Last Christmas Posting Dates


With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve listed the final posting dates to ensure your parcels arrive in time for the big day. As a small business, we truly appreciate each and every order, especially at this busy time of year. All our orders are sent via Royal Mail, and international parcels are delivered by the local postal service in each country.

The dates below reflect the final posting deadlines based on the standard service we offer for each country. If you’re sending your own parcels, please check the relevant website for specific posting dates. To avoid any delays, we recommend ordering as early as possible.

We offer free standard UK delivery on all orders over £25, and the last day to qualify for this and still get your parcel in time is Wednesday, 18th December 2024.

Please note that all orders need to be placed by 1pm on the specified date to ensure they are ready for collection by the delivery service. Once parcels leave our office, we no longer have control over the delivery, so we cannot guarantee these dates. If you have any questions about delivery, please take a look at our delivery information page, which should answer all your queries.
