It’s that time of year again when we think we have weeks and weeks until Christmas, and then suddenly it’s around the corner and we still haven’t finished our very long Christmas shopping lists.

But don’t worry, it’s not too late! We’ve rounded up the final shopping dates for our favourite retailers so you know exactly when you need to have that last order in to guarantee presents under the tree come Christmas Day.

Retailers with next day delivery:

When is the last day to shop online for guaranteed Christmas delivery?

Many UK retailers are still offering next day delivery during the busy Christmas season, so technically the last day you can shop is December 23, for delivery on December 24. If retailers aren’t guaranteeing next day delivery then the last day to shop seems to be December 22.

When is Amazon’s last day for Christmas delivery?

Famed for its fast delivery, Amazon is offering customers Christmas delivery up until December 23.

When is Royal Mail’s last day for Christmas post?

Royal Mail is offering 2nd Class postage until Friday 18 December, 1st Class postage until Monday 21 Dec and Royal Mail Tracked 24 until Tuesday 22 December.

What can I do if I’ve missed the last Christmas delivery date?

Everyone makes mistakes! If there’s no chance of a present arriving for Christmas then we recommend going digital with an experience gift or digital subscription (Netflix, Disney+, Audible) or giving your loved one an IOU and clicking that “Order” button ASAP!
