Tomas Vaišvila, the communication manager of the parcel company “DPD Lietuva”, noticed that the beginning of the Christmas boom is usually observed in the middle of November, when the season of sales and Christmas shopping accelerates.
“The biggest change in shipment growth is seen when Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales take place – shipment volumes, compared to the annual daily average, grow up to 50 percent or more right up to Christmas, and even more just before Christmas,” he revealed. .
According to T. Vaišvila, this year, with the arrival of the Chinese cheap goods platform “Temu” in Lithuania, the sales start even earlier, because November 11 (“Singles’ Day”) is the equivalent of the European “Black Friday” for Chinese goods, which is rapidly becoming popular all over the world , not surpassing Lithuania.
Some of the gifts from foreign trade platforms travel by postal machines.
So, when should you order the goods so that Santa’s sleigh does not get stuck or gets stuck, and the gifts reach the addressees on time?

**Interview with Tomas Vaišvila, Communication Manager of DPD Lietuva**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Tomas. As we approach the holiday season, can you tell us how this time of year impacts parcel delivery services?
**Tomas Vaišvila:** Thank you for having me! Yes, the Christmas boom typically kicks off in mid-November. That’s when we see a significant increase in online shopping and, consequently, in shipment volumes.
**Editor:** Interesting! What specific days or events contribute the most to this surge in delivery demand?
**Tomas Vaišvila:** The peak times are certainly around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. During these sales events, shipment volumes can increase by 50 percent or more compared to the average daily figures. As we get closer to Christmas, especially in the final days, the numbers continue to rise even further.
**Editor:** You mentioned that this year has some unique factors impacting these trends. Could you elaborate on that?
**Tomas Vaišvila:** Absolutely. The entry of the Chinese e-commerce platform “Temu” into the Lithuanian market has shifted the landscape. It has introduced new sales opportunities, particularly with Singles’ Day on November 11, which is similar to Black Friday. This has prompted earlier shopping behaviors and increased demand for shipping.
**Editor:** That’s fascinating! How is DPD Lietuva preparing to handle this anticipated surge in deliveries?
**Tomas Vaišvila:** We’re enhancing our logistics and operational capacity to ensure timely delivery. This includes optimizing our routes and staffing our depots adequately to manage the increased volume. Our goal is to maintain a personal approach to parcel delivery while meeting the heightened demand.
**Editor:** Thank you, Tomas, for sharing these insights. It seems like it will be a busy but exciting holiday season for DPD Lietuva!
**Tomas Vaišvila:** Thank you! We look forward to serving our customers and making their holiday shopping experience as smooth as possible.
