1. When will my order be dispatched?
We will ask you when you want your order sent. The dispatch date is the day we post your order, and NOT the day it should arrive. If you order cards which are to be sent back to you, we will also include a blank envelope for you to use.
The following dispatch dates are relevant to when you order:
2. How will my order be delivered?
Cards, A2 and A1 sized Wrapping Paper have the option of 1st class post or our trackable deliveries.
Rolls of Wrapping Paper and all Banners are sent by tracked 24 or 48 hour courier due to their size and weight.
All printed products sent by Royal Mail First Class mail - we expect 90% of all orders to arrive the next working day, however, it may take up to 3 working days to arrive, particularly during peak periods. Royal Mail first class isn’t trackable. If you require a quicker delivery service, you should use our 24 or 48 Hour Tracked Delivery option (see below).
Orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri) are sent out the same day (except Bank Hols).
Items sent 24 or 48 Hour Tracked Delivery require a signature*. To avoid having to collect the package from the depot, or it being redelivered at a later date, please ensure that there is someone available to sign at the delivery address, or have it delivered to a work address.
It is recommended that you allow as much time as possible for your order to be delivered and where possible you should include a Postcode or Zip.
Queen's Funeral - 19th September 2022
As a mark of respect, we will not be despatching orders on Monday 19th September to allow us to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Postal Strike Information (updated)
Royal Mail have announced an extensive amount of national strike action
days:
Friday 30 September 2022 and Saturday 1 October 2022
Thursday 13 October 2022
Thursday 20 October 2022
Tuesday 25 October 2022
Monday 28 November 2022
Further dates have also been announced for functional strike action which
impacts parts of our operation on the following:
Processing, Distribution, International, Collections, Admin: 3, 9, 15,
24 November and 1 December 2022
Delivery: 4, 10, 16, 25 November and 2 December 2022
Network: 2, 8, 14, 23, 30 November 2022
We’re sorry this strike action is likely to cause you some disruption
to us and fellow small businesses over what is usually the busiest season
of the year.
Please be aware that during these days there will be no post delivered
so orders will be delayed. We will be posting as normal on these days,
and will send all your orders (unless another option is chosen) via Royal
Mail First Class but there will be delays that none of us can do anything
about.
There will be an option of sending via courier at checkout if you would
like to avoid the delays and need your order sooner.
Royal Mail will not be delivering letters (with exception of Special Delivery
ones) on the days that the strikes are taking place. Other items posted
the day before, during the strike action or on the days afterwards may
well be subject to delay.
The best approach throughout this time seems to be to plan ahead and post
early where you can. You can keep up-to-date or find out more about the
latest industrial action by visiting https://bit.ly/3SpO7m3
We will be using another method of postage during this time, so if you
need things quicker please make sure you choose this option at checkout
to avoid these delays.
If you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at
info@domandgeri.com or direct message us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter
and we will try our best to solve your problem as soon as we can.
