Christmas Delivery Schedule
Festive Season Last Ordering Dates and Delivery Schedule (Christmas 2018 / New Year 2019)
As usual over the Christmas and New Year period, there will be alterations to our normal delivery schedule. We strongly recommend using a courier service if Christmas delivery is required. The cutoff time for courier delivery (using the regular Next Day service of DPD) is 2 PM on Friday 21 December.
Please note that the schedule applies to orders received before 2 PM. As always, orders received by us after this point will normally be dispatched the next working day instead.
Last Ordering Dates
Next Day Courier (DPD) - Before 2 PM on Friday 21 December. (Please allow one or more extra days for Scottish Highlands and offshore UK addresses).
Royal Mail First and Second Class - Before 2 PM on Thursday 20 December (for First Class) and before 2 PM on Tuesday 18 December (for Second Class). These are based on Royal Mail's recommended dates, but if using these services we recommend ordering earlier as they are non-guaranteed.
Other European Destinations - Delivery schedules will vary across Europe over the festive period. Please allow for extra delivery time.
