There’s not long now until Christmas, as people up and down the country are doing their final preparations. If you have loved ones far away or are still waiting to receive your deliveries, you’ll be aware of the countdown to the big day.
The Post Office has already urged customers to “check the last recommended posting dates for domestic mail services” to avoid missing out. Couriers including Royal Mail, DPD, Yodel and Evri have all laid out their own final posting dates to ensure arrival for Christmas. However, each company vary and dates are subject to change.
It is always recommended to post as early as possible to battle any last minute worries, but if you have left it until now do not fear. We have rounded up the final posting dates for each of the large postal companies and there’s still time.
