Send early
The rule is simple here. The earlier you send your gifts, the cheaper the service. It is already too late to use Royal Mail’s lowest-priced option for most overseas destinations but there are still plenty of other services including standard, international tracked and signature to choose from. The cutoff dates vary by country. For example, it is 1 December for Australia and New Zealand, 10 December for the US, Canada and Poland, and 14 December for France, so consult the Royal Mail website.
