Christmas 2024 - Last Postal Dates
Our final day of posting any orders for Christmas 2024 is Friday 20th December 2024. We are NOT guaranteeing delivery in time for Christmas - this is down to the shipping provider and the service YOU choose at the checkout. We ALWAYS recommend upgrading to a TRACKED service during busier periods.
Orders placed after 11am on 20/12/2024 will be posted on Friday 27th December 2024. We will then pause shipping again for New Year to avoid backlog at Royal Mail and our normal posting will resume from Thursday 2nd January 2025.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and understanding.
We know how important it is to ensure your greeting cards and gifts get where they should be in time for Christmas. Please see below the latest recommended posting dates for ALL Royal Mail UK and International services. We recommend to order early so we can have your item(s) dispatched as soon as possible and avoid the Christmas rush.
