With Royal Mail strike action scheduled for the end of this week (Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd October) we don’t want you fancy dressers panicking about delayed deliveries of fancy dress costumes. Royal Mail have advised that they have sound contingency plans in place to try and maintain a good level of service. However, the fundamental problem is the knock on effect that the strikes will have and the delays they will cause. So here is what we recommend you do to help ensure that you are not disappointed this Halloween.

If you are worried about not receiving your fancy dress order in time we strongly advise that you choose the Next Day Delivery option. This guarantees trackable, next day delivery before 4pm on orders placed before 5pm, Monday to Friday. There are a few postcode areas where Next Day Delivery is not possible (such as the Highlands and Islands of Scotland) so please refer to our website for further details. We use a courier company called APC Overnight for our Next Day Delivery service so providing that there are no major disasters your fancy dress costumes should be in safe hands!

Royal Mail have also advised that their Special Delivery service will also be affected by the strike action. Orders placed on Friday with Next Day Delivery will be delivered before 4pm on Monday with APC Overnight couriers. For this weekend only we cannot offer Saturday delivery.

If you have any queries before placing your fancy dress order please get in touch – we’d be happy to help!
