Current plans…

I will be checking emails over this period but won’t be answering calls.

*Note that Royal Mail are giving Monday 21st as last day for 1st Class and Tracked 24. Recommended service for orders received after 2pm Monday 21st December is Special Delivery.

Cut-off time for same day shipping may be earlier than usual depending on order volume. Order as early as possible to avoid delays or disappointment.

International.
Royal Mail no longer publish final posting dates for international post. They just point everyone to the Country Guides and say to order “as early as possible”.

Absolutely useless information. Privatisation, eh?
