If you are thinking about buying your gifts online this year, it could be worth getting a move on with your orders to be sure that your gifts arrive before December 25. Although it’s predicted that Brits will spend over £32 billion on online purchases this festive season, according to Statista, many retailers have struggled this year with logistics issues and long delivery timelines, so things could take a little longer to arrive than usual.
We have gathered the final ordering dates for standard delivery from some of the biggest retailers. Many also offer shorter delivery times, but usually at an additional cost, just in case you’ve forgotten someone special from your list. Some big brands such as Marks & Spencer and Amazon are yet to announce their final delivery dates, so keep checking in for updates.
Of course, always make sure you check with the retailer directly for the exact timelines on the item you are ordering to make sure it will be delivered on time. Larger items and furniture could have much longer delivery timelines, so always check to avoid disappointment.
