Christmas 2024 delivery deadlines
With free delivery, the Christmas deadline is around 13 December for framed maps, and 15 December for unframed maps.
Orders after these dates may still arrive in time for Christmas, up until around 18 December, but it will be riskier with every passing day.
The deadlines for specific countries are further down this page.
Express Delivery (available at checkout in most countries) will speed up delivery by 1 or 2 days. As we get closer to Christmas, express couriers will be more reliable than postal services.
Large framed maps (40in/100cm+) can take longer to make, and they are harder to deliver. I recommend buying these as soon as possible. But you should be fine up until 15th December.
If you order a personalised or custom made map, it will usually take 3 or 4 days to make. Please factor this into the delivery time. My custom and personalised maps are very popular, and there is a backlog of orders. Orders with express delivery may still be delivered by Christmas, but it is not guaranteed.
Please get in touch if you want to discuss the delivery deadline for a specific order or country.

In Singapore, you can order framed and unframed maps up until 20 December. Orders after this date may still arrive in time, but it is safer to contact me first.
In the United Arab Emirates, you can order framed and unframed maps safely up until 20 December.
In Australia, it depends a bit on where you live, but 14 December is the 'safe' cut off. You should be fine for a few more days after that, though, and express delivery (available at checkout) can add 1-2 days to the deadline.
In Canada, it depends on where you live, but 13 December should be the 'safe' cut off. If you are in a major metro area, you should be fine for a few more days after that, and express delivery (at checkout) will give you another 1-2 days.

Last minute Christmas gift delivery
If you really need a map to arrive in time, and you've left it quite late, please get in touch and I'll do my best to help you out.
No matter where you are in the world, I can usually get a map to you in 24-48 hours, but next-day courier services are very expensive around Christmas time.
I may be able to get an unframed map to you that you can then frame locally, or with a frame ordered from Amazon.
