How to mail and send your Christmas Cards correctly to ensure prompt delivery

REMEMBER - DO NOT USE ROYAL MAIL LETTER BOXES

Take the following steps to have your Wirral Cards delivered and help Wirral Charities in the process:-

Step 1:  Identify which addresses on your Christmas Card List fall within our Delivery Area (which is basically the whole of the Metropolitan Borough plus Parkgate, Neston, Ness , Burton and Willaston – see below for all outlets).

Step 2:  Write your Cards (we are only permitted to deliver Christmas Cards – no other enclosures or mail) and clearly address the envelopes with the full address (the postcode would also be helpful).  Please do not use gold ink on gold envelopes, silver ink on silver envelopes etc.!!!

Step 3:  Purchase the requisite number of stamps from one of the participating outlets (see list for details) and fix one of the special 18p stamps to each envelope (note that these stamps are not valid for use in the Royal Mail;  likewise, Royal Mail stamps are not valid for use in the Charity Post).

Step 4:  Post your Charity Post in one of the special Post Boxes located at most of the outlets which sell stamps (see List for details) - do not post your Charity Post in Royal Mail Boxes.

Most addresses should receive two deliveries which are normally made during daylight hours over the weekends of 13th/14th and 20th/21st December 2008.  (Note:  in a small number of cases, particularly outlying rural areas, there may be only one delivery on the 2^nd weekend.)
