N.B. When you're using special delivery - which you'll mostly have to if you've left it this late - the courier/Royal Mail needs somebody to sign for it. No signature, no delivery - so it might be better to get your present delivered to work, or at least somewhere where you can guarantee there will be someone in to receive it.
