Its Christmas, and we are starting to getting in the festive spirit here at Railwaysenics. Listed below are our last posting dates for deliveries before Christmas, and our office opening and closing dates over the festive period.
Check the final postage dates for Royal Mail, Parcelforce and Evri below to ensure your package arrives in time for the festive season. Post early for Christmas to avoid any disruption.
These last posting dates are meant as a guide and are not guaranteed unless stated. Please be aware that external factors beyond our control, such as adverse weather conditions may delay your orders.
Our last order dates are based on normal conditions, so in exceptional conditions, it might happen that your order arrives after Christmas despite you ordering before the date provided. We recommend placing your order as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
May we take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and a BIG THANK YOU for using Railwayscenics in 2023.
We have again decided to close for the days between the Christmas Bank Holidays and the New Year. The website will be open and taking orders, but no orders will be posted until after the New Year.
We will not be available to answer the telephone but there will be an answering machine so you can leave a message. We also will not be replying to emails whilst we are closed.
