Parcel Boxes give the Stamp of Approval for Santa Gifts

Royal Mail has revealed details of this year's Christmas stamps, which all feature postboxes.

Images for the six stamps were illustrated by Stroud-based artist Andrew Davidson. They all show traditional red-coloured postboxes, ranging from smaller ones mounted on a post or in a wall to a large one with a double posting slot. Each stamp features a cypher from the six monarchs of the last 100 years.

Mr Davidson, who has worked on more than 12 stamp issues for Royal Mail, said, "Knowing my illustrations on the 2018 Christmas stamps will be winging their way around the world delivering season's greetings to friends and family gives me a real sense of festive joy."

As normal, religious Christmas stamps of the Madonna and Child in first class and second class rates will also be available from post offices.

The Christmas stamps are on sale from Thursday, with recommended posting dates (letters and parcels) for the UK, of December 18th for second class, December 20th for first class and December 22th for special delivery.

The Royal Mail international posting dates for overseas destinations to arrive in time for Christmas 2018 are:.

  • The first international recommended posting date is for mail to Africa and the Middle East, which should be sent by Tuesday 4 December.

Are you prepared for the Christmas parcel rush?

We should realise by now that Santa’s gifts arrive in the post as well as being delivered down the chimney on Christmas Eve; but will you be in your house to receive your Christmas shopping online? It’s a bit of a problem having time off work or daring to leave your house on the day that gifts from Christmas shopping online, may arrive.

The answer is to simply purchase a parcel box from Postbox Shop, view our Parcel Box range.

Postbox Shop supply a vast number of postboxes, letterboxes and mailboxes to suit all our customer’s needs. However, shopping online is becoming increasingly popular, with one common restraint, who will be at home all day to wait for the parcel box deliveries, as they are generally too big to fit through standard letter plates. The solution is, of course, a secure and large capacity parcel box.

Our Parcel Dropbox is perfect, simply place a parcel onto the internal shelf and close the lid, which will drop it down inside the box, a section only accessible with your key. It is unique as it will accept multiple deliveries, and it can be screwed to a wall or concreted into the ground with a base plate. Our Zurich Letterbox is much smaller, however ideal for both external and internal use.

 Shop early for Christmas, but buy your parcel boxes for online deliveries (home or abroad) from Postbox Shop, first.

If you have any questions about our parcel box range, please contact our friendly team today.
