How long are GRO certs taking?

[Jean McGurn]

I have had post after 3 pm and we only get one delivery a day. Think our village only has two posties and they have to go to the sorting office to sort out first. So I suppose it depends on which route they take.

Still I am happy I have got all mine now even though it took 17 days.

Finally my order of 27th March has arrived - 7 yesterday & 1 today.  Hooray!!
You lucky people who get your post in a morning - we have to watch the postman deliver to the other side of the road about 10.30, then wait another 3 hours before they deliver our side. We use to have to delivered at 7.30 every morning before all this change over - come back those days.

I thought postmen didn't deliver after midday.

Shouldn't hog the original thread, but quite often it's nearer to 4pm before we get our delivery.  I've complained to my MP as I thought she might pull  more weight than me - before the election was called  - but the copy letter she sent from Alan whatever his name is, who has now moved on to mess up ITV, was a complete whitewash.  I'll try again after the election, maybe the new top man, whoever he is will be more proactive.

So my order of 2nd of April should arrive next week then. I can't remember what the despatch date was now. Regarding your post - at least you get yours before 2pm, we are lucky if we do as our postie just can't be bothered to walk at any pace quicker than a snail. We know when he is off as we get our mails hours earlier.
