We are as keen as you that you get your Christmas gifts in time, so to help you plan, here are the last posting dates for Christmas deliveries.
Please note that we have no control over the post once items leave us. These are the last posting dates that will still give items a chance of arriving before Christmas, but delivery dates are not guaranteed.
We post items Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays. We will be closed from 22nd December to 1st January inclusive, but a member of staff will be in the office to process orders and answer emails on the 28th of December.
Don't leave it until the last moment! We recommend ordering early to avoid disappointment. This is particularly the case for shipping methods that are sometimes slow, such as Evri, International Standard, and on occasion Royal Mail 2nd class.
Have a very Happy Christmas, Martin and the team at SOTABEAMS.
