Royal Mail last post for Christmas 2018: When is the cut off point for UK mail and abroad?

So you've wrapped the presents and written the cards - now all that's left to do is send everything to your loved ones.

But with Christmas less than two weeks' away, many will start to panic that it's now too late to post anything this year.

But don't fret yet, because you still have some time left to get things sent in the post - but you will have to be quick about it.
