Check Your Christmas Cut Off By Region

Mainland UK

Mainland UK covers most of England, Wales and central Scotland.

To give your order a realistic chance of arriving before Christmas:

  • Order on or before 16 December 2025 using Standard or Super Fast Track production.

  • 19 December 2025 is a last chance date and only realistic if you choose Super Fast Track production and Express or Next Day shipping.

  • We close at 12:00 midday on 19 December. Orders placed after this time will be produced and shipped in January, not for Christmas.

Production times:

  • Standard production: 3 to 5 working days

  • Super Fast Track: 1 to 3 working days

Typical UK delivery times once dispatched:

  • Standard: 2 to 3 working days

  • Express: 1 to 2 working days

  • Special Delivery or Next Day: usually 1 working day

All timings are estimates and can be longer in December.

Non Mainland UK and Remote Areas

This includes Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and other remote or offshore UK postcodes. Delivery to these areas usually takes longer than to mainland UK, especially in December.

If you need your card for Christmas and you are in one of these areas:

  • Aim to place your order by 15 December 2025 at the latest.

  • Choose Super Fast Track production and Express or Next Day shipping where available.

We close at 12:00 midday on 19 December. Orders from these areas placed close to that time, or after it, have a high risk of arriving after Christmas and will often not be produced until January.

International Orders

If you are outside the UK:

  • Christmas delivery is unlikely if you order after early December.

  • For many countries, the safest option is to order in late November or earlier.

International parcels can be delayed by local postal backlogs and customs checks. These delays are outside our control and can add several days or more.

Customs rules and any extra charges vary by country. Please read our Customs and Import Fees information before ordering. We cannot guarantee Christmas delivery for any international order, regardless of the date.

Our production closes at 12:00 midday on 19 December and reopens on 3 January, so any international orders placed after that time will not be produced until January.

Office Closure

Our production team is on Christmas break from 12:00 midday on Friday 19 December 2025 to Friday 3 January 2026.

  • Orders placed before 12:00 midday on 19 December:
    We will produce and ship as many as we can before we close. Anything we cannot complete will be produced in early January.

  • Orders placed after 12:00 midday on 19 December:
    Production will start when we reopen on 3 January. These orders are not Christmas orders and will arrive in January.

How Christmas Delivery Timing Works

Christmas delivery depends on two things: how fast we produce your card and how long the carrier takes to deliver it.

Production times

  • Standard production: 3 to 5 working days

  • Super Fast Track: 1 to 3 working days

Typical UK delivery times once dispatched

  • Standard: 2 to 3 working days

  • Express: 1 to 2 working days

  • Special Delivery or Next Day: usually 1 working day

These timings are estimates. In December, carriers can be slower than usual because of volume, weather and strikes. This is why we cannot guarantee arrival by a specific date, even if you order before the cut off dates.

FAQs

Can you guarantee my card will arrive before Christmas?

No. We can control when we produce and dispatch your card, but we cannot control Royal Mail, couriers, weather, strikes or customs. Because of this, we cannot guarantee delivery for a specific date, including Christmas Day, even if you order before the cut off dates.

Why will you not refund if the carrier is late?

If we produce and dispatch your order within the stated timeframes and before our cut off dates, we have done our part. Delays caused by carriers or customs are outside our control, so we cannot refund orders that arrive after Christmas when they were dispatched on time.

What happens if you miss your own production time?

If we fail to meet our production times before our Christmas closure at 12:00 midday on 19 December or if your card arrives damaged or with a serious print issue, our standard returns and refund policy applies and we will put it right as quickly as possible.

I am not sure if I am already too late. What should I do?

Contact us before ordering with your delivery address and when you need the card for. We will give you a clear and honest view based on the current date and carrier performance.

Christmas is our busiest time of year and we want to be as clear as possible. If you need your card for Christmas, order as early as you can, follow the cut off dates for your region, and use Super Fast Track with Express or Next Day shipping if you are close to the deadline.

Our production closes at 12:00 midday on 19 December and reopens on 3 January. After that midday cut off, your order will be treated as a January delivery. We will always do our best, but delivery for a specific day, including Christmas Day, can never be guaranteed.
