# Impact of wildfires in France on transport and delivery times

## Current situation around Bordeaux

Large-scale wildfires in the Bordeaux region are causing logistical disruptions. Due to road closures, including the A63, a temporary loading ban applies in the affected areas. The safety of carriers and local residents is the top priority. Our logistical partners are seeking safe detours where possible.

## What does this mean for scheduled deliveries?

Shipments to the Bordeaux region and surrounding departments may experience delays. For shipments already in transit, we are looking for the best possible solution.

For projects in this region, please take the following into account:

- **Shipments in transit:** Is the delivery address located in a closed zone? The carrier will contact the recipient to arrange a delivery appointment.
- **Temporary returns:** Is delivery physically impossible? Shipments will be returned safely and free of charge to our distribution center.
- **New orders:** Please allow for a longer delivery time for shipments to southwestern France.

## Continuity of your projects

Delays directly impact your schedule. Our logistics team is closely monitoring the situation in France. As soon as an area is safely accessible again, we will resume transport immediately.

## What does this mean for your planning?

- **Check status:** View current delivery times directly in your personal account.
- **Urgent projects:** Do you have a strict deadline on site? [Contact us directly](/about-estg/contact) so we can immediately help you find a solution.
