Last date for posting?
Anyone know when the last date for posting things back to the UK is?
Have I missed it already?
Cheers

I know my mum asked at the post office and they told her the 12th for posting to the U.S. so I would imagine its about the same for over here. I know the last few things that I have had posted over here, only took 4 days.

I mailed mine last week (remember the blonde twit that forgot the address labels) -- I thought it would take longer, but they already got them.

Mailed my parcels Nov 10th, still no sign of them yet. Mind you it was the extra super duper economy surface mail route. You get what you pay for.

I wouldn't worry too much if you miss the dates... 99% of the time whenever I mail something it it usually takes 4 days to arrive in the UK.

Yes, that's probably true but we're talking about Christmas and if it doesn't get held up/lost in the US, your mail could go through the same at the UK end.
Also, it's possible that the posties in the UK may go on strike (again) before Christmas.
