When should you order gifts to receive them before Christmas?
Starting point. Better to plan ahead than to rush around on 23 December.
December goes by fast. Here are our guidelines for ordering at the right time and avoiding last-minute stress.
01 · The comfortable zone
Before 15 December
★safety
margin
Ordering before 15 December leaves a real margin in case of heavy demand on carriers, which are very busy at the end of the year. It's the most comfortable period to be sure of receiving your parcel in time.
02 · The tight zone
Between 16 and 20 December
Delivery times are generally met, but with less margin in case of unexpected carrier issues. Always check the estimated delivery time shown on the product page when ordering.
03 · After 20 December
The risk-free solution: the gift card
After this date, the e-gift card remains the most reliable solution: it arrives instantly by email, without depending on any carrier.
