Christmas is around the corner and many of us have started buying Christmas cards to send to loved ones near and far. Every year, Royal Mail advises people post their cards as early as they can, to ensure delivery amid a very busy season for post deliverers but this Christmas, strikes are also likely to impact the delivery of cards and gifts.
This year, Royal Mail says First Class post sent as late as December 21, 2022 should make it in time for Christmas Day (December 25), however, it's very likely the delivery of Christmas cards and letters will be impacted by strikes taking place on December 23 and 24.
With this in mind, people should consider posting their cards and gifts much earlier than the advertised "last day for postage" to ensure their Christmas post arrives in time for the Big Day.
