Christmas postal deadlines have arrived

Christmas parcels being delivered

The silly season has officially arrived and with Christmas Day just around the corner, the more you’re prepared, the smoother things will go, particularly when it comes to gift-giving.

Christmas is the perfect time to remind your friends and family that you’re thinking of them, but we all lead busy lives and sometimes there’s nothing like the convenience of sending your gifts via post. Especially with the surge in online shopping, it’s wise to plan ahead, particularly if you want your gifts to arrive before Christmas Day.

Fortunately, Australia Post has released the cut-off dates to help you plan ahead and make sure that your loved ones get their gifts on time. So if you plan to send your Christmas prezzies via mail, whether it be Regular (Parcel) or Express Post, be sure to check out the postal deadlines for your part of the country.
