It’s that time of year again! We all expect Christmas to be extra special this year and what better way to show your loved ones how much they mean to you than gifting them that special something they’ve been yearning for?
If you’re planning to post gifts to family and friends, it’s time to get organised. Christmas will be upon us before you can say ‘panettone’ so it’s essential to plan ahead.
To help keep your Christmas planning on track, we’ve put together a list of last posting deadlines for Italy, Europe and the rest of the world.
If you’re sending gifts in Italy, try not to leave it until the last minute. For peace of mind, send your gifts a couple of weeks before Christmas. There’s plenty to do in the run-up to Christmas, so get your Christmas posting done early and give yourself more time to relax with family and friends.
However, if things don’t go to plan (they often don’t at Christmas), Parcel Monkey can still help you out. Using our shipping calculator, you can book an express courier up until December 23rd at a discounted rate.
These reliable courier services will ensure your parcels reach their destination in time for Christmas:
| Service | Post by* |
|---|---|
| UPS Standard | Wednesday 22nd December |
| UPS Express Saver | Thursday 23rd December |
*Your parcel must be with the courier by this date.
Top Tip: Your parcel must be with the courier by the specified date so if you’d like your parcel collected, please book the day before you would like the collection. E.g. Book by Tuesday 21st for a collection on the 22nd. If you would like to drop off a parcel please check the opening and collection times for your chosen drop off point.
If you’re sending gifts to family and friends in Europe, Parcel Monkey can help you send a gift to almost any European destination at a discounted price. However, you will need to allow more time for international deliveries at Christmas.
Our most popular courier service to Europe is UPS Express Saver. The last posting date for UPS Express Saver to Europe is Tuesday 21st December. That means your parcel must be with UPS by this date. For destinations outside of Europe, ship your parcel no later than Thursday 16th December.
