CHRISTMAS is just days away and you need to get a move on if you want to send gifts and cards to arrive in time by post.<\/strong><\/p>\n The final dates for sending post are approaching and here is what you need to know to have a stress-free holiday season.<\/p>\n Millions of people send cards or gifts by post during the festive season.<\/p>\n But don't leave it too late or your package may end up arriving late.<\/p>\n The Post Office has revealed its recommended posting dates to send your gifts in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n It comes as a study made by the post service found that around four in 10 won\u2019t finish their Christmas shopping until at least the week before Christmas.<\/p>\n To make sure all your gifts are sent and received on time, Laura Joseph from Post Office listed out the main cutoff dates.<\/p>\n If you want your items to arrive in time for Christmas using standard post, the absolute latest dates you can post are December 18\u00a0for 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0class and December 20 for 1st<\/sup>\u00a0class.<\/p>\n "But if things have got on top of you and you\u2019ve missed these dates, we do have Special Delivery Guaranteed and next-day services, moving the very last date to the 22," Laura said.<\/p>\n Anyone choosing to post a parcel via Evri has a final posting date of December 19.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Those opting for DPD Next Day can send their parcels on December 22 and get them for December 23.<\/p>\n But to be safe, the sooner you send out your gifts, the better.<\/p>\n Laura added: "If you can, we really urge you to get your posting done early. <\/p>\n "Our branches are extremely busy this time of year, so if you\u2019re posting something that won\u2019t fit through a letterbox, the earlier you can head into a branch the better.<\/p>\n "Remember that lots of branches are open late and even over the weekend of December 16\/17, and there are over 11,000 nationwide, so you can find a time and branch that meets your needs.\u201d<\/p>\n Last Christmas, people had \u00a0to send their Christmas post sooner than expected this year as the deadline for delivery was brought forward due to strikes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
