new price for GRO certs

[BridgetM]

My GRO certs are beginning to take forever to arrive!  (I thought the problem was with the GRO; now I'm wondering if it's with the US mail.  On an order I placed 31 January, despatch date 5 February, I received one of the certs (on 25 February) but still haven't received the other two!)

I ordered mine on Friday night so they wouldnt have recieved the order until Monday so they may arrive tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks Sandra, I have added my name, I appreciate it more than likely won't change anything but you don't know until you try, and if everybody thought like that nothing would ever change!

Just out of interest Sandra did you look at the link I put up above for the accounts for the GRO that show them making a large loss at the moment - doesn't bode well for your petition

I receive mail fairly regularly from the USA; I wonder if there are problems in both directions?

We may as well try and get the best value for our money, whether in speed of delivery, cooperative service or a better product*.  Some or all of which are offered by certain Local Register Offices.

So please see if you can contribute to my thread on using local ROs.

* Never forget that the certificates issued by the GRO are scans of transcripts, and not of the original.

Thats going to be harder now that the 'Reference Checking' service will be withdrawn.

I didn't know they were withdrawing the Reference Checking service Thats going to make things very difficult for alot of people including me who have well used names like Jones, Clark Smith etc

Many of the local Register Offices will check for no additional cost, and refund in full if they cannot find a match.
