Mine should arrive tomorrow or maybe Monday or Tuesday. God I will be jolly relieved when they do finally, I say finally arrive.

I wonder if the mad rush of orders has dropped since 6th April??

I ordered by e-mail and received an acknowledgement that it would be despatched by 29 March. It arrived today and the certificate was dated 7 April 2010.

My priority one was a bit late due to the holiday but when it did arrive it was dated for the day before it arrived.

Ordered 12 certs on 23 March via web and all assigned despatch date of 30th March.
1 arrived yesterday (8th) and 5 this morning - all well worth the wait.

They do say the waiting is part of the fun at times. It is worth it in the end.
