HotSnail would like to remind its customers wishing to send christmas presents to family and friends overseas not to miss the boat, with deadlines fast approaching for postage via Sea Mail.
Sea Mail is the cheapest way to send larger parcels overseas, and many high tech devices containing lithium batteries can not be sent via Air Mail but people need to plan ahead to take advantage of these features.
The Sea Mail closing date for gifts being sent to the UK is 21st of September, while most of mainland europe is one week later on 28 September.
If you need to send gifts to South America you'll have to prepare even sooner as some deadlines are as early as the 17th of August.
All Sea Mail departs from Sydney, so if you are sending from interstate then time needs to be allowed for its trip to Sydney.
Please consider if your parcel is suitable for postage as some dangerous items cannot be posted, please consult your local post office for more information.
