Cardiff's a great place - I have been there a couple of times.  Very, very dear friends are in Dinas Powys.  You're spoiled, receiving mail on Saturday!
Ballydw, thank you for your kindness.

so sorry Heywood ...  I'll refrain from posting until I have something (hopefully) concrete.  ;) 
Definitely a test of one's patience ...
The next time I order a certificate, I'll use someone in Cardiff's address!  ;)

I did wonder about that! You would get them quicker as we could scan and email them....

I likely won't need to order any others Deirdre, but thank you - I do believe that the address has to match that of the credit card account.  In any event, they should be arriving soon - they might be crossing the Atlantic in a canoe.  ;)  GRO should cut-back on their postal and paper expenses and send the certificates via email, for those who request it ...  in my humble opinion ...  ;)

No worries Carole, hopefully they'll arrive in a few days. But yes, I agree with the certs, it would be great (and cheaper) if we could simply have electronic copies for family history purposes.

Thanks Iluleah - The GRO confirmation that I received after ordering the certs indicated a "Despatch date of 21/5" (est).
I wait ...  and try very hard to be patient ...
