2025 Christmas & New Year: Manufacturer Cut-Off Dates & Holiday Trading Guide
The festive season is approaching, and it’s one of the busiest periods for manufacturing, freight, and deliveries across Australia. To help you prepare and ensure your materials arrive before Christmas, we’ve compiled a full list of our manufacturers’ order cut-off dates and holiday closure schedules.
