Christmas Delivery 2026

As the holiday season approaches, it's essential to plan and ensure that your gifts arrive on time. Please note our last posting dates provided below.

UK ORDERS (excluding Northern Ireland)

Friday 18th December*	Royal Mail Tracked 48
Monday 21st December	Royal Mail Tracked 24

*Please place your order by 12pm on 18th December for same-day dispatch. Orders placed after this time will be dispatched on Monday, 21st December.

We’ll continue posting beyond our Christmas shipping cut-off, except from 25–28th December inclusive, but cannot guarantee Christmas delivery for orders dispatched after 18th December. We recommend ordering early to allow a little extra time for delivery during the busy festive period. Our Christmas shipping dates are a guide rather than a guarantee, as postal delays can occasionally occur.

These dates are subject to change.

Please keep in mind that these dates are estimates and exclude processing times. We advise giving yourself plenty of time for delivery to avoid any disappointment.

While we strive to process and ship orders promptly, please note that once your package is in the hands of the postal service, we cannot be held responsible for any delays. The holiday season is a busy time for our postal workers, and unforeseen circumstances may arise.

Thank you for choosing The Literary Gift Shop. We appreciate your support and wish you a joyful and festive Christmas.
