Final date for posting cards to Europe
 
What is the final day for posting cards to Europe?

I haven't managed to write any christmas cards yet and on the way into the office this morning I was making a mental list of the things to be done, and to my horror I also remembered that someone told me it was Dec 4th....... which is TODAY !!!!!!


Any advances on the 4th ?

I usually mail mine in June - people are never sure if it was last year's late, or this year's early.

Hi
I had a Canada Post booklet which had an 'advisory' date of November 27th (we posted all our stuff yesterday - 3rd). In the booklet it states that mail can take up to 10 days...so my advice would be to get them posted this week...Hope this helps.... :D

i've just got back from the post office where my two parcels were going to cost £60 to send to the UK. They advised repacking and trying to make the pakages smaller. I had put all my families in one parcel and all his in another. they reckon it might be cheaper if they were several small parcels.

so i will try this approach and see, seems barmy to me but then i have noticed many odd things since i have been here! ;)
