SEND CHRISTMAS GIFTS WITH DHL eCommerce UK

When you send Christmas gifts, you’re hopeful that they will arrive safely and on time, allowing you to mark the occasion and give to people who you otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach. 

The run-up to Christmas is often the busiest time of the year and gifts can often find themselves lost or late. Choosing DHL eCommerce UK as a Christmas courier can help you to ensure your gift arrives before the big day.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS BY POST

Save money by sending Christmas gifts by post. Drop off parcels at any of our 3,500 ServicePoints or 50+ UK wide DHL eCommerce UK depots, or book online for one of our Christmas couriers to come and pick up from your doorstep.

Your Christmas gift will be covered up to a value of £25, however you can pay for further contents insurance on your parcel. Packages will travel across hundreds or thousands of miles – so it’s key to protect your items during transit by choosing the correct size box and using cushioning filler materials.

 WHICH CHRISTMAS GIFTS CAN'T I SEND?

Popular Christmas gifts include aftershave and alcohol, both of which you won’t be able to send through the DHL eCommerce UK network. Any perishable goods or liquid cosmetics are also not able to be sent.

A number of other gift options are also on our prohibited items list, including:

• Designer items including handbags, footwear and clothing.
• Dumbbells and gym weight plates.
• Precious metals and stones like gold, silver and diamonds.
• Breakable goods like glass mirrors, pottery and china.
• Potted plants.

ENSURE CHRISTMAS GIFTS BY POST ARRIVE ON TIME

When you send Christmas gifts, there is a last day for posting the parcel for it to reach your recipient before the day. 

For sending parcels to much of Europe, the final day for posting a Christmas gift is December 14th, giving the parcel 11 days to arrive at the destination. Alternatively, if you are sending a parcel to South or North America, Africa or the Oceanic states, then the final day is December 7th. Please note that countries may have public holidays that will impact the time delivery takes - check our Christmas delivery schedule for more information.

The last posting date is when your parcel is collected from your home or dropped off at a depot – not when an order is placed.
