      Have to wait until 9 April now for despatch day. Well at least there won't be a rail strike-yet!

        I ordered 20 yesterday - is it my fault?

        (Have been saving up my former "ciggy" money for some time and decided I'd use it to clear my "wish" list!)

          Mine had a dispatch date of April 1st, i thought they might take a bit longer to get here with it being Easter, looks like i will have to wait longer now.

              Good job I spotted this thread, thank you for answering a question for me... just about to ring the GRO to find out why my cert has not arrived. It was due for dispatch April 1st.... thought it was something to do with April Fool.

              We should never forget them,
              Because we would not be here today, but for them.
              We should be proud, reflect, respect and always remember them.
              Because we all have them…
              Them… were our Ancestors.

                Well I ordered 10! I am dubious about two of them.

                  20!!

                  I ordered 2, despatch date 26 March, one arrived this morning, no sign of the second.

                  Ordered another yesterday, delivery date 12 April...

                  (congrats on beating the weed, by the way )

                    At least that will be only £7/cert lost instead of £9.25!

                      Alas, none of my 20 will solve any puzzles. They are mainly death certs (I already have the burial details) and about 5 birth certs (to supplement the bp entries.)
                      If there are any errors, it will be down to a typo or two on my part - which has got to be more aggravating than ordering a "wrong" cert.

                            I ordered 9 yesterday - all death certificates - only one stab in the dark.

                            OH still trying to work out how I have saved him £20+.

                              Ordered Sunday and Monday both with the estimated 12th April despatch date - wonder when they'll arrive as I've ordered loads.

                                  I ordered 8 on the 16/3. All with dispatch of 22/3....received 2 to date ( 6/4 ).....one they refunded cause the couple wern't married to each other......back to the drawing board. Hoping the rest will arrive today.........sigh....but saved heaps..though hubby did notice the charge and queried it.

                                    I got my act together last night and ordered 4, should have been more but lack of organisation on my part meant I hadn't taken all the details to work with me. Eventually got the time to do it at 23.45! cutting it fine I think. 12th April is estimated dispatch date.......shan't hold my breath!

                                        Given the length of time it takes for GRO certs to arrive in Canada, I never bother looking at the dispatch dates - I always assume it'll take 3 or 4 weeks (and I'm seldom disappointed - or pleasantly surprised).

                                        Tim

                                        P.S. I ordered four on Sunday night - I'm not expecting any new information, just confirmation of what I already know - but if I didn't order them now, I doubt I ever would at the new price.
