23.11.10 - Post early for Christmas
In spite of the email revolution in communications, when it comes to the season of goodwill, Islanders still prefer the traditional method of relying on the postal services for sending the compliments of the season to family and friends in the Island, the UK and overseas, making the coming weeks the busiest of the year at Jersey Post.
Gary Carroll, Service Delivery Director, said Jersey Post was delighted to be playing such an important community role at such a special time of the year for Island families.
‘We want to make sure that all items sent from Jersey, to destinations all over the world, arrive in time for people to celebrate Christmas knowing that their relations and friends in the Island are thinking of them,’ he said.

Jersey Post is reminding customers that Size-based Pricing categories apply to all items of Christmas post this year. While most standard size Christmas cards will fall within the Letter category, which starts from just 36p for local delivery, customers are reminded that they can check the size of their items using the Jersey Post measuring guide sent to all households in May. Additional copies of these guides and information booklets are available from any post office. Alternatively, more information on Size-based Pricing is available online at www.jerseypost.com/sbp.
