Given the problems experienced last Christmas by many online shoppers last year
when purchases were delivered after 25th December, online charity shops need to 
judge their Christmas last orders date just right.

Charity Christmas card shop Charitycards.co.uk has placed helpful information on
its site for shoppers leaving it late. “Don’t forget to check the last order dates
for Christmas 2000!”, their site warns. The site clearly states its last order dates,
and helpfully adds information from the Royal Mail about last posting dates and 
the impact of railway disruption on deliveries.
