The pre-Christmas period is a time filled with many responsibilities. So we don't always have time to make sure everything is ready for Christmas. Norwegian Post is well aware of this. To prevent situations in which parcels with gifts for Christmas (and beyond) do not reach the recipient on time, it has set deadlines that will guarantee timely delivery of parcels. Therefore, if we want our parcels to reach their recipients before Christmas, it is worth getting acquainted with the deadlines for sending them.
Deadlines for sending parcels before Christmas
The deadlines for sending parcels that are to reach the recipients before Christmas have been published by the Norwegian Post on its website. They apply to both Poles living in Norway, as well as native Norwegians. These deadlines apply not only to the parcels themselves but also to Christmas greeting cards. However, Norwegian Post employees warn: the pre-Christmas period is a very busy time. Sending a parcel or a Christmas card that is to reach the recipient before December 24 should therefore be sent slightly in advance.
Norwegian Post: Why are the deadlines for shipping parcels and Christmas cards published?
The reason why the Norwegian Post has decided to publish a list of deadlines for sending parcels and Christmas cards is the increased traffic at the post office. In the pre-holiday season, we use postal services much more often. We send not only packages with Christmas gifts, but also greeting cards.
What are the deadlines for shipping parcels and Christmas cards in Norway?
The deadlines to ensure that parcels are delivered to recipients before Christmas have been divided by Norwegian Post into two sections. The first one concerns letters and small parcels, the second one - larger parcels. The deadlines for submitting both of these sections are as follows:
Letters and small packages:
- Nordic countries: December 15,
- rest of Europe, including Poland: December 13,
- Canada and the USA: December 11
- Rest of the world: December 4.
Donuts:
- Nordic countries: December 13,
- Poland: December 9.
Summarizing ...
The Norwegian Post Office ensures that if parcels and letters are finally posted on these dates, they will certainly reach their addressees before Christmas.
