I suspect I may have missed it...........but does anyone know the last posting date to UK for cards (normal post- not one of those 'special' deals the English shops do!)

Its only the 5th, I am sure there will be another plane to UK before Christmas

Oooops, I forgot, its going part way by British Post Office

exactly!

I always seem to send them late, or they just don't get there, no matter how early I think I am

I bought the cards this morning...finally.......and will be writing them over the next day or so..........

Hate to say it, but posted all ours this last Monday, thought I'd ensure that they got there on time, we are taking immediate familys' when we go over for a few days before Christmas.

I saw a thread on another forum saying that someone had posted a letter in Spain last Wednesday lunchtime and it had been received in the UK on Friday!!

The postal service is certainly erratic. Letters that I send back home, and letters I receive from the UK NEVER take more than 3 working days, 2 is more usual. Not sure why it takes longer in some areas?

From here letters to the UK normally take 3 days, from the UK can easily take 6 days, although recently a PARCEL posted in the UK on a Friday afternoon was here on the Monday

cant find anything specific on the Correos web site except this page.


Correos

neither could I, and the royal mail one, which I thought might tell me last date in the other direction, therefore giving me some idea, wasn't working!

Last posting date the 12th December for ordinary letters/cards and then parcels over 1kg 10th Dec sorr!!!y.

just getting them out in time then!
