Royal Mail and Parcelforce dates are their published last recommended posting dates for Christmas 2026 (royalmail.com, files dated 13 October 2026) and can change. Items marked “Our suggestion” are cushion dates we picked, not official deadlines. Remote postcodes, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands may need earlier dates. Check Royal Mail before you post.
