The Post Office has shared the recommended posting dates for all UK services ahead of Christmas 2025. They warned customers to “check the last recommended posting dates for domestic mail services” this week to avoid disappointment.
Royal Mail also urged customers to check the last posting dates to ensure their Christmas deliveries arrive on time. They said: “Alow plenty of time for posting this Christmas. Post items and gifts early, particularly for international deliveries. Last posting dates are correct at the time of publishing and are subject to change. It’s always advisable to post as early as possible to ensure that your Christmas letters and parcels reach their destination in good time.”
