Final collection dates for international Christmas delivery
Friday November 21, 2014
Whether you parents have retired to the Costa Del Sol or your best friend is settled in Sydney, you can still have their Christmas gifts delivered bang on time. If you follow the final collection dates your deliveries should arrive before the big day (all being well!).
If your gift is already wrapped and ready to go why not send it now? It is better to be safe than sorry as the couriers are very busy at this time of year!

Please note: The 2014 collection by dates are a guide only. They indicate the date by which parcels should be sent for delivery prior to Christmas. For items that require commercial or pro-forma invoices, if these are not provided or are completed incorrectly delivery will be delayed. As parcels are being delivered internationally customs delays can also occur. Some dates are for drop-off services.
