With Christmas fast approaching, here are the final posting dates for Royal Mail, Amazon, DPD, Evri, Yodel and other major UK couriers to ensure your parcels arrive in time.
Christmas is fast approaching, with households across the nation making their final preparations. Those with family members living far away or awaiting outstanding deliveries will be keenly aware of the ticking clock.
The Post Office has already encouraged customers to “check the last recommended posting dates for domestic mail services” to prevent disappointment. Major courier firms including Royal Mail, DPD, Yodel and Evri have each published their own final posting deadlines to guarantee Christmas delivery.
However, each company’s dates differ and remain subject to alteration.
Posting as early as possible is always advisable to eliminate last-minute stress, but those who’ve delayed needn’t panic. We’ve compiled the final posting deadlines for each major postal service and there’s still a time, reports the Express.
