With just over a fortnight until Christmas, the rush is on to ensure all your gifts are bought and wrapped in time for December 25. After battling through crowded shops and surfing online for that something special, the next task is wrapping and dispatching your presents to their intended recipients.
If your festive offerings need to be mailed, it’s vital to plan ahead as the cut-off dates for sending parcels are drawing near. The Royal Mail is advising customers to “allow plenty of time for posting” and to despatch parcels well ahead to guarantee they arrive before the big day, reports the Express.
For those with packages to send, the Post Office has published the final posting deadlines from Royal Mail, Dpd, Evri, and Parcelforce for December.
