UPS Warehouse Backlog Causes Massive Shipping Delays——Impact on E-commerce Logistics and International Parcels

2025-12-12

Recently, UPS has been experiencing a large-scale backlog across multiple European warehouse hubs, causing significant delays for international parcels and e-commerce shipments. Affected regions include Germany, France, the Netherlands, and surrounding EU countries, where parcels are stuck at courier facilities or unable to be accepted into warehouses.

Why Is Europe UPS Facing Severe Backlog?

According to industry sources, the delays are mainly caused by the following factors:

Peak-Season Volume Surge
Lack of Flight Capacity
Shortage of Unloading Slots at UPS Facilities

Germany Hit the Hardest

UPS Germany issued an early notice in November, announcing that all FBA inbound storage slots would be cancelled from Dec 1–12, with normal operations resuming only on Dec 13.

The blockage in Germany has caused a chain reaction:

Large amounts of cargo have been diverted to UPS facilities in the Netherlands and France, further worsening local congestion.

How to Reduce the Impact of UPS Backlog?

To minimize delays during this congested season, sellers can consider:

Switching from UPS to more stable sea freight + door-to-door channels
Using LCL sea freight for stable replenishment
Choosing DDP/DDU logistics options to avoid customs delays
Diversifying warehouse destinations to reduce risk
