Last Christmas Posting Dates 2021
Last Recommended Christmas Posting Dates
We have outlined below all the last recommended Christmas posting dates for in-stock items and pre-order's, provided by Royal Mail and courier services. You can still place an order after these dates and we will dispatch as normal but your order will not arrive until after Christmas.
All handmade / made-to-order items will have a processing timescale stated on the product page prior to dispatch.
Please note these are recommended dates only provided by Royal Mail / couriers and are not guaranteed (unless you select a guaranteed delivery service) so we would advise you order in plenty of time before the recommended date as the increase in Christmas deliveries may result in delays.
We will be dispatching in-stock order's up to 4pm (GMT) on Friday 22nd December (9am for pre-orders). Our offices will be closed from 4pm (GMT) on Friday 22nd December 2023 and will re-open on Monday 8th January 2024. You can still place an order during this time and we will dispatch your order when we re-open on Monday 8th January (excludes made-to-order items).
