Your Product Sourcing & Fulfilment Partner
Prepare your festive range without filling a warehouse or spending December packing parcels. You list the products, make the sales and send us the order details through your agreed process. We source, pick and pack each order, then arrange delivery to your customer.
Our Christmas fast shipping support gives UK online retailers, marketplace sellers and resellers a practical route through peak trading. Product availability, destination and carrier capacity affect each delivery estimate, so we confirm the relevant timescales before you publish a Christmas delivery promise.

A short dispatch time does not tell your customer when their parcel will arrive. A credible estimate must account for stock availability, order processing, picking and packing, carrier collection and final-mile delivery.
Express delivery can reduce carrier transit time where the product, address and service qualify. It cannot recover time lost through late order submission, missing customer details or unavailable stock.
Check your cut-off with us before you add a “delivery before Christmas” message to a product page, advert or marketplace listing.

Christmas cut-off dates depend on the product, dispatch route, destination and carrier service. We are confirming our Christmas 2026 peak-season timetable with our fulfilment and delivery partners. Contact us for the current estimate that applies to your planned range.
| Order type | Processing and delivery guidance | Action |
|---|---|---|
| UK standard delivery | Product and postcode dependent | Request the current cut-off before publishing a delivery date |
| UK express delivery | Available for qualifying orders and destinations | Confirm stock, service and cut-off with our team |
| Remote UK destinations | Extra transit time may apply | Provide the full delivery postcode |
| International delivery | Country, customs and carrier dependent | Check the destination estimate before accepting the order |
| Orders placed after the Christmas cut-off | Pre-Christmas arrival may no longer remain available | Give the customer the next available delivery estimate |
We distinguish between the last safe order date and a carrier’s final collection deadline. The safe date includes time for order checks, picking, packing and handover. A final carrier deadline leaves less room for stock or address issues.
Carrier estimates do not create a delivery guarantee. Weather, access restrictions, customs checks and peak network demand can affect an order after dispatch.
Confirm My Christmas Deadline
You can build a seasonal range without buying large volumes in advance. Our flexible ordering model helps you test products while reducing the risk of unsold festive stock in January.
You remain responsible for your product listings, pricing, marketing and customer service. You also need to give customers accurate delivery information based on the estimate we provide.
Traditional wholesale customers can still order stock for delivery to their own premises. You can use direct-to-customer fulfilment for one range and hold stock for another, subject to the available service for each product.
Our no minimum order quantity approach applies across our flexible wholesale offer, subject to the terms of each product or custom order. It gives startups and growing retailers room to test demand without committing thousands of pounds to seasonal inventory.
A strong festive product needs more than seasonal appeal. Check its stock position, delivery requirements and likely selling period before you list it.
Use live product information and ask us to confirm availability before you launch a campaign. Popular lines can sell through during peak trading, while some suppliers may need extra time to replenish them.
Avoid building a promotion around an unchecked stock quantity. If you expect a sales spike, share your forecast with our team so we can review the supply position.
Small, robust products tend to give you more carrier options than bulky or fragile goods. Glass, liquids, oversized parcels and products with specialist packing needs may require extra handling or a different delivery service.
Include product cost, fulfilment charges, delivery and marketplace fees in your retail price. Express shipping may help a late-season sale reach the customer, but its cost can reduce your margin.
Christmas-specific designs have a short sales window. Flexible ordering can reduce your commitment, though it cannot remove all commercial risk. Consider products with year-round uses or packaging that customers can use for birthdays and other gifting occasions.
Our range includes thousands of products across multiple retail categories. Festive opportunities may include gift packaging, parcel packaging, shopping bags, food and drink packaging, stickers, labels and suitable products from our current wholesale catalogue. Product examples and stock levels remain subject to availability.
Retailers that need branded boxes, bags or labels can explore our custom packaging options. Custom print work carries separate artwork, quantity and lead-time requirements, so place these orders ahead of standard stock lines.
Customers need a specific estimate before they pay. Place your Christmas delivery notice on the product page and repeat it at checkout. Keep the same wording in order emails and customer support responses.
“Order this item by [date] at [time] for estimated dispatch within [window]. The carrier expects delivery between [date] and [date] to eligible UK addresses. Remote postcodes may require extra time. Stock and carrier capacity apply. Orders placed after the cut-off will receive the next available delivery estimate.”
Replace each bracketed field with the information we confirm for the product and destination. Avoid “guaranteed for Christmas” unless your chosen carrier provides a suitable guaranteed service and its terms cover the order.
If an order misses the cut-off, give the customer a choice based on the available options. You may offer an express service, provide a later estimate or let the customer change their order under your store policies.
Tell us what you want to sell, where your customers live and when you plan to launch. We will help you review product availability, fulfilment suitability and the delivery information you need for your store.
Yes, we support direct-to-customer delivery for qualifying products and orders. You make the sale and submit the order through the agreed process. We handle sourcing, picking, packing and delivery. Contact us to confirm whether your chosen products suit this service.
Our flexible wholesale model lets you order without a minimum quantity across applicable products. You can test seasonal demand without purchasing large stock volumes. Product availability can change, so confirm live stock before you run a promotion.
The latest date depends on the product, delivery service and destination. We will confirm the relevant processing and carrier estimate when you provide the order details. Use the last safe order date in your customer messaging rather than relying on a carrier’s final collection.
You can use WholesaleHQ to support suitable orders from your online retail channels, subject to our service terms and any rules set by your marketplace. You control your listings, prices, marketing and customer communication.
The dispatch route can vary according to the product and fulfilment arrangement. Ask our team to confirm the shipping origin, carrier service and expected delivery window for the lines you plan to sell.
Stop new sales or update the listing as soon as you receive the stock change. For open orders, contact us so we can check replenishment timing or suitable alternatives. You remain responsible for giving your customer an updated choice under your store policies.
An express service shortens the carrier stage for eligible orders. Stock checks, processing time, postcode restrictions and carrier terms still apply. We do not promise a Christmas arrival without a confirmed service and order-specific estimate.
Yes. You can order products for delivery to your business and manage fulfilment yourself. Our direct-to-customer service gives you another option where you want us to handle individual customer orders.
We support shipping to 44 countries. Available products, costs and delivery estimates vary by destination. Customs processing may add time to international orders, so ask us to check the country before you publish a Christmas cut-off.
Build your festive range with product sourcing, flexible wholesale ordering and fulfilment support from one UK-based partner. Send us your target products, sales channel, destination and required launch date. We will help you identify the suitable next step.
