Order early! We dispatch quickly, but sending sooner gives your gift the best chance to arrive in time.
Check addresses carefully — especially for international orders.
Upgrade to Express if you’re cutting it fine.
Keep an eye on your tracking — once your order’s on its way, you can follow its journey.
Be mindful of customs and local delivery delays and charges for overseas destinations.
We’ll do everything we can to get your order out quickly, but once it’s in the hands of the post, delivery times are out of our control. We recommend sending as early as possible — and while these dates are the current cut-offs, please understand that delivery by Christmas cannot be guaranteed.
