Researching holidays, finding out where to go and what time of the year can be time consuming. ipostparcels.com have taken a look into this and have put together a little holiday timeline which will help advise you on where’s best to go, at specific times of the year.
Spring Break
Spring’s a great time of the year to visit places such as Morocco, Egypt and Italy, all short haul flights and nice and warm. African Safaris are also cheap this time of the year due to it being the wet season.
Summer Holidays
We don’t always get as much sun as we’d like during the summer season in the UK and some other destinations can be too hot for example Dubai and Egypt can be unbearably hot. Why not try Europe; you’ll get gorgeous weather, culture and landscapes from the likes of Sicily and Sardinia. Italy is also a personal favourite of our top delivery man, Parcel Pete.
Autumn Days
Temperatures become a lot more reasonable during the autumn term for destinations such as Dubai. You can still get a tan without being uncomfortably hot. We also recommend the Far East, they’ll be coming out of their wet season towards the end of autumn and the likes of Thailand and Malaysia are a must.
Winter Warmers
Escape the winter blues to warmer climes like Barbados, Jamaica, Cuba and Mexico. Prices may be slightly high but definitely worth it for the gorgeous beaches and crystal clear sea. If not, skiing is great this time of the year in Europe.
So there you have it, take a break from sending parcels and start booking your holidays, Parcel Pete certainly will be. Keep a look out on our Facebook and Twitter pages to see where in the world Parcel Pete will be visiting….
Christmas is a great time of the year; woolly jumpers, mistletoe and mulled wine along with some festive cheer to help make it a merry time for all. However it can also be the busiest time of the year, here at ipostparcels.com we’ve put together some simple tips to help you get through the Christmas rush.
Christmas Shopping:
It’s always best to get it done early but that’s never usually the case! To help make that last minute Christmas shopping that little less stressful we suggest you put a list together of all the people you’re buying for along with possible gift ideas and sit back from the comfort of your sofa and do a bit of online shopping. If you’re adamant to go into the shops then leave the car at home and take public transport, the hassle of finding a parking space will stress you out before you even get into the shops.
Travel:
Try and book train tickets in advance for the best price. If you’re driving far, check your route before you set off to avoid any road works and delays. AA route planner is a good for identifying the quickest route to your destination.
Christmas Delivery:
Always check the delivery schedule for websites you purchase from. If you’re sending a parcel then and want to be sure on delivery then check out our Christmas Delivery Schedule.
Stock up:
As well making sure you have your main Christmas food bits and pieces don’t forget to stock up on the essentials such as bread, milk and sugar. Another good tip is to freeze separate portions of food, such as fried garlic, onion, bacon or pancetta to be added at the last minute to gravies and vegetables.
Other than that, make sure you all have a very merry Christmas! Remember to check out our Christmas Delivery schedule before you book your parcel delivery.
