2025 Christmas Shipping Deadlines – Made In Hemp Delivery Guide
Christmas gifting should feel joyful, not stressful. To help you plan ahead, we have put together a simple guide to the 2025 Australia Post Christmas delivery cut-off dates, with an additional two-day buffer for our own dispatch time from Long Jetty on the Central Coast of NSW.
Whether you are shopping for hemp clothing, natural skincare made in-store, bamboo basics, or thoughtful stocking stuffers, this guide will help you order in time for Christmas Day across Australia and key international destinations.

How Our Christmas Dispatch Works
All Made In Hemp orders are picked, packed and dispatched from our Long Jetty store on the NSW Central Coast. We are a small, family-run team, so we have allowed a two-day processing buffer on top of Australia Post’s official Christmas sending dates. This means the dates below are the latest we recommend placing your order to give us time to carefully prepare your parcel and lodge it with Australia Post.
- Orders are packed on business days (Monday to Friday).
- We use Australia Post for both Parcel Post and Express Post services.
- Ordering earlier is always safer, especially for regional, remote or international locations.
- Express Post is strongly recommended for WA, NT, parts of QLD and last-minute gifts.

Click & Collect – Long Jetty and Islington
Prefer to pick up your Christmas gifts in person, or need something at the very last minute? Click and collect is available from both of our Made In Hemp stores.
Store hours may vary slightly in the lead-up to Christmas. We will keep our Google Business listings and social media updated with any changes to opening times.
Why Ordering Early Matters
Many of our most popular hemp clothing styles, bamboo basics and handmade skincare products are produced in small batches and sell out quickly in the lead up to Christmas. Ordering early means:
- You have the best chance of securing preferred sizes, colours and scents.
- Your parcel is more likely to arrive comfortably before Christmas Day.
- You can choose slower, lower-impact shipping options without stressing about timing.
Every order helps support a small Australian family business, ethical hemp and bamboo production, and our ongoing journey as licensed Australian hemp growers working toward using our own harvests in future skincare lines.
