    Thank you! Most buyers realize that they ain't going to get it in a day or two and stop buying maybe after Dec 10 or 12th. Gives us a bit of a rest when it is getting busy at home.

    UK versions

    To beat the Christmas rush, make sure you post before the recommended date. Your last posting dates for Christmas are:

    1st Class – 21st December
    2nd Class – 18th December
    Special Delivery – 23rd December
    Standard Parcels – 15th December

    The full set with International dates etc is available on a PDF from this page: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/c...diaId=17800253

    We've had a letter from RM this week to say that they are operating extended opening hours at the local sorting office in the week before Christmas. They are apparently also laying on extra deliveries for that week. Very helpful, particularly when so many people do their shopping at the last minute.

    Anyone else had this?

    Last shipping dates from Thailand

    In to UK
    Economy Airmail - last week of November (if you also pay the 50p for Expedited Exit)
    Standard Airmail - 2nd week of December but depends on political situation and protesters occupying the airport of not.
    EMS - 17th-18th December, but be ready to mortgage your house to pay for it.

    Into USA
    Tough - based on average transit times this year due to US Customs delays, you should have ordered before Easter.

    Into Australia
    Is it cold enough there yet to have Christmas? We guarantee you can order right up to Dec 24th and it'll be there before the first white stuff lands on the Snowy Mountains.

    Everywhere else - please be more specific - which Dec 25th?
