Christmas delivery deadlines
Yahoo have today run a small, but I thought, very useful piece which I thought I would put on my blog. No one wants to miss giving a Christmas present to family and friends due to the fact that it was not delivered on time, so below is a list of deadlines for posting parcels and letters to make sure that they are delivered before Christmas. (Arctic weather depending!)
Beat the Christmas rush and the elbow digs in the post office and make sure you get your Xmas parcels signed, sealed and delivered in time for Christmas day. This means:
Getting your standard parcels posted by Wednesday 14th December Your first class recorded signed for items in by Tuesday 20th December Friday 23rd December with a Saturday guarantee Get your parcels in by Friday 9th December for Eastern Europe, USA and Canada Get your parcels in by Monday 12th December for Western Europe
Avoid having a nightmare before Christmas by being organised and using the special delivery service, which offers delivery before Christmas if you post your items by:
Christmas overseas
For those of you with family or friends on further shores then keep in mind that international delivery in time for Christmas has a tighter schedule! (The reindeer have to travel further, you see):
So if you are ordering your pet portrait from us, please allow ten days for us to create it from placing your order and we need to post it to you by the 14th December using standard parcel post. So get your orders in prior to the 4th of December to avoid disappointment.
