Top Tips for a Smooth Christmas Delivery

Christmas is one of the busiest times for shipping, so book your shipment early to avoid delays. Check our Christmas delivery information guide for recommended send-by dates to ensure your gifts arrive on time.

Each country has its own customs regulations. Make sure your gifts comply with the destination’s rules to prevent delays or extra charges.

Familiarise yourself with our list of restricted items to ensure your parcel isn’t held up.

To make your parcels extra special this holiday season, start by adding a touch of holiday cheer. Line your box with festive wrapping paper or colourful tissue to create a magical unboxing experience. It’s these small, thoughtful details that bring a smile before the gift itself is even revealed.

It is important to protect fragile items with extra care. The padding should be thick enough to protect delicate treasures like ornaments, glassware, and other breakables. Your items can be kept safe during their journey with bubble wrap, crumpled paper, or soft fabrics like scarves. It is better to be overprotective than to risk disappointment if a gift breaks. Ensure everything is sealed with care and use strong packaging tape.

Labelling your box clearly is essential for a smooth delivery. Write the recipient’s address boldly and legibly on the outside of the box.
