GRO Certificates
« on: Thursday 22 April 10 14:38 BST (UK) »
Two of my certificates came today. I ordered them on deadline day and i was in a bit of a rush so i am glad they are the right ones. Still waiting for quite a few so i can't wait until tomorrow or Saturday.  ;D

It will give me something to do over the weekend!

Hi

When did you order them?

I actually had a dream last night that my 5th April orders arrived but when I woke up no such luck.

Still waiting for mine ordered on 4th April. 

Once they have cleared those ordered prior to the price increase they will probably be sat twiddling their thumbs!

The 2 certs ordered from GRO on 1 April arrived today.  Dates produced 20 April.  

The ones I ordered from Lancashire aren't coming from that office as now outside local area (as mentioned on other thread).  I have had to re-order from GRO at new price.  

The thing that annoys me is that I was only told this week but, when I look at the account I charged them to, the amount was refunded the same day.  Had I known that on 5 April I could have re-ordered at £7.00 per cert.

I had a refund come through today for one on which I used the checking service.

I am so going to miss that facility, when you have a common name in your tree it certainly made it easier.

Fingers crossed the other certs I ordered may be enroute :)
