Islanders wanting to post cards and gifts to Europe and beyond in time for Christmas should do so by the end of the month, Jersey Post has advised.
The recommended deadline to send items to European destinations is 27 November, while items being sent further afield should be posted by 25 November.
Jersey Post expects to sort up to 65,000 items over the festive period.
Julie Thomas, Managing Director for Post and Logistics, said the company was ready for a “busy peak period”.
She added: “We’ve recruited extra staff and cleared the decks to increase capacity for larger items.
“Our posties will be delivering everything from food to clothes to bikes, through our partnerships with Royal Mail, Amazon, DPD, UPS, Yodel and others.”
Jersey Post is also extending opening hours at its Rue des Prés and Broad Street offices, which will be open each Saturday from 08:30 between 30 November and 21 December.
The company is also encouraging islanders to use SecureDrop, which lets customers to designate a safe place for postal carriers to leave deliveries.
Each household will receive an information booklet this month with all of the festive dates and times.
The information is also available on online HERE.
Local children are also being invited to write to the North Pole again this year.
Letters addressed to Santa can be deposited in any island post box for free until Friday 13 December.
Jersey Post said that return addresses should be included on the letters so Santa can send his replies.
