Royal Mail recommends posting items as early as possible, particularly for international deliveries, as overseas services experience significantly higher volumes during the Christmas period.
Customers sending cards and gifts abroad should check Royal Mail’s country-specific guidance for the latest international delivery aims and deadlines.
The publication of the Christmas posting deadlines provides retailers, publishers and consumers with an opportunity to plan ahead for the festive season and ensure cards and gifts are sent in good time. It also serves as a timely reminder of the important role greeting cards play in helping people stay connected with friends, family and colleagues at Christmas.
Through the GCA’s #Cardmitment campaign, we continue to champion the positive impact that sending and receiving a card can have. Whether it’s a Christmas card, a thank-you card or a simple note to let someone know you’re thinking of them, every card sent helps strengthen relationships, fosters meaningful connections and spreads goodwill during the festive season.
