    • Christmas Eve: December 24th - DPD may offer some services, but check with them directly.


      Important Note: DPD does not deliver on weekends or bank holidays in the UK, so these closures will impact their delivery schedule.

Couriers usually extend estimated delivery times around Christmas because they handle more parcels than usual during this period. They often face additional delays because of heavy traffic or adverse weather conditions.

We recommend ordering well in advance to avoid late deliveries and disappointment. Make sure you add 2 or 3 extra working days if you are shipping in December, especially right before Christmas.
