With December’s main event coming round the corner faster than a Bradley Wiggins powered Santa Pinarello, with the speed of online shopping it can be all too easy to forget that your order still has to navigate through the postal network in order to arrive at your door in time for the big day.

This year then, avoid Christmas disappointment by taking a moment to look at the last posting dates for your region, which we have listed below – dates that will guarantee delivery by Christmas if the item is in stock at point of order.

Special Delivery – Friday 21st December
Recorded – Thursday 20th December

Rest of world

Europe / US & Canada – Monday 10th December
Asia, Far East (inc Japan), Australia & New Zealand – Wednesday 5th December

Christmas closing

Always Riding will be closed for our one break of the year from December 22nd to Jan 3rd. All orders placed after 2pm UK time on December 21st will be despatched upon our return. Customer support will of course still be available throughout the period, but perhaps our usual speed at replying will be tempered by some serious Mince Pie action.
