Our tips
- Order early. December is An Post's busiest month and deliveries can take up to 7 days in Ireland and 7 to 10 days to the UK and Europe.
- Check your names. We hand write exactly what you type, so a quick spelling check before you pay saves a lot of hassle.
- Free delivery in Ireland on orders over €70. Otherwise delivery starts from €4.99. See our delivery information for full prices.
- Missed the date? Free collection is available. Get in touch and we will do our best to help.
Dates are based on An Post's 2025 Christmas posting dates and may change for 2026. We cannot accept responsibility for delays caused by postal services.
