Deadline for Christmas gift delivery

If you’d like your gift to arrive before Christmas Day (rather than becoming a Boxing Day anecdote), please place your order by 2pm on Monday 22 December.

This gives my jolly elves* time to pack it properly and wing it down to the local post office, where Steve the postman and his long-suffering crew will shepherd it on its way for delivery on Tuesday – luck permitting and weather gods willing.

Anything ordered after 2pm risks eating into our margin for error.  So once again, clearly and without embellishment:

2pm, Monday 22 December.

*NB: We do not, in fact, employ elves. That would be cruel, exploitative, and a paperwork nightmare.
