to send a package in time for Christmas, you should not hesitate because the deadlines have already passed. The deadlines are particularly tight for international programs, especially outside of Europe, since only premium options can arrive in good time. Hermes makes it clear that all packages that will be handed in in the package stations by 12:00 p.m. will have a first delivery attempt until Christmas Eve, such as Inside Digital shown.

For everyone who wants to send at the last minute, only the express shipping remains as an option. For DPD, national packages have to be submitted by December 20, while international programs depend heavily on the target countries. However, the infrastructural challenges and the high emergence could mean that some packages do not arrive in time. The anticipation for the festival is clouded by the slump and the uncertain situation for many Christmas presents.
