Christmas posting dates 2023

Christmas posting dates

To help ensure your orders reach you before Christmas please bear the Royal mail last posting days in mind and if possible leave extra time, although the Royal Mail aim to delivery by the dates listed below, they’re not guaranteed (except special delivery), see bottom of the page for delivery terms and conditions. 

Please bear in mind that the Royal Mail will be busier at this time of year so please take this into account when ordering. With the higher volume of mail there are bound to be delays so please give you orders a couple of extra days to be delivered.
Unfortunately, we are all at the mercy of the Royal Mail currently (though we’re keeping our fingers crosses for speedy deliveries for everyone).

Terms and Conditions regards,

Postage

5. We will endeavor to dispatch your goods on the same day that we receive your order, when placed before 1pm Monday to Friday. If there is going to be a delay we will contact you by either phone or email.

i) Next Working Day delivery can only be completed and sent if we receive your order before 1pm. Please realise that even if you send the order before 1pm we will not necessarily get it before 1pm due to technical delays so feel free to call us to make sure we’ve received it!

ii) Orders taken/received Friday after 1pm and before Monday at 1pm with the Royal Mail Next Day Delivery option should be delivered the following Tuesday.

Please note if your order is lost or delayed in the post we will only be able to resend it free of charge after 10 working days from the date it was dispatched. 1st class post is expected to be delivered between 1-2 days after posting, 2nd class post 2-3 days after posting.

The Royal Mail quote 20 days for overseas orders, within Europe. 25 days for the rest of the world. This is because the Royal Mail do not class an item as lost until 10 working days have passed (Weekends and UK Bank Holidays are not counted as working days).

If we charge you for resending the order and after the 10 working days your first order has not been delivered, then we will refund your first original order.

If your first order is delivered after 10 working days and a second (replacement) order has also been delivered, then we can supply a freepost address to return the duplicate order to us if you chose not to keep it. Unfortunately, we are unable to resend orders unless they have been paid for a second time.
