I can get very impatient waiting for certs. Knowing the quarter and year is not enough for me. I like exact dates. Results.  ;D

No - sorry - I am not making myself clear - my fault!!

I have not ordered certs yet - but if I order them before the 6th April - will I still get them at the old price of £7?????

I think the holiday is affecting the priority orders. Does anyone know if postmen will be delivering tomorrow on Easter Monday or not?

Royal Mail don't usually deliver bank holidays, but private companies sometimes do.

Ive just ordered a cert for £7 and it said expected despatch of the 12th - I will be amazed if that happens!  ;D ;D

certs will be £7, as long as the online order is dated upto 23.59pm of 5th April, but please remember we are on British summertime if you are ordering from abroad.

I've ordered over 50 certificates this week

Wow, I thought I was pushing the boat out ordering about 15 or so.  Mind you, I would have ordered a lot more, but I use my husband's credit card and he might start complaining  ;D ;D although most of the ones I've ordered these last few weeks have been for his ancestors.

If I ordered one final batch today I hope I will get charged £7 each. This should be the last day of the £7 for cert cost.
