Royal Mail have advised the following last posting dates for international and domestic post to arrive in time for Christmas 2022.
Please bear in mind that there have been a number of postal strikes recently and more are expected to take place. Therefore 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.

Friday 2 December – Caribbean, Cyprus and Malta

The final post of the year will leave the office on Thursday 22 December and the Slightly Foxed office will be closed from Friday 23 December until Wednesday 4 January 2023.
The last posting dates for Christmas 2022 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 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.
