Thank you so much for supporting ME Research UK by buying Christmas cards from our 2024 collection.

Each design comes in packs of ten cards, and you can see them below (click to see a larger size).

If you wish to purchase cards by debit or credit card, you can do that via our online shop or by calling us on 01738 451234, Monday to Friday (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
The wording inside each Christmas card reads “With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year”. On the back of each card there is a little note about our charity so your friends and family can learn more.
For many reasons, some friends or family members may not wish a physical card to be sent this year, so why not send Christmas cheer digitally? ME Research UK has registered with DontSendMeACard.com which has a fine selection of electronic cards which can be personalised and a donation made to ME Research UK.
Delivery
The cards will be sent out usually within 5 working days of receipt of your completed order form.
Please allow adequate time for postage, and we also ask that you provide a contact telephone number or email address to allow us to contact you should there be any query concerning your order.
You should allow at least 3 to 4 working days for delivery – for delivery in time for Christmas, orders should be received by 8th December. ME Research UK is not liable for any delays in items arriving by post. We may use a courier for larger deliveries and will provide them with your name, address, email and telephone number. More information on how we use your data and your rights can be found in our Privacy Policy.
As a charity, ME Research UK cannot refund any donation other than payments taken in error.
We will retain and process payment method details, contact details and Gift Aid preferences to allow us to fulfil your order and to comply with HMRC and regulatory requirements. More information on how we use your data and your rights can be found in our Privacy Policy.
Returns
If you are not satisfied with the cards supplied then the following points outline your rights under both the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 Regulations and describe what to do if you find that the order is unsatisfactory in some way or if you simply change your mind.
Basic rights
Firstly, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that within 14 days of receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.
Secondly, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected life of your product you’re entitled to the following:
- up to 30 days: if your item is faulty, then you can get a refund
- up to six months: if your faulty item can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases
- up to six years: if the item can be expected to last up to six years you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that doesn’t work, some of your money back
You don’t have a legal right to a refund or replacement just because you change your mind should you not act within the 14 days of receiving your goods under the 2013 Regulation.
This is a summary of your key rights. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website or call 03454 04 05 06.

Cancelling an order
You have the right to cancel your order for Christmas cards and/or notecards without giving any reason provided that you exercise your right no longer than 14 days from the day on which you received the cards.
