Every December we get messages asking whether a custom gift can still arrive by Christmas. Here's how the timing works, so you can plan.
Three things take time
- Modelling if you don't have a file: from a few hours to a few days, including your approval.
- Printing: small items within a day or two; large or multi-colour pieces longer, and the queue grows in December.
- Delivery: Australia Post publishes Christmas send-by dates each year. Regional areas, WA, NT and Tasmania need extra days.
Our recommendation
- Personalised designs: order by the end of November.
- Ready-to-print designs with a name added: early December for most capital cities.
- Sydney pickup: the latest option, subject to our schedule.
Your quote always includes a ready date and a delivery estimate for your postcode, so you know before you pay.
