I think I've ordered at least 50 certs since I heard about the price increase.  (Even I'm beginning to question my sanity ;)!)

I live in the US, and it can take more than 3 weeks for a cert to arrive.  (I'm still surprised (and pleased!) that I don't have to pay additional postage to have a cert delivered to the US.)

I ordered certs on Thursday, 1st April, and despatch was acknowledged as around the 12th, which is about 4 days more than normal.

The priority service shouldn't be affected, maybe the postal services are affected because of the holiday.

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

Hi,

If I order certs before the 6th - will I still get the certs at the reduced price?
