So what have you got that I haven't then, if I get 14 days and you get 8!!  Did you slip them an extra £5.

Hi Kerry and Carol,
my maths is not that bad :(, the waiting time is eight working days, as in not including Saturday or Sunday, as I ordered after 5pm, it is as if I didn't order until tomorrow,
Don't know why I got 8 days, but as the last certs I ordered got lost on route, went to Cork then back to Southhampton and finally arrived in Dublin three weeks after they were dispatched, I won't be holding my breath,
Just hope they will be the right ones after all that.
Carol, happy birthday in advance

Just ordered 3 death certs from GRO.  Estimated despatch date  :'( 27 Feb 2006.  Seems a long way away.

Oh well,  knew they'd be busy just now.

Sally

Still waiting.  Not 27th until next week, and that's despatch date. Expect will take couple of days after that.

Why is it that the more interested you are in the contents, the longer they take to get to you. 

There must be some scientific formula to it....... ;D ;D

I always try to use the local registry offices (only possible if you live in the UK) they are quick, cheaper and you get a personal service.
