Here are my current last ordering dates for delivery by Christmas 2018.
If you order by the date given below for your country/region, I will guarantee to have your item(s) in the post by the Royal Mail’s last recommended posting date for Christmas. Delivery time is not, however, guaranteed and they don’t always manage it, so please don’t leave ordering till the last possible moment!
If you have your eye on something, please check back, as things will change!
If I get busy, I may have to move the dates below forward, and you risk being disappointed if you haven’t placed your order.
If a fixed delivery date is really important to you, please contact me and we can look into a guaranteed service.
Please always read my full Terms and Conditions.
