No matter what gift you choose, follow these last collection dates to get it there by Christmas.

Time is ticking as we approach December and shopping lists are full of gifts for your loved ones. But how will you be sending your presents around the UK this year?

Please note:

• The 2014 collection by dates are a guide only.  They indicate the date by which parcels should be collected for delivery prior to Christmas.
• While the couriers have very high success rates very occasionally things can go wrong and no service isn't guaranteed.
• Some dates are for drop-off services rather than collection.
