Updates from parcel delivery firms and Royal Mail amid Storm Eowyn

DELIVERY firms have provided updates to customers expecting parcels across Greater Glasgow amid Storm Eowyn

DPD has suspended all deliveries across central Scotland due to the severe red weather warning

A statement read: "The Met Office has issued red and amber weather warnings for Friday, January 24 to Saturday, January 25, with strong winds of up to 90mph expected to cause dangerous conditions and substantial disruption.

"A red weather warning signals a risk to life and advises people not to travel into, out of, through or within those areas for the period the warning is in place.

"We are therefore following Government advice and suspending services in central Scotland throughout this period and where we do so, parcels will inevitably incur a 24-hour delay.

"As always, if we have your customers' contact details we will advise them of any delay." 

Meanwhile, Royal Mail may suspend services across the area.

Their latest update read: "A red weather warning signals a risk to life and advises people not to travel into, out of, through or within those areas for the period the warning is in place.

"Royal Mail takes these warnings very seriously and follows government advice. As a result, in areas covered by a red weather warning we may temporarily suspend all outdoor activities for the duration the warning is in place." 

It is believed that Amazon has shut down three delivery stations across central Scotland today, according to an employee on social media. 

They say deliveries will resume tomorrow morning.
