These deadlines apply if your package should arrive before Christmas Eve - Last-Minute Christmas Delivery Deadlines You Can’t Ignore in 2025
Christmas delivery deadlines are fast approaching for major couriers. DHL, DPD, and Hermes have set strict cut-off dates for domestic and international shipments. Customers need to act quickly to ensure parcels arrive by December 24, 2025.
For domestic deliveries, DHL advises sending parcels by December 20, 2025. Last-minute shipments can still be accepted until December 22. DPD and Hermes both require domestic packages to be handed in by noon on December 19, 2025.
Customers must check each courier’s specific deadlines to avoid delays. Missing these dates could mean parcels arrive after Christmas. Planning ahead ensures gifts and shipments reach their destinations on time.
