Where does it tell you the estimated dispatch date? I can't see it on the order confirmation. Is it on the website? |

I used to send to Liverpool, but the waiting is just too long..if at all!! Last week i sent off for 5 certs and they arrived today..i was really impressed. Also no need for sae and cheques. It was very easy to use and i will be sending for all my certs via Southport. I was told that in the future we will be able to get certs via pc and at a fraction of the price!! Cant wait for that day..although by then i will have every cert i need! |

Helen Can you cancel your payment and go elsewhere? I was gutted recently to discover that Greater Manchester RO are no longer issuing certs for Family History purposes, and what's more, you can no longer go into the Office and wait! Seems to me the Govt is losing a valuable source of Revenue here - surely they could take on temporary Staff on a casual basis to deal with this - it would pay for itself and I for one would LOVE to work in a Registry Office!

I wish I'd known that sooner! I sent off for some yesterday via the Office for National Statistics. Their email says they've processed my payment so maybe I'll be lucky. The last lot arrived in 9 days which I thought was brilliant as I'm in the States! |

Another backlog! I thought they had sorted it! I hate to be rude, but this is ridiculous! I hate to say it, but I wish it wasn't a popular hobby, I liked it when it wasn't! LOL |

hi all, you may think i'm a pain ,but have just phoned liverpool about the certs. Guess what answer is still the same, anyone wanting certs for family history have to wait up to 12 weeks. you can guess just just how i'm feeling now , gutted |
