Dunnes Stores Christmas Delivery and Collection Slots Now Open
Dunnes Stores has officially opened its Christmas delivery and Click and Collect slots, urging customers to secure their bookings immediately for the period between December 20 and 23. The retailer has highlighted that essential festive items like turkeys cannot be added to standard weekly slots, necessitating early planning to avoid missing out on guaranteed delivery times before the holiday rush.
Dunnes Stores has officially opened its Christmas delivery and Click and Collect slots, prompting an urgent call for shoppers to secure their bookings as the festive period approaches. The retailer announced that special slots are available for the critical window between December 20 and 23, advising customers to act quickly before availability runs out.
A key distinction for this year’s festive shopping is that certain high-demand products, specifically Christmas turkeys, cannot be added to regular weekly delivery slots. Customers must reserve a dedicated Christmas slot to include these items in their orders. Once a slot is confirmed, shoppers can begin adding goods to their cart, with the flexibility to update or modify their orders up until 11 pm the day before the scheduled delivery or collection.
For those opting for home delivery, a minimum order value of €30 applies. However, customers choosing the Click and Collect service face no such minimum requirement. The retailer has also clarified operational limitations during the peak days; same-day Click and Collect will not be available between December 21 and 23. Furthermore, all delivery and collection services will be suspended on December 24, 25, and 26.
The store has outlined specific cutoff times for festive deliveries to ensure items arrive in time for the holiday. Orders placed up to 8:00 pm on Monday, December 21, 2026, are expected to be delivered by Wednesday, December 23, 2026. However, orders placed after this deadline will not arrive until Tuesday, December 29, 2026.
For larger items such as furniture, earlier deadlines apply. Orders placed before 4:00 pm on Friday, December 11, 2026, are expected to be delivered by Friday, December 18, 2026. The retailer noted that all delivery dates remain estimates and are subject to courier network capacity, weather conditions, customs clearance requirements where applicable, and any unforeseen operational disruptions.
Looking beyond the immediate holiday period, the store provided guidance for late orders. Home delivery and Click and Collect orders placed up to 8:00 pm on Wednesday, December 30, 2026, are expected to be delivered by Tuesday, January 5, 2027. Orders placed after this time will be delivered from Wednesday, January 6, 2027.
The opening of these slots marks the beginning of the busiest time of year for Irish households, with Dunnes Stores aiming to alleviate the stress of last-minute shopping by providing a structured booking system for festive essentials.
