"'More people every year are choosing to book a courier collection to send their Christmas gifts, rather than braving long Post Office queues. That makes a lot of sense. However, the world's leading couriers have announced some surprisingly early recommended collection deadlines this year, in order to ensure parcels get to their destinations in time for Christmas Eve. Don't forget, no couriers deliver on Christmas Day itself.'"
"'There's actually less than a fortnight to go before many major Christmas destinations run out of time. Gifts destined for the Falklands (a British Overseas Territory) must be collected by 12 December, while Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Zimbabwe are all out of time after 16 December. The early 17 December date for Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka is also likely to take people by surprise.'"
Parcelhero compared major parcel companies' final courier collection dates for parcels to arrive in time for Christmas. Christmas Island (Kiritimati) had the earliest deadline: 2 December. Most common international destinations have around a fortnight left for posting, but some countries have surprisingly early recommended cut-offs. The final recommended deadline to the most common European destinations is one day earlier than last year. Many people choose courier collections rather than Post Office queues. Couriers announced early collection deadlines to ensure parcels arrive before Christmas Eve. No couriers deliver on Christmas Day. Key deadline examples: Falklands 12 December; Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Zimbabwe 16 December; Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka 17 December.
