Since we're in December already, I guess it's time to talk about Christmas...

You can see all the Royal Mail recommended posting dates HERE for  both UK and international mail. Don't forget that I post orders on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays only, so this may affect when your order is posted.

• Sat 2 December Africa, Middle East
• Wed 6 December Asia, Cyprus, Far East, Eastern Europe (except Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia)
• Thu 7 December Caribbean, Central and South America
• Sat 9 December Australia, Greece, New Zealand, Turkey
• Wed 13 December Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland
• Thu 14 December Canada, Finland, Sweden, USA
• Fri 15 December Austria, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland
• Sat 16 December Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg
• Thu 21st December United Kingdom 1st Class Mail

For international customers, if you want something before Christmas and if you're ordering near those dates, I'd recommend choosing the Tracked International Mail at checkout. That way you'll be able to see where your package is on its journey.

Royal Mail is remarkably optimistic regarding delivery to Canada, but it seems the notorious Canada Post delays only affect untracked mail. All Statuesque orders to Canada go by Tracked International Mail, so we should be all good.

I think I will make Thursday 21st my last post day before Christmas, as anything posted after this date isn't likely to get very far. I will then make post runs on Wednesday 27th and Friday 29th, assuming the Post Office is open.

The first post run of 2018 will be Friday the 5th of January.

Have a good one!
