What is the last date to order for Christmas delivery?
To give your order the best chance of arriving before Christmas Day (25 December 2026), we recommend placing your order by the following dates:
UK Deliveries - Wednesday 2 December 2026
Applies to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
International Deliveries - Friday 20 November 2026
Applies to all countries outside the UK, including the EU, US and the rest of the world.
These deadlines take into account our estimated production time of 15 working days and the final courier collection dates.
Please note: These are recommended ordering deadlines. Delivery before Christmas cannot be guaranteed.
Which Christmas ordering deadline applies to me?
The deadline depends on where your order is being delivered, not where you live or your billing address.
For example, if you live in the UK but are sending a record to Germany, the international deadline of Friday 20 November 2026 applies.
Is Christmas delivery guaranteed if I order before the deadline?
While ordering before the recommended deadline gives your order the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas, we cannot guarantee delivery by 25 December.
Courier delays, customs clearance and other unforeseen circumstances may affect delivery times, particularly during the busy festive period.
We recommend ordering as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Can I still place an order after the Christmas deadline?
Absolutely! You can continue placing orders after the recommended Christmas deadlines.
Your order will still be manufactured and shipped as normal, but it may arrive after Christmas Day.
Do test pressings have different Christmas deadlines?
No. Test pressings follow the same manufacturing and delivery process as standard vinyl orders.
The same Christmas ordering deadlines apply to both test pressings and regular orders.
Can my order be manufactured faster to arrive before Christmas?
Unfortunately, we're unable to expedite production.
All orders go through the same manufacturing process, so we recommend ordering as early as possible to give your record the best chance of arriving before Christmas.
I'm still creating my release. Can I get it in time for Christmas?
Yes, it's possible!
Just make sure your release is fully completed and your order is placed before the recommended deadline for your delivery destination.
We recommend starting early to give yourself enough time to upload your audio, prepare your artwork and finalise your release.
I've already placed an order. Will it arrive before Christmas?
If you placed your order before the recommended deadline for your delivery country, you've ordered within the suggested Christmas timeframe.
However, delivery before Christmas isn't guaranteed, as production and shipping times can vary.
Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive a separate shipping confirmation email containing your tracking link, allowing you to follow its journey.
If I order on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, will it arrive before Christmas?
Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026, and Cyber Monday falls on Monday 30 November 2026.
For UK deliveries: Both dates fall before the Christmas ordering deadline of Wednesday 2 December, so orders placed during these promotions are still within the recommended timeframe.
For international deliveries: Both dates fall after the Christmas ordering deadline of Friday 20 November, meaning orders placed during these promotions may not arrive before Christmas.
As always, we recommend ordering as early as possible, as Christmas delivery cannot be guaranteed.
My Christmas order is delayed. What should I do?
We understand how important it is for your order to arrive on time, especially if it's intended as a Christmas gift.
Couriers are particularly busy during the festive period, so some deliveries may take longer than usual.
If your order has already been dispatched, please check the tracking link in your shipping confirmation email for the latest updates.
If your tracking hasn't updated for several days, or your order is taking longer than expected to dispatch, please contact our support team and we'll be happy to look into it for you.
