However, please be advised that due to the Christmas Rush, Christmas Delivery cannot be 100% guaranteed. We advise everyone to get their orders in ASAP to avoid disappointment.
We recommend using the Tracked 24 or Special Delivery Guaranteed options to ensure your items arrive on time with full tracking. These services are being prioritised. Please note that due to the busy period Tracked 24 is not a next-day service and Royal Mail advises to allow 1-3 days for delivery using this option. The other services may be subject to delay and cannot be guaranteed. Again we urge everyone to get orders in early to avoid disappointment.
