I have just ordered by phone from southport and was told by the agent that there was a slight delay on the normal delivery times 3-4 days, I hope this is of help to some of you Linda P |

Cert arrived today. It wasn't done until 5th and posted out 6th. They obviously have a backlog. In which case they should add a couple of days to the post out date they give when you order. |

I've ordered about 12 from GRO and although the despatch date printed on the slip usually ties up with the predicted date, the postmark is sometimes a day later and it takes two days from Southport to Chelmsford on first class post. |

Slight delay on Southport waiting times is an underestimate! They are supposed to put certs in the post within 4 days, which normally means delivery withing 6. But I have regularly had to wait over 2 weeks for certs ordered since the beginning of the year. There was a lot of media publicity about 1837 online and family history generally in early Jan and it must have impacted on demand. On the good side, online certificate ordering is still a pilot for GRO and this must surely convince them it is worth continuing with. |
