Shipping Cut-off Dates for Christmas 2025

Season’s Greetings to all our wonderful customers.  Thank you, one and all, for the amazing support you have given our small family business during 2025!

Christmas is quickly approaching, so don’t get caught out like many do each year and leave it too late for your present to arrive on time for the big day.

To help you make an informed decision, here are our recommended cut-off dates on orders for Domestic shipping based on our carrier’s (Australia Post) cutoffs and historical data*.  Also, we recommend you apply Authority to Leave on parcels at checkout where you can, as this reduces delivery issues unless you don’t have a safe place to leave it.

Click and collect from Melton West, Victoria.

Click-and-collect orders can be placed no later than noon on Monday, 22nd December, and collected up to noon on Tuesday, 23rd December 2025.

Sending parcels overseas

International sending cut-off dates vary depending on the destination via Australia Post. Parcels sent after these dates will be delivered as quickly as possible, but may not arrive until after Christmas.

Overseas deliveries may be affected by factors that are beyond our control, such as customs delays and overseas postal disruptions. We recommend sending them as early as you can, and by the cut-off dates below, so our carrier can get them there on time.

Limited Operations

Note: * Little Green Workshops cannot guarantee delivery by 25th December 2025 if you place an order after these dates.  We are also constrained by our carriers’ capacity at this very busy time of year.

Our office will be closed from midday Tuesday, 23rd December 2025, until Sunday 11th January 2026, when we will begin shipping again on Monday 12th January 2026.

Orders can still be placed, but will not be processed or shipped until we return to the office.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Gavin, Kim, & Ben!
