Label Planet
Here's our despatch & delivery advice for last minute orders of Christmas labels (for delivery before Christmas).
Christmas Labels – Opening Hours & Contact Information
We will be open all this week until 5pm on Friday 21st December.
Our office hours are 9am to 5pm and you can contact our Customer Service Team by email ([email protected]) or phone (01270 668076).
Christmas Labels – Stock Availability & Despatch Estimates
Stocked items (25 sheet minimum) are available for same day despatch.
If you order 500+ sheets of a stocked item, same day despatch will rely on stock availability.
Made to order items have a 500 sheet minimum order quantity. Our manufacturing time is currently 5-7 working days, which means that we cannot supply these items before January 2019.
We are able to offer same day despatch on orders placed before 3pm (250-500 sheets) or 4pm (25-225 sheets).
Christmas Labels – Delivery Options
Small orders (25-225 sheets) despatch via Royal Mail’s First Class service.
While Royal Mail AIM to deliver first class items next day, this is not guaranteed and – at this time of year – the service does experience delays. We do NOT recommend relying on standard delivery if you need to receive your order before Christmas.
We offer a special delivery option; this uses Royal Mail’s Special Delivery Guaranteed service, which guarantees delivery by 1pm on the next working day. You can upgrade to this service online or by phone.
Please note that orders to the Republic of Ireland use Royal Mail’s International Standard Service; the last posting date for Christmas Delivery was Tuesday 18th December, which means that these orders will no longer arrive before Christmas.
Large orders (250+ sheets) are despatched via next working day carrier (UK Mainland) or 2 working day carrier (Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, and the Channel Islands).
