Holidays 2024: Important ordering and shipping/pick-up information
Yay! The holidays are just around the corner; a wonderful time full of fun, delicious food and presents! 🎁 This also means that the busiest time of the year has arrived again. So order your presents on time! 👌🏻
On this page you will find important order and shipping/pick-up information for this festive period. Very handy! 😊
Why you should order on time
Orders will be handed over to PostNL within 1 business day. During busy periods this can take up to 3 business days, because I run Cuteness.nl alone.
Around the holidays, PostNL may need more time to deliver your order due to the large number of packages. Please take this into account and order your gifts on time. This way, you won't have any stress and can enjoy the holidays!
Important dates for Saint Nicholas and Christmas
In the Netherlands, PostNL usually delivers the next day. However, due to the large number of packages, it may take a little longer. Follow the dates below to ensure that your gifts arrive on time:
| Gifts needed 👇🏻 | Order before 👇🏻 |
| Saint Nicholas Eve | Friday, November 29, 12:00 noon |
| Christmas | Thursday, December 19, 12:00 noon |
