Latest order date for courier delivery

Although we haven't used Royal Mail for some time for our deliveries, the majority of courier services have been affected by the ongoing strike action which is having a massive effect on the country's post. Whether you agree with the strikes or not, there is no denying that businesses are again having to work around them and come up with alternative plans.

We have made the decision to have our latest order date to ensure Christmas delivery as 18 December. Anything ordered after this date for postal delivery will still be sent straight away but we are unable to guarantee it will arrive before 25 December.

Largely the time it takes to receive a delivery is out of our hands but this of course does not affect our free local delivery option or click and collect.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any queries.

Christmas Late Night Shopping

We're excited to be taking part in the forthcoming late night shopping events organised by Whitley Bay Chamber of Trade on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd December.

We will be open until 7pm on both evenings, possibly extended until 8pm if enough of you are still out and about by then.

We're also giving away a free gift with every purchase made during both evenings, while stocks last of course.

Times are tough for everyone at the moment, businesses included. But Whitley Bay is made of strong stuff and we are looking forward to seeing as many of you supporting your local shops as possible. Shopping on your high street has never been more important.

For more information on what to expect during the evenings, check out the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/563883785510879.

Queen Elizabeth II

All of us at Hamiedog Menswear join the rest of the country and indeed the rest of the world to express our extreme sadness at the passing of our wonderful Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen dedicated over 70 years of her life to serving others and whilst this moment in our country's history is incredibly moving, it is also an opportunity to celebrate the full life of our much loved monarch and everything she has achieved in her 96 years.

As we start a new era with King Charles III stepping up to follow the impeccable job that his mother has completed, we extend our deepest sympathies to the Royal Family and hope that they all are able to find time to grieve in private outside of their intense public duties which still must take place during this time.

Our regular store opening times may be affected by the schedules in place over the coming weeks and we are sure that you will all understand if we make the decision to close in respect. In the meantime, we have a small display in our shop windows to mark this sad occasion and our in-store music will be carefully chosen during the period of mourning ahead of us.

Rest in peace, Ma'am. God save the King.
