Christmas posting dates 2016
Sending items
abroad this Christmas? Then it’s worth
knowing that many Royal Mail last posting dates fall in November.
For example, if you want your parcels to be
under the tree by Christmas Eve in Cyprus, Eastern Europe, Greece, Iceland,
Malta and Turkey, Thursday 3rd November is the latest recommended
posting date if you’re sending via International Economy (which used to be
known as Surface Mail). And if you’re
posting to Western Europe, the last recommended date is Thursday 17th
November.
You can extend
those last posting dates using Royal Mail’s International Standard,
International Tracking, Signature and Air Lift services (find out more here). But if it simply has to be there and you
can’t make those dates, remember that Mail Boxes Etc. is here to help. Whatever it is, and wherever it’s going, if
it has to be there by Christmas our priority shipping services will save the
day.
Take
a look at our last posting dates for your gifts and business packages:
For most international destinations, including
the US, Canada, the Far East and Australasia, we can courier your parcels and
packages right up to 18th
December. And for Europe and the
UK, you can drop off your items to your local MBE store right up to 23rd December.
Remember - if it
simply must be there by Christmas, with our huge selection of international
shippers and the best choice of priority services, at Mail Boxes Etc. we can still
get your parcels and packages there in time! www.mbe.co.uk
