Those who have not yet written their Christmas cards are being advised to get a move on as Royal Mail gears up for its busiest time of the year.
The service is urging customers to post their mail before the advertised last posting dates and not to wait until the deadline is upon them.
At a time that global coronavirus restrictions are in place, its message is ‘shop early, send early for Christmas’ so people can be sure that their loved ones receive their festive deliveries in time.

Anyone who misses these dates has the option of using a Special Delivery service up until Wednesday, December 23.
Customers are also reminded to make posties’ lives easier by writing their postal addresses clearly and to always include the full postcode.
