Estimate holiday orders early and group deliveries by area and date. Book your busiest days before making promises to customers. Prepare recipient lists, packaging and receiving instructions ahead of collection. From November to January, plan separately for sales events, corporate gifts and seasonal customer orders.

In 30 seconds

  • In October, estimate how many orders you expect.
  • Book your deliveries by early November at the latest.
  • Group deliveries by area and day so each block goes further.

When is peak delivery season?

Plan for deliveries from the November sales period through the first week of January. Corporate gifts, Christmas orders and Three Kings' Day bring different recipient lists and receiving schedules. Separate office deliveries from home deliveries. Confirm availability before promising a collection date or arrival window.

What should you prepare for Buen Fin 2026?

Buen Fin 2026 runs from November 13 to 17. Prepare packaging, recipient lists and receiving windows before accepting delivery commitments. Group orders by area and confirm service availability, especially around the November 16 public holiday. Book dedicated blocks one day ahead and check availability before promising a date.

See the official Buen Fin website. For year-end office orders, read our corporate holiday gift delivery guide.

What happens if you don't book your deliveries in time?

Late booking leaves fewer options for your busiest delivery dates. You may need to change customer expectations or move orders to another available day. Confirm availability before accepting a fixed delivery commitment. Preparing the recipient list early also helps you compare routes and required blocks.

Morning and afternoon blocks have limited capacity. In December they are booked in the order requests come in, so it's worth reserving your busiest days in November.

Corporate gifts: how to organize the list

Build one corporate gift list with each recipient's name, company, address, phone and receiving window. Separate offices from homes, then group destinations by area. Label every package to match the list before pickup. Keep individual delivery photos so your team can confirm who received each gift.

  1. Close the list at least one week before the delivery date.
  2. Separate offices from homes: offices close earlier for the holidays.
  3. Group by area: Santa Fe and Interlomas, Lomas de Chapultepec and Polanco.
  4. Label every gift with name, company and address.
  5. Ask for individual proof: a photo and the name of who received each one.

Checklist for your December deliveries

Prepare your order estimate, delivery dates, cutoff, packaging, recipient list, backup plan and customer messages before the seasonal rush. Confirm receiving windows for offices and homes separately. Check that every package matches the list. Agree what happens if the recipient is unavailable when the driver arrives.

  • Estimated orders per week from November to January.
  • Busiest days identified and deliveries booked for them.
  • An order cut-off date published for your customers.
  • Enough packaging for the season (boxes, boards, labels).
  • A single format for delivery details: name, address, phone, time window.
  • A plan B if someone isn't home: reception, second attempt or reschedule.
  • A ready-made message to tell customers their order is on the way.
