Near East War
Important Shipping Update: Your Packages are Safe
In light of current headlines regarding the Middle East conflict, we have received inquiries about the security of our transport routes. We would like to reassure you: Your shipments are not affected.
At Pinoy24.de, we took proactive measures more than a year ago. Since the Middle East route (Suez Canal/Red Sea) has been considered unstable for a long time, we have consistently adjusted our logistics.
- Alternative Route: All our packages are safely transported via the route around South Africa (Cape of Good Hope).
- Stability: While this route is geographically longer, it provides the necessary safety and continuity for your cargo.
- Experience: We have been successfully using this proven detour for over 12 months.
You do not need to worry about delays or risks caused by current political tensions in the Middle East region. We ensure your package reaches its destination safely – as always.
