As the busiest shopping period of the year approaches, we’ll keep you updated on the recommended last postage dates to help ensure your buyers receive their orders from you in time.

 

We’ll update this page with further information as the final shipping date from Royal Mail is confirmed, likely by the end of September 2025.
