Monday 4th May is a Bank Holiday in the UK, so none of the parcel carriers will be collecting or delivering

If you order in the next couple of days, please allow a couple of extra days for parcels to arrive

Therefore, all carriers will be closed Friday 3rd April and Monday 6th April, so no deliveries or collections will be made 

If you do order from us over the next week or so, please allow exta time for your delivery to arrive, due to the shorter weeks

However, although we will continue to despatch orders, we cannot promise they will arrive in time for the big day

It doesn't look as though any carriers are collecting on 24th December, but Royal Mail in the UK will be back at work on Saturday 27th

If you order during Christmas week, please bear in mind there will most probably be a delay in you receiving your order

Normal service should be resumed by all carriers on Monday 29th December

As you know, we mainly use Royal Mail (UK) and FedEx (overseas) for our deliveries and they both seem to be suggesting that they are able to accept items up to and including the weekend before Christmas and still get items delivered before the big day 

It seems to be cutting it a little close, so we are asking everyone who wants an order in time for Christmas to order before 9pm on Thursday 18th December, to ensure despatch on Friday 19th December

Obviously this is still dependent on the parcel carriers being able to get the item delivered and excludes Fed Ex's remote locations  

However, like all our fellow vendors, we would encourage you to order as soon as possible in case of heavy volumes of parcels or potential adverse weather
