Update on the Last Recommended Posting Dates for Christmas 2015
October is drawing to a close, and although most of our customers will be concerning themselves with the festivities associated with “All Hallows Eve” it is worth noting just how quickly October seems to have sped by and that Christmas is rapidly approaching. As a mail order company, Everything Dinosaur does all it can to help customers get their gifts in time for the big day.
The warehouse team will once again be putting in the long hours of dedicated service to make sure that parcels are packed and despatched as quickly as possible. In addition, we have begun packing and sending out orders on Saturday mornings to help keep up with the amount of orders we are now receiving.
Recommended Posting Dates
Royal Mail in conjunction with the Post Office, have produced a handy guide which provides details of the last safe, recommended posting dates for Christmas parcels and other mail sent overseas and around the United Kingdom. The table we have created below summarises these dates.

Please note:
On the Everything Dinosaur website (Delivery Policy page) we have provided the following information about International Surface Mail posting options:
“A number of international delivery and postal options are offered by Everything Dinosaur, including Airmail, International Surface Mail and International Parcel Force. Whilst Everything Dinosaur does all it can to ensure a rapid despatch, customers should note that International Surface Mail, often the cheapest international postage option is a relatively slow service and deliveries can take many weeks to arrive dependent on destination country.”
