Christmas Post for 2019
At this busy time of year Royal Mail and overseas postal services can take longer to deliver parcels than normal. Please give your packages extra time to arrive, but feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
Royal Mail have released the recommended last posting dates for this Christmas. Please note that these are not guaranteed for delivery by Christmas, so we recommend ordering as early as possible. Orders placed after midday UK time on these dates are unlikely to reach you by Christmas. We aim to dispatch quickly, but unfortunately cannot control how long the postal services take to deliver.
