LAST-MINUTE CHRISTMAS DELIVERY

Found the perfect Christmas gift at the last minute?

Priority Express is the option to check when standard shipping will take too long. Parcels travel by air, with estimated delivery in 24–72 hours.

Same-day collection may be available in selected locations. Book early in the day and have the parcel packed, with the shipping label printed and attached.

Before booking, check how the estimated arrival date fits around Christmas closures. A faster service does not remove the possibility of holiday or customs delays.

What can I send for Christmas with courier

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS

What can you send for Christmas in a parcel?

Build your Christmas parcel around the things they enjoy, whether that means a cosy evening, a family game or a familiar festive treat. Add a handwritten card to make it feel a little more like home.

Something cosy:

A Christmas jumper, warm socks, a scarf or a pair of festive pyjamas.

Something to enjoy together:

Board games, puzzles, books or a soft toy for a younger family member.

A taste of the season:

Packaged sweets, biscuits or chocolate, where accepted by the selected service and destination. Check food restrictions before including them.

A little festive decoration:

Fabric ornaments, a Christmas stocking or lightweight, non-fragile decorations for their home.

Something made just for them:

A knitted accessory, a decorated notebook or a handmade card with a personal message.

Check that every item is accepted for shipping and pack the contents securely before sealing the box.

Items you can't send for Christmas

BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE BOX

Are any Christmas gifts restricted from shipping?

Perfume, alcoholic drinks, perishable foods and battery-powered gifts can have restrictions that do not apply to clothing or books. Some items require special arrangements, while others are not accepted in regular parcel shipments.

Regular parcel services are not temperature-controlled and should not be used for fresh food that needs refrigeration.

Read our restricted and prohibited items guide, or contact customer support to check a particular gift before booking.

Send Christmas presents internationally

INTERNATIONAL CHRISTMAS SHIPPING

Sending Christmas presents abroad?

Christmas gifts crossing a customs border need the relevant shipping documents. This generally applies to shipments between EU and non-EU destinations.

Describe the contents individually and declare their values accurately. For example, “wool scarf” and “children’s board game” give customs more useful information than “Christmas presents”.

The recipient may need to pay import duties or taxes. A parcel marked as a gift is not automatically exempt, so check the destination’s requirements before sending.

How to pack a gift for shipping on Christmas

PACKING TIPS

How to pack a Christmas gift for courier delivery?

You can still make your present look special. Wrap the gift first, then protect it inside a sturdy cardboard shipping box. Decorative paper, ribbons and gift bags should stay inside the outer packaging.

  • •

    Cushion each present separately, especially when packing several gifts together.

  • •

    Keep heavier items away from anything they could crush.

  • •

    Fill empty spaces so the contents cannot move around.

  • •

    Seal the box securely with packaging tape and attach the label as instructed.
