No Frills Knitting’s Expected Posting Dates – December 2025

As we all know, Royal Mail are very busy over the festive period so we recommend you order at your earliest convenience to ensure orders arrive in time for Christmas. As December goes on, your order may take a little longer to arrive.

Royal Mail have released their recommended posting dates for your parcel to arrive in time for Christmas, however we would recommend ordering earlier. In order to give your parcel the best chance of arriving at it’s destination by the date you want it, please remember the following information:

Royal Mail service selected at checkout	Delivery aim* (*without delays)	Last posting date for parcel to arrive in time for Christmas* (*without delays)
Royal Mail Tracked 24	1-2 Business Days	Monday 22nd December
Royal Mail Tracked 48	2-4 Business Days	Friday 19th December

 

These dates are a guide only, and No Frills Knitting cannot guarantee your parcel will arrive in time for Christmas. 

The last post collection from No Frills Knitting in 2025 is on the 23rd December but this WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas.
