🎄📮 The countdown to Christmas is on! If you’ve still got parcels and cards to send, pay attention: the Post Office has announced the last posting dates to ensure your gifts arrive before the big day. But hurry up—most international deadlines have already passed!
A whopping two-thirds of us have dealt with the disappointment of late deliveries in previous years, but there’s no need for that to be you. Some international deliveries are still possible until Monday, December 15th, so there may still be time to get those gifts overseas!
Postmaster Arif Matadar has shared some savvy tips to make sure your parcels arrive safely and on time. Remember to declare what’s inside, as certain items like perfume can only be sent within the UK. Also, check its value, decide on how quickly you want it delivered, and choose your preferred tracking option. And don’t forget to package securely and write addresses clearly!
