Guernsey Post is urging islanders to be aware of the growing demand for its services over the festive period, with posties expected to deliver more than 750,000 parcels during the festive period.
The utility is reporting a 5% increase in parcel volumes for November when compared to last year, and a 2% increase overall for 2025.
The company has announced an expansion of its team with ten Christmas casuals employed to help ensure “deliveries run efficiently throughout the festive season and into early January”.
Steve Sheridan, the Chief Executive of Guernsey Post, said: “Shopping patterns have evolved, with fewer sharp daily spikes but a steady build-up in demand as we approach Christmas. Our myUKaddress service continues to perform strongly, and demand remains high for popular retailers like eBay, Zara, Vinted, and TikTok Shop, as well as our new Primark Click & Collect option, which has been a real hit with customers.
“The recent uplift is a positive sign that customers are shopping with confidence this festive season.”
Mr Sheridan added: “Our teams are working tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly. With volumes trending upward in recent weeks, we remain focused on delivering a reliable, efficient service for customers throughout this busy period.”
Information on the last recommended posting dates and details of reduced-rate Christmas stamps, available for local posting until 19 December, is available on the Guernsey Post website HERE.
