    Are your customers worth the money?
    just bung a stamp on and blame RM for them being late
    If you have a mail centre locally,post the cards in the box/pillar box nearby
    SD will work. However what if they aren't in
    will your customers be happy collecting the item after xmas?

    If you have email addresses, send them e-cards instead (as personalised as you can, naturally) ?

    As very few customers are worth £6.22 each - especially when they come with a sign that effectively reads "wellmeaning but incompetent"...

    Come on. Its Christmas!
    Not to mention the mass of badly addressed/written cards that slow down sorting

    Stick a stamp on it and post them now. They won't know you forgot, it's Christmas, everything slows down this time of year lol. Just blame RM.

    Last year I got a Christmas card in April, the date stamped on it was 14th December!
