It's approaching that time of year once more, so it's time to get the Xmas orders put together and sent in ready for wrapping and chucking under your festive flora of choice!  Royal Mail have just released their postage deadlines, so here's our annual list of deadlines for Xmas orders.

Don't forget, if anyone is wanting any 10mm goodness to be waiting in their stockings this year, you will need to get your orders into us before:

Don't forget, if you don't get your order in before these dates, then we cannot guarantee that it will be there in time for Christmas morning, so get them in as soon as possible!

You've gone and done it now Leon - you mentioned the C word.... I now have to start giving things serious thought about what to buy for whom and then leave it till the 24th to do!

Socks and a jumper again?

I would have thought  a tank top for his Centurion would be more suitable than a jumper
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I suspect a typo somewhere as 2nd November was a Saturday so more likely it refers to Monday 2nd December?

Wow, the US postal service sucks!

I guess in a couple of years the Royal Mail will have dropped to that standard.

I love the Royal Mail. When you live on your own & have no-one to sign for stuff the Royal Mail are a pleasure to deal with.
