For many of us, Christmas Day is a spectacular occasion.
It’s a chance to spend quality time with family or friends, eat delicious food, wear festive sweaters, maybe have a drink or two – and, more often than not, delve into a large pile of gifts.
Unless, of course, you do all of your Christmas shopping online at the last minute and none of your presents arrive on time. It’s not at all magical.
Fortunately, many merchants provide a precise date by which you must place your Christmas shopping order, ensuring that your items will be under the tree on December 25.
So, when is the final day to purchase a present in 2021, a year marked by Covid limitations and severe supply shortages?
So far, Royal Mail, Amazon, John Lewis, and other large merchants have issued statements…

Send a package by Special Delivery Guaranteed on Thursday, December 23 if you want it to arrive by Christmas Day.
That’s putting it mildly. However, until Wednesday, December 22nd, you may ship via Royal Mail Tracked 24 Hours.
By Tuesday, December 21, first-class mail, including first-class signed-for parcels and Royal Mail Tracked 48 Hours, must be dispatched.
By Saturday, December 18, all second-class mail (including signed-for) must be delivered.
You’ll also need to be aware of the opening hours of your local post office so that you can send it out on the correct day.
These are also the shipping dates for the United Kingdom. International Christmas dates are considerably earlier, and you can see them all at Royal Mail’s most recent Christmas 2021 posting dates.

The final day for most Amazon orders to be delivered before Christmas is Thursday, December 23.
However, if you have Amazon Prime, you may be able to use Same Day Delivery to send certain gifts as late as Friday, December 24.
It should explicitly specify when the item is scheduled to arrive, so you can double-check before clicking ‘purchase.’
Even with Prime, you won’t be able to place a last-minute order on December 25, the big day.

Standard delivery products ordered before 7 p.m. on December 19 will arrive in early January.
