I bought five certs due for dispatch 28th March. Have received four. I put it down to the mail time to Australia, but I did get the first four fairly much on time.
I am waiting for 3 certificates supposedly despatched on 4th April. Every day this week I have expected them on the mat. Unusual delay but not over worried ...... yet.
Hopefully yours and mine will arrive tomorrow ?

I don't know if this may explain it, but I wonder if it may be to do with the start of the new tax year & the huge amount of post sent out by the Inland Revenue; tax returns & stuff like that?
I'm also still awaiting delivery of 3 certificates due for despatch on 4th April, glad to know it's not just me, I thought it was unusual because they had got much better at sticking to despatch dates, mine were even arriving early a few months ago.
I thought that as well Zoe when I first saw your post but then the others confirmed they were also having problems. We did get one letter today but don't seem to have had as much post as usual this last week or so.
Gosh-- telepathy!!! one just dropped through the letter box as i finished typing my previous post!! Haven't opened it yet--hope it's the correct one!. Ella
I've just received one of the 3 due out on the 4th April, typically it's the one I was least interested in (hubby's family!). Trouble is I'm going on holiday tomorrow before the next post so I might have to phone oldest son and get him to open the others and read them out to me!
I have been sent two certs in the past three weeks. On time but NOT reference checked.Although admitting they didn't reference check, they won't refund until they have the certificate safely back!!! What if it fails to get there???
I'm also waiting for some certs. Do you think that the delay is because on April 1st the GRO became part of Identity and Passport service. Oh heck that's part of the home office.... a government department, they've probably lost them!!!
And like Carolyn it was the one I was least interested in as I'd already found a report of the inquest in a paper - I was just hoping for an informant (turned out to be the coroner)
Just waiting on the other two now
if they want to cost cut they could try sending everything in one envelope. Bet they'd save millions.
