Last Order Dates for Christmas 2025 With the festive season upon us, it's crucial to place your Christmas orders in time to ensure they arrive before the big day. Here are the last recommended order dates for international deliveries from the UK using our tracked shipping services. Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed Services Please note: Royal Mail has declined to publish transparent, specific last order dates for International Tracked & Signed services this year. This suggests they are not honouring their usual delivery timeframes during the busy Christmas period. Given this lack of clarity from Royal Mail, we have set our own recommended deadlines based on standard delivery times to give your parcels the best chance of arriving before Christmas. Outside of these dates, we cannot offer any guarantee that your order will arrive in time. We offer free shipping using Royal Mail International Tracked services to all destinations worldwide except Europe. Due to increased costs from IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) requirements and recycling levies, we cannot offer free shipping to European destinations. Sunday 7th December Last order date for all destinations outside Europe including USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Middle East, Caribbean, Central and South America Wednesday 10th December Last order date for all European destinations including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and all other European countries These are our strongly recommended order dates. Royal Mail's refusal to provide official guidance means delivery times are less predictable than usual during the peak season. To give yourself the best chance of delivery before Christmas, we advise placing your order as early as possible. DHL Express Services (Premium Courier) For guaranteed delivery with transparent, published deadlines, DHL Express offers premium courier services. DHL is significantly more expensive than Royal Mail, but there's a reason for that - they maintain their service standards year-round and provide reliable delivery commitments even during the busiest periods. DHL is not included in free shipping - this is a premium courier service with additional costs. However, for customers who need certainty of pre-Christmas delivery, it's the most reliable option. DHL quotes are available at the checkout based on your location. Tuesday 17 December Last order date for USA, Canada, Mexico, and Rest of World Thursday 18 December Last order date for Europe (both EU and Non-EU destinations) Monday 22 December Last order date for United Kingdom Important Information Royal Mail uncertainty: Without official last order dates from Royal Mail, delivery times are less predictable this Christmas. The dates we've provided above are our best estimates, but we cannot guarantee delivery outside these dates. Order early: Given Royal Mail's lack of transparency, we strongly recommend placing international orders in late November or the first week of December to maximise your chances of pre-Christmas delivery. DHL for peace of mind: If you need guaranteed delivery, DHL Express is the more reliable option this year. While it's a premium priced service, you get transparent deadlines, faster delivery, and better service standards during peak periods. Free shipping policy: We offer free Royal Mail International Tracked shipping to all destinations except Europe. European orders will incur shipping charges due to IOSS regulations and recycling levies that have significantly increased costs. Customs delays: International parcels may experience delays at customs that are beyond our control. Always allow extra time for overseas deliveries. Track your order: All our international services include tracking so you can monitor your parcel's journey. Need to Order After These Dates? If you've missed these deadlines, we'll continue processing orders throughout the festive period, but delivery before Christmas cannot be guaranteed for international destinations using Royal Mail services. For customers who need certainty, we recommend choosing DHL Express at checkout, which maintains reliable service standards and transparent delivery commitments even during the busiest time of year. For the most up-to-date information on your specific order, please check your tracking details or contact our customer service team. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season! Our recommended dates are based on Royal Mail's standard delivery timeframes. Royal Mail has not published official Christmas 2025 last order dates for International Tracked services. DHL dates are official published dates from DHL Express UK, correct as of November 2025.
