Delays since April...how hard would it be to put a message on their website changing 10 days to 10/12 weeks & hopefully keep everyone happy as well as not having to waste time replying to those 000s of emails which would be unnecessary.

I think the missing word is Logic.

I hope nobody has ordered recently as a xmas present

The oldest I have still waiting for fulfilment are two wills from 28th July and one from 31st July, so been quite a wait. Hopefully it will be worth it

from a blog on gov.uk website "Ordering wills

" Our  supplier is bringing in a lot more resource to clear current  applications and to process new requests more quickly, so things will  start to improve and we’ll update our guidance about expected processing  times as soon as we can be clearer about this. We’re sorry for the  inconvenience and the extra frustration that this will undoubtedly  cause."

Finally received my first order which was due by 8 August only to find the Will is missing.

The Probate paper refers to a Will "( a copy whereof is hereunto annexed)" and further on "named in the said Will".

Attached is a letter saying it is a Grant of Letters of Administration as the deceased didn't make a will.

Needless to say, it doesn't surprise me. This business has been a shambles from start to finish, overseen by incompetents. And will anyone ever be held to account? I think not.

I am going to order Wills for two or three old people in my family who haven't died yet. It's called being prepared.

On a serious note, I believed that companies weren't allowed to charge for something until dispatch? Am I wrong in thinking that?

I think that's a bit of a grey area, but I'm no expert. Mind you, who is these days?

I know some on-line retailers, such as Amazon, don't charge until it's ready for dispatch.

As for your early orders, fair comment. I like it!

Does the probate index say that there is a will or just an admin.

ele002 - so what does the National Probate Calendar actually state for your "person"?
