Last Posting Dates for Christmas

16 November 2017
By Kim Sullivan

Getting all of your deliveries in time for when you need them is always a major struggle. Unfortunately, this struggle is only worsened when you add Christmas to the equation. With everyone looking to get their parcels and deliveries done before the big day, delivery services everywhere will be in a mad rush to make sure that everybody is happy. Getting your deliveries to go overseas can be even more strife, since this usually takes a bit longer than most deliveries. However, there are services that allow easier parcel forwarding from the UK, and you may want to have a look at some if you’re desperate to get your parcel to its destination in time for Christmas. Thankfully, Royal Mail have announced UK and International posting dates for Christmas 2017 to keep everybody in the loop:
