Here’s something handy that’s well worth bookmarking: a blog post from Linnworks that details all the last Christmas posting dates for Royal Mail and all the major couriers. That includes Yodel, Hermes, Parcelforce, DPD and others. Find the details here.
It also provides details from the various carriers about collection and drop-off dates between Christmas and New Year and also the days on which the firms will be delivering during the 24th December and 3rd January period.
Of course, what these dates don’t mention is that that some Post Office workers are having a strike on the 3rd December, although that’s not expected to have much impact.
And also, what about the weather? It seems much more likely than recent years that we’ll have a nationwide weather disruption event that could cause problems.
