Order personalised items by 16 December 2026 and stocked items by 19 December 2026 for delivery anywhere in Australia before Christmas. Those dates are Australia Post's last safe Parcel Post lodgement, worked back through our production time.
Personalised sacks, stockings and ornaments are made after you order. Production takes three business days, then the parcel enters the post. That is why the personalised date sits three business days earlier than the stocked one.
Stocked items, which covers trees, decorations, lights and costumes, ship from an Australian warehouse the next business day.
Last order dates
- Personalised items, anywhere in Australia: 16 December 2026
- Stocked items, anywhere in Australia: 19 December 2026
- Express Post on stocked items: 22 December 2026
Every product page carries a live countdown to its own date, calculated from that product's production time rather than a single sitewide figure.
What we promise, and what we do not
What we control is dispatch, and that is what we promise. Order on or before the date shown and your parcel leaves us on time, with tracking emailed the moment it is lodged. We hold to that.
What we do not control is the carrier. Once a parcel is with Australia Post, its arrival is their network, not ours, and no retailer can honestly promise otherwise in the third week of December.
So the backstop is this: if you ordered on or before the date shown and your parcel has not arrived by 24 December, email us and we refund your shipping in full. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law sit on top of that and are not limited by it.
These dates follow Australia Post's published pattern. We confirm them against Australia Post's 2026 schedule before 1 November each year and update this page if they move.
Common questions
Can I still order after the cut-off?
Yes. Orders placed after the date still ship, we simply cannot promise pre-Christmas arrival. Express Post improves the odds on stocked items right up to 22 December.
Do remote postcodes take longer?
Yes. Remote areas of WA, NT and far north Queensland can add two to three business days. If you are outside a metro area, order a week earlier than the date shown.
Do you ship outside Australia?
No. We sell to Australian addresses only, which is what lets us hold to these dates.
Shop before the date
Personalised sacks and ornaments are made to order, so they close first. Trees, decorations and lights ship from an Australian warehouse and close later.
