Xmas Last Posting Dates

 

Christmas is not too far away now, so if you're buying online it's worth considering which shipping option to select when placing your order if it's needed in time for the big day.

We've gathered recommended last posting dates from the Royal Mail website, although we would advise to allow just a little extra time due to increased parcel volumes to be absolutely assured that your parcel will reach you; who needs added stress at this time of year worrying about late deliveries?

Wherever possible choose we recommend you choose a higher service level such as Royal Mail Tracked24 or Special delivery to avoid longer delivery timeframes and to prevent disappointment.

Latest recommended posting dates are correct at the time of publishing.

We don't want to disappoint any of our customers, so to help us meet these posting deadlines, orders must be received no later than 12noon on the actual date shown above to give us enough time to process, pick and pack your order ready to be shipped that day.

We will do our absolute best to fulfill orders received after that time and before 3pm, however we cannot guarantee that it will ship - we don't like making promises we can't keep, but we will work as hard as we can to not disappoint, even upgrading your order to you to Tracked 24 if necessary at no extra cost.

Merry Christmas from the Heat Treats team.
