Christmas is on the horizon. (Swear it starts earlier every year!) To help you get your Christmas shopping sorted, we’ve got our delivery cut-off dates detailed for you in this article.
These dates are subject to change, so bookmark this page or keep the tab open. Whatever you need to not miss out!
8Pack and Infin8 Systems
Our 8Pack and Infin8 PCs are a masterclass in gaming performance. They also require a long time to build and test. If you were hoping to put one of these PCs under the tree this year, you’ll need to get your order in soon! The cut-off date is:
Thursday 31st October 2024
8Pack and Infin8 PCs ordered after this point will not arrive in time for Christmas. Better get browsing!
Renda PCs
Similarly, our Renda professional PC range requires time to build, configure, and test. You can’t wait for the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future to motivate your professional upgrades on Christmas Eve! The cut-off date for our Renda PCs is:
Thursday 31st October 2024
Renda PCs ordered after this point will not arrive in time for Christmas. I guess this makes Overclockers UK Jacob Marley, warning you to get your orders in!
Custom PCs
Our custom-built gaming PCs are always in high demand, so we want to make sure they are performing optimally before they are sent out to you. As such, the custom gaming PC cut-off date is:
Sunday 1st December 2024
Custom PCs ordered after this point will not arrive in time for Christmas, so get a wriggle on!
What about Pre-Built Gaming PCs?
Of course, we also have a growing range of pre-built PCs. We have the Refract Gaming range and now a select number of our OcUK Gaming PCs are pre-built, too. One of the things we love to tell you about these PCs, other than the fact they are hand-crafted for different gaming styles, is that they are eligible for next-day delivery. After Sunday 1st December, this is still true. Breathe easy, you still have plenty of time. Pre-built gaming PCs fall under the standard Christmas delivery cut-off dates, listed below.
It should be noted that they are only available for next-day delivery whilst stocks last.

New Year Delivery
Should your Christmas money be burning a hole in your pocket and you need to treat yourself after the big day, here are the delivery cut-off dates for that weird week between Christmas and New Years. (We totally understand, an Overclockers UK gift voucher wouldn’t last long in our hands either.)
As already stated, orders placed after 5pm Monday 23rd December will be delivered from Friday 27th December.
Due to the expected high order volume and bank holidays, Next Day Delivery will not be available from Monday 23rd December 2024 to Sunday 5th January 2025. Next Day Delivery will resume from Monday 6th January 2025.
