Printing Christmas 2022 Cut-off Days

The Xmas cutoff dates have been updated as of 2nd December.

Unfortunately, due to recent disruptions in the postal network, Royal Mail has brought their final post dates forward by up to a week for UK services.

As a result, we must also reduce our order cut-offs for Christmas delivery because there will be less time to produce your orders before the last post date.

Thanks to our average lead times remaining low over the peak period, we've only had to adjust our last order dates by 1 to 4 days.

Christmas Last Order Dates

The new last order dates for UK Christmas delivery are below, and the cut-off time is 11:59PM:

  • Royal Mail 48 Regular - Sunday 4th December (previously 8th December)
  • Royal Mail 24 Regular + 48 Tracked - Friday 9th December (previously 11th December)
  • Royal Mail 24 Tracked - Sunday 11th December (previously 12th December)

You can still place orders after the last order dates, but they may not arrive in time for Christmas.

We're truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We've updated our blog and will keep you posted if there are any further changes.

It's that time of year again! 'Tis the season of giving, and this means making sure customers receive their orders in time for Christmas.

Below you'll find the printing companies last order dates, which are the last dates that your orders can be placed with them to make sure they ship in time for Christmas delivery. 

The festive season is a busy time for everyone, and that includes the postal service. If you're hoping to get your Christmas orders in the post on time, it's important to keep these order deadlines in mind. While ordering by the below dates does not guarantee delivery by Christmas, it's the best guidance we can offer based on the last post dates. So be sure to communicate these dates in your store!

You can still place orders after the recommended dates below, but they will not be expected to arrive in time for Christmas.

The Royal Mail strikes are due to be ongoing throughout November and December, and there is a possibility that the dates may vary. However, we will email all users if the dates do change.

Also please note: extended lead times until December 31st are 7 working days for all orders. We'll keep you updated if there are any changes.
