Many people might not be ready to hear the word ‘Christmas’ just yet but there is no denying the festive season is fast approaching. For those who like to be prepared, buying presents early and getting them sent off is one way to take some of the stress out of the festive season.
So for super-organised people out there, we have the last posting dates for the Royal Mail and Evri to put in your phones and diaries. The dates are for gifts, cards or whatever else needs posting to arrive in time for the big day. Evri was previously Hermes.
The Royal Mail states: “Allow plenty of time for posting. Please post items and gifts for Christmas early, particularly for International deliveries. Ongoing covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe.”
