Overland Express
Against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 outbreak, we, along with our courier partners are continuously adapting our business to mitigate potential impacts. The safety of our employees and customers is paramount, therefore in line with government guidance, Overland Express in the UK is moving to home working for employees where possible.
It is business as usual across all of our departments, however, as we migrate to new ways of working, there may be a short delay in answering your call and we ask for your patience at this time.
All of our courier partners are stipulating that cardboard boxes must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.

Conflict in Ukraine
Due to the current conflict in Ukraine, all services to Ukraine have been suspended. Likewise, due to the economic sanctions that have been imposed against the Russian Federation and Belarus, all shipments too and from these countries have also been suspended.
We are unable to state when these services will be resumed.
As a result of the conflict, the price of oil has exponentially risen, and our courier partners have had to increase their rates to absorb this unexpected extra cost.
Expectations
Due to the unique circumstances that we all find ourselves in, it should expected that there will be unforeseen delays in certain areas. Overland Express, along with our courier partners are working diligently to ensure that your parcels are collected and delivered on the specified dates, however, please treat these timeframes as a guideline rather than a guarantee. For the vast majority of deliveries there will be no noticeable impact.
This page will be updated when any new, significant information is made available to us. We thank you for your understanding.
