Calendar orders are despatched within 5-10 days of receipt of your order and usually quicker. If the order is made up of several products we hold the order until all items are ready to despatch so that you only receive one parcel. Most calendars are available from mid September but some 2010 calendar orders may be delayed if titles are late. Football team calendars are invariably late because design and production of the calendar does not start until after the August transfer window. All items are packed in our own specially designed packaging that has been developed to minimise the risk of damage in transit. Orders are despatched via Royal Mail Second Class post until 2 weeks prior to Christmas when parcels are sent First Class.
