From Monday 23rd November there will be a temporary pause in deliveries to all of The Trading Post's retail collection points across France. This means that there are no deliveries to Collection Points between for a one-month period between 23rd December 2024 and 20th January 2025.
Due to the high demands upon stock, vehicles and staff during the winter period, we have once again decided to temporarily pause all retail collection point deliveries for one month from Christmas week 2024. For our Collection Point customers, this is traditionally the quietest month of the year, which lends itself best to a fermeture exceptionelle, so we hope it will have a minimal detrimental impact.
From a practical perspective, this means that each collection point has a final delivery before Christmas, followed by a four-week-long break, before resuming as normal from the end of January/start of February. Therefore, if you are a Collection Point customer, and you anticipate requiring Trading Post goods during the fermeture exceptionelle, please plan your next order accordingly. We sincerely hope that this temporary break in service does not cause too much disruption or inconvenience.
