Last Posting Dates for Christmas 2024

Royal Mail have advised the following last posting dates for international and domestic post to arrive in time for Christmas 2024.

Please bear in mind that this is an incredibly busy time of year for posting cards and parcels and whilst Royal Mail are running an increased service with more staff and additional deliveries, these dates are by no means guaranteed, so we recommend placing your order as early as possible to ensure it arrives in good time.

All orders that are noted to be Christmas presents will be labelled as such by us here at SF HQ so recipients will know not to open the package before the day. Our packages are unbranded to make sure the contents remain a surprise.

Wednesday 27 November – BFPOs

Tuesday 3 December – Africa, Asia, Australia, Caribbean, Central and South America, China (People’s Republic), Asia, Far and Middle East and New Zealand

Wednesday 4 December – Cyprus, Malta, Portugal and Spain

Thursday 5 December – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Eastern Europe (excl. Poland), France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey

Friday 6 December – Canada, Czechia, Finland, Italy, Poland, Sweden and USA

Wednesday 18 December – 2nd Class UK

Friday 20 December – 1st Class UK

Monday 23 December – Next Day Special Delivery

The final post of the year will leave the office on Monday 23 December and we will continue posting worldwide up to and including that date. The Slightly Foxed office will be closed from Monday 23 December until Friday 3 January 2025.

The last posting dates for Christmas 2024 should allow enough time for delivery but they are by no means guaranteed. Please do place your order as soon as possible to give us enough time to pack and post your goods out in time for Christmas. For any last-minute presents, or for items to be posted outside the UK, you can order all goods on our website and have a printable gift card sent to you or directly to the gift recipient by email. Your items will follow in the post.

Please be aware that due to the ongoing postal strike in Canada, we are unable to post your orders via Royal Mail until the situation is resolved. All items are being held in the office until further notice.

Please get in touch by phone on +44 (0) 20 7033 0258 or email [email protected] if you have any urgent enquiries about an order. And if you need an emergency gift card to tide you over, you can download one of our plain printable gift cards.
