Uzzie.
I was told that all mail to Europe goes by air,regardless.
Probably explains why you are still waiting.
I haven´t heard a word from the UK for about a week.

just to say they still not here lol


Wisechild you could be right about the airmail as there has been no post here either, not that I'm expecting anything other than the certs.

lol Tricia I wish mine were only 4 days late ...maybe I don't if I have to wait this long. Okay allowing for 6days airstrike and 5 days backlog that still puts mine LATE.
The money is already out of my bank was out the day I ordered lol

THEN........the Royal Mail have said they have bags oof mail still waiting coz of the volcano ash and the flights being down!!!!!

Hi All,
May I add, that I rang the GRO earlier today as my cert was despatch date 14th April, website says an additional 5 - 10 working day delay, which in my case has passed....so I spoke to a lovely lady who said to allow AT LEAST another two weeks to pass before expecting to recieve my cert.! So, for overseas customers I imagine that this will be longer?
Regards Caroline.
