Right, Willow, I've just sent a reminder to GRO and I'll let you know what transpires.

Hi Rosie

Just received an automated response saying there was a 2 day delay in sending certificates and that things would be back to normal week beginning 21st April.

However, I noticed this at the bottom of the message and have resent my enquiry as instructed.

If you would like to send us further emails, to avoid receiving our initial
auto-response again, please make sure you include the letters GQ , with a
space on either side, in your subject line. You will receive a personal
response.


Hopefully I will get a proper answer now.

Received my two this morning  :D ordered on 9th April, so taking about a week longer than usual. 

Still, better than a couple of years ago when the norm was 4-5 weeks  ::)
