Further Details
Please take time to read the key points below and the above schedules to ensure your freight arrives ‘on time and in full’ over the festive period.
- The information contained is for non-hazardous network freight only. If you require any full load, part load or hazardous undertaken work on Friday 27th December 2024 please contact our Haulage Team directly on haulage@angliafreight.co.uk.
- Palletline and local deliveries are available on Friday 27th December. The following arrangements apply:
| Delivery | Collection on A Service | Collection on B Service |

- Any freight collected between the Christmas and New Year will be delivered as booked, please note that none of the 3 Bank Holidays counts as a transit day for any shipment.
- We strongly recommend checking that premises are open and able to accept freight for deliveries during this period. If the premises are closed there will be a charge for re-delivery.
- Any freight collected before Christmas that should not be delivered until the 2nd January must be booked as a specific day delivery and state this in the delivery instructions. For this time period only, we will only charge economy rates for specific day bookings.
- On Friday 27th, Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st December 2024 the following adjustments will be made:
- Cut off for booking freight moved forward to 1000hrs.
- Freight must be available for collection from 1100hrs.
- The Hazchem Network will be closed between Christmas and New Year with the last trunking day Monday 23rd December 2024. Any hazardous freight requirements must be agreed in writing prior to booking. All such consignments will be rated and charged independently from any previously issued tariffs and pricing as they will be shipped on dedicated vehicles.
- Some delivery areas, e.g. the Highlands and Islands or the Republic and Northern Ireland that require ferry crossings to make delivery will be affected during the festive period. Please contact our Sales Team if you require distribution to these areas.
- Anglia Freight’s warehouse will be closed from 1200hrs on Tuesday 24th December at 1200hrs and will reopen to take orders at 0900hrs Thursday 2nd January 2025. During these dates orders can be placed for picking for despatch on 2nd January.
If you require any non hazardous orders to be delivered between these dates then they will require picking prior to closing and therefore will have to be added to the booking portal before 1200hrs Monday 23rd December 2024.
