As Christmas is nearing, the delivery systems will be overloaded. We recommend you to order early, especially if you want to ship a Christmas present or order from abroad.
The final dates for sending parcels are usually earlier for Drop Off and Economy services than for Next Day, Express or Same Day services. To ensure the best service this Christmas, we have displayed all our carrier’s last posting dates on our homepage. The deadlines vary by service and courier. Here is a brief summary:
Final posting dates:
UK– 22nd December 2022
We provide a wide range of fast and dependable domestic shipping, ideal for the hectic festive season. If you’ve delayed your delivery to the last moment, don’t worry, you can still send a parcel on 22nd December with DeliveryApp or CitySprint, who can help you fulfil your Christmas wishes with a variety of ultra-fast, same-day pickup options.
Of course, there are many other UK courier services to choose from. Please remember that most of our UK Express courier services need to be booked before 21st December. Likewise, our Drop Off and Standard service with carriers like DPD and DHL have earlier cut-offs. So, as we always advise, please order early for shipping.
Europe- 20th December 2022
Planning to send a parcel from the UK to Europe?
You can ship a parcel to a European country in a few working days with reliable couriers like Evri, FedEx Express and UPS. For instance, you can ship a package to Germany with Evri International ParcelShop in 2-5 working days.
Like all international shipments, parcels from the UK to a foreign country need a customs invoice. We’ve included the customs form in our booking process, making it easy to send your Christmas parcels overseas.
Worldwide- 19th December 2022
We can ship packages to countries worldwide. We’ve secured a great discount with well-known couriers like Spring Global, ECMS and Landmark Global.
Please remember that transit times and shipping costs differ from country to country. Enter your package details and delivery postcode into our Quote Tool for a precise results list.
