Christmas Opening Times
After another unpredictable year for everyone, we would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers for their support.
From us all at The Handle Studio Ltd, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Our office and warehouse will be closed from 3pm on Monday the 22nd December 2025, and will reopen again on at 9am on Monday the 5th of January 2026. Customers will still be able to place order(s) online 24/7 during this time, but please note, these will NOT be processed for dispatch until our return on the 5th January 2026.
Collections can be still made up until we close at 3pm on the 22nd December 2025 from our showroom.
Delivery Times
As with any Christmas period, delivery times are only a guide and not set in stone due to the sheer volume our couriers and Royal Mail have to deal with.
Standard Delivery (Royal Mail) - Royal Mail has advised us that in order to attempt to get your parcel to you before Christmas using this service, your order needs to be placed before the 18th December 2025.
Our last dispatch date for standard delivery will be 2pm on the 22nd December 2025, (providing our stock levels in the warehouse allow it) this is to enable any orders placed after the 17th December to still be dispatched, and hopefully to arrive at some point over the Christmas period. We highly recommend you place your order as early as possible due to avoid any delays.
Premium Delivery (DPD Local) - In order to receive your order before Christmas, you will need to place your order before 2pm on the 22nd December 2025, (providing our stock levels in the warehouse allow it) this then should be with you the following working day, however this is not guaranteed due to the delivery volumes DPD Local will have to undertake, and can possibly take a further 1 to 2 working days to arrive.
If you are unsure about anything or have a query when you will receive your order, then please contact us by phone, email or using the online chat system, we will help you in anyway we can, during office hours up until we close on the 22nd December.
We are getting excited for 2026, as we will be bringing a lot more new and interesting products to our website from even more suppliers, to add to the already expanding website.
Please enjoy your Christmas and New Year holidays from all the staff at The Handle Studio.
