2026 Christmas Shipping Deadlines – Made In Hemp Delivery Guide
A little planning makes Christmas gifting easier. Whether you are choosing hemp clothing, bamboo basics or skincare made at our Long Jetty store, here is our guide to ordering ahead for Christmas 2026.
The dates below are our recommended order-by dates, allowing two business days for packing and dispatch before Australia Post's published sending deadlines. Please order earlier wherever possible, particularly for regional, remote and overseas addresses.
How our Christmas dispatch works
Online orders are picked, packed and dispatched from our Long Jetty store on the NSW Central Coast. Our family business allows two business days for processing during the Christmas period, and that buffer is already included in the tables below.
- Our dispatch days are Monday to Friday.
- These dates apply to in-stock items sent using the listed postal service.
- Bulk food cartons, 20L oils and orders using separate courier arrangements need individual delivery advice. Please contact us before ordering for Christmas.
Please allow extra time for your location. Australia Post's published dates assume metro origins and destinations, with Newcastle also included. Our parcels leave Long Jetty, which is not explicitly included in that guidance. Use these tables as planning dates and order earlier; contact us if timing is tight. Christmas arrival cannot be guaranteed.
