It's been a busier year than usual for An Post as online sales and home deliveries skyrocketed during lockdown.
And as Christmas creeps closer, they're encouraging the public to get cards and any post sent as quickly as possible.
The closest deadline for seasonal postage to continents outside Europe is in only days - December 7.
If you're planning on sending anything to Europe, you also have a limited amount of time to get it organised.
An Post spokeswoman said: "With COVID restrictions, unprecedented mail volumes and uncertain weather conditions around the world we are urging people to get posting as soon as possible.
"Be sure to include a full and correct postal address, along with your return address on the top left corner of all cards and gifts that you are sending. Also be sure to wrap gifts well with plenty tape and packing to protect them during transit.
Latest Dates of Posting:
USA, Canada, Asia, New Zealand - 7 December
Rest of Europe - 12 December
Great Britain - 18 December
Northern Ireland - 19 December
Ireland - 21 December
