Here are the last posting dates for Royal Mail, Evri, DPD and Yodel for parcels to arrive in time for Christmas 2025. Last posting dates are of course the absolute last day for parcels to be delivered for Christmas, best advice as always is to post early…
…and if you are a consumer reading this, thinking that you’ll be able to shop for Christmas right up to the 23rd of December, this also relies on retailer cut off times and there being no delay with the carrier. Shop early and don’t leave it until the last minute!

Having worked for yodel it’s nice to see they are no longer saying up to Xmas Eve putting immense pressure on all staff. I now have a different job no longer fretting about huge Christmas volumes an extremely busy time for those poor staff glad to be out of it.
