Christmas Gifts Delivery

Every December, the same story repeats across London. Homes fill with wrapped gifts, suitcases burst with chocolates and surprises, and families try to make sure every present reaches its destination on time. But between shopping lists, work deadlines, and the unpredictable British weather, sending gifts can easily turn into a race against the clock.

That’s where Postal & Courier Etc steps in. A small London-based courier and postal shop with a big heart, Postal & Courier Etc makes it easy for you to send Christmas gifts, cards, and parcels anywhere in the UK, the US, or abroad without the holiday stress.

Why Christmas Shipping Gets Stressful and How We Make It Simple

Christmas is joyful, but it can also be hectic. Long queues at the post office, missed delivery deadlines, and parcels that disappear somewhere between Kentish Town and Kolkata can quickly turn festive excitement into frustration. At Postal & Courier Etc, we understand that feeling. We often see customers walk in with last-minute gifts, half-wrapped boxes, and worried faces, unsure if their parcels will arrive on time. That is exactly why we built our service around one simple promise: to make sending your Christmas gifts easy, stress-free, and filled with care.

Send joy, not stress.

Here is how we make that happen:

Friendly walk-in service. You will meet real people who listen and help you.
Multiple courier options. We work with DHL, UPS, FedEx, DPD, and Parcelforce, so you can choose what suits you best.
Same-day dispatch. Drop your parcel by the afternoon, and we can send it out the same evening.
Honest guidance. Not sure which courier to pick? We will suggest what is fastest and most affordable for your destination.

This is what happens next: you bring your parcel, we measure and weigh it, explain your options, print the label, and take care of the rest, including customs forms if it is going abroad.
You leave with a receipt, a smile, and a working tracking link.

Affordable UK and International Gift Delivery Options

Not every Christmas gift needs to arrive overnight. Some just need a reliable and affordable route. That is why Postal & Courier Etc offers different delivery speeds and prices to fit every need.

UK Standard Delivery: Great for cards, small packages, and gift boxes inside the country. Delivery usually takes one to three working days.
UK Express or Same-Day Courier: Perfect for last-minute surprises across London or nearby cities.
International Economy: The best option if you plan early and want to save money. Delivery to Europe, Asia, or North America usually takes five to ten days.
International Express: Ideal for urgent gifts heading to the India, the USA, or anywhere else, normally delivered in two to four days.

Because we are an independent store, you can compare rates from several couriers in one place, ensuring you always get the best deal. For many of our customers, sending a parcel is more than just business—it is love packed in a box. A mother in London sending sweets to her son in Canada, a student posting handmade crafts to family in Dhaka, or a friend sending surprises to Dubai, each parcel carries a story, and we treat every one as if it belongs to our own family.

Professional Packaging and Insurance for Precious Gifts

A gift can lose its charm if it arrives damaged. One weak box or missing tape, and your Christmas candle might arrive cracked instead of glowing. To keep your parcels safe, Postal & Courier Etc offers full packaging support inside the shop. We provide:

Strong boxes of all sizes
Bubble wrap, paper fillers, and packing tape
Custom wrapping for delicate items like ornaments or glass bottles
Eco-friendly packaging on request

We also guide you on insurance and tracking. If your item is valuable or sentimental, we help you choose the right protection so you can send it with complete peace of mind.

Partnered with DHL, UPS, FedEx, and Other Trusted Couriers

We believe in working only with courier brands that people trust. That is why we partner with DHL, UPS, FedEx, DPD, and Parcelforce. Each has its own strengths:

DHL Express: Fast and reliable for international destinations, especially Asia and Europe.
UPS: Excellent tracking and customer service.
FedEx: Perfect for larger or commercial parcels.
DPD: Budget-friendly delivery across the UK with real-time tracking.
Parcelforce: Balanced choice for cost and coverage inside the UK.

You tell us where you are sending your parcel, and we help you pick the best match by speed, price, and delivery guarantee. Whether it is a small box of chocolates for Birmingham or a full suitcase heading to Bangladesh, we will find the right courier for you.

Tips for Sending Christmas Parcels Abroad from the UK

Sending parcels overseas can feel complicated, but it does not have to be. Here are a few helpful tips to make it easier:

Check destination restrictions: Some countries have limits on food, liquids, or electronics. We can help you check before you seal your box.
Use clear labeling: Always include the full name, address, postcode, and phone number of the receiver.
Add a customs declaration: For non-UK parcels, customs need a short description of what is inside and its value. We print this form for you.
Do not wrap gifts inside the parcel: Customs officers may need to inspect the items. Wrap them after they arrive.
Send early: The best time to post international gifts is early December. It saves money and avoids delays.
Track your shipment: Every parcel from us includes tracking, so you know exactly when it leaves London and when it arrives.
