Christmas post
Hi
Have searched the auspost website but can't find when the last post for cards, letters and parcels is for the UK. Would anyone know please?
Thanks
Matt

Re: Christmas post
According to Aus Post it's the end of this week for cards. But last post for Christmas never really means that in my experience, you'll probably be OK for parcels if you get a move on I would think?

Re: Christmas post
What the last post date means is, that it is the last guarenteed delivery before Christmas date.
I think Dec 1st was for cards and parcels, but I sent mine off today and I am sure they will get there in time

Re: Christmas post
I'm in complete shock :scared:
We have tried for the last 4 years to get details out of Oz post about the last posting days to UK and every time we ask, no one knows! Where did you get the details about 1st december being the last day?

Re: Christmas post
Cheers but thats seamail and not airmail and the last date was 29th September.
I've tried searching the auspost website but nothings coming up, so again 'where does the 1st december come from?'

Re: Christmas post
Thanks everyone
We're posting cards tomorrow. By the sounds of it, it will be a bit of a lottery as to whether they get there in time.
Fingers crossed.
