Order personalised items by 16 December and stocked items by 19 December for standard post anywhere in Australia. Outside a metro area, bring both forward by a week.
Why personalised closes earlier
Personalised items are made after you order. Three business days of production sits in front of the postal transit, so the last order date is three business days earlier than for something already sitting in a warehouse.
The dates that actually matter
- Personalised items: 16 December 2026
- Stocked items, standard post: 19 December 2026
- Stocked items, Express Post: 22 December 2026
Remote postcodes
Remote areas of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and far north Queensland routinely add two to three business days on top of published transit times, and more in the week before Christmas when volume peaks.
The safer strategy
Australians increasingly buy earlier, with a large share reporting they shopped sooner than the year before. Ordering in the first half of November costs nothing and removes the problem entirely.
