Jersey Post has announced its last posting dates for Christmas, urging residents to send gifts early to ensure they arrive in time for the holidays.
This season, Jersey Post expects to handle 30% more mail than usual across November and December. Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest days, with posties delivering up to 65,000 items on those peak days.
Julie Thomas, Managing Director of Postal & Logistics at Jersey Post, recommends posting early to all destinations to avoid delays. “We’re ready for a busy season,” she said, noting that additional staff have been hired and extra space cleared to handle larger items. "Our team will be delivering everything from food and clothing to bikes, partnering with Royal Mail, Amazon, DPD, UPS, Yodel, and others."
To accommodate the holiday rush, Jersey Post has extended hours at its Broad Street and Rue de Pres locations. A booklet with the last posting dates will be delivered to households, and dates are also available on the Jersey Post website.
Customers are encouraged to use SecureDrop, allowing parcels to be left in a safe spot if no one is home to sign for them.
Christmas-themed stamps, featuring an international twist for 2025, will be available from November 11. The stamps celebrate festive dishes from local communities, including French yule log, Polish beetroot soup, Portuguese cod, and British turkey.
Children are invited to send their letters to Santa before December 13, including a name and address so Santa’s elves can send a reply.
