Christmas 2026 Order-By Dates: Get Your Stubbyz in Time
Christmas is our busiest time of year, and Australia Post is flat out too. To make sure your Stubbyz arrive before the big day, order by these dates.
Recommended order-by dates
| Sending to | Parcel Post, order by | Express Post, order by |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | Monday 14 December | Friday 18 December |
| New Zealand | Monday 7 December | Wednesday 16 December |
| United Kingdom and Europe | Monday 30 November | Monday 14 December |
| Canada and rest of world | Friday 27 November | Friday 11 December |
| Custom and bulk orders (Australia) | Wednesday 25 November | |
These are our own recommendations. They allow for our dispatch time of 1 to 2 working days and are set a little earlier than Australia Post's official cut-offs, which are published at auspost.com.au/christmas. If you live in a regional or remote area, allow a few extra days.
How dispatch works in December
- In stock orders leave Melbourne in 1 to 2 working days, often the same day.
- Custom and bulk orders are made to order and need 7 to 10 working days before they ship. For Christmas delivery in Australia, order by Wednesday 25 November.
- Express Post is offered on every order at checkout. Rates are calculated live by Australia Post from your address and the weight of your order.
