Wills from UK government site - delay in delivery?
« on: Friday 09 August 19 17:52 BST (UK) »
Given that the price of wills had gone down to £1.50, I ordered a couple.

This was on 23rd July, estimated delivery date was 7th August.

It’s now 9th August and no sign of them. I emailed this morning but no reply as yet.

Have any other rootschatters experienced a delay since the price reduction? I am wondering if they are snowed under with requests.

I should have also received some UK wills today but no sign of them.  Maybe they are overwhelmed with all the requests.  I certainly wouldn't have ordered them had they not reduced the price.

I ordered 32 on the 26th July. The first batch arrived on the 28th and the next batch on the 31st. There are now only 6 outstanding and they are showing an estimated delivery date 10th August, so I have been pleased with how quickly they are turning round orders.

I ordered 2 wills on 23rd July with an estimated delivery date of 7th August- one arrived today, still waiting for the other. I ordered 3 more this afternoon and got an estimated delivery date of 24th August. I guess they have been overwhelmed.
