True, never thought of that really as mine had always arrived in a good condition. Guess I just got used to them coming in A4 - I always order from the GRO |

Yep original ones are folded, just something I always wanted to be careful about. |

I'd like to bet that any original certs you may be lucky to have, are folded.......several times! |

I find the folded certs arrive in better condition than the A4s used to. |

I don't mind getting folded certs. Whenever I send to the local offices I always send small SAEs and get some folded in 4!! |

The last 2 I ordered not long before xmas came folded in a smaller envelope. One looked like it had a little knaw mark on to that went through a bit of the envelope and on the certificate. |

I have found it infuriating as on death certs. the fold is right on the "cause of death"..... not easy to read at the best of times, but with a big fold down the middle it dos`nt help....... I`d rather pay the extra on the price and get them back to larger envelopes and NO folds...... |

Thought it was probably due to cost, just a bit disappointed that's all! |

Yes...it's all to do with the cost. |

Yes it might have something to do with the way the Royal Mail now charge extra postage for larger envelopes |

Yes Laura, it's because of the new postal charges for 'Large Envelopes'. To post an A4 envelope now costs more. |

7 certs arrived in the post for me today - yay! I'm really excited, but also a bit miffed as instead of coming in A4 envelopes, they've come in smaller ones, meaning each cert is folded in half. |
