Hopefully they will arrive eventually!

I have held off ordering any, I guessed they would be snowed under, so thought it better to wait awhile.

It is said that patience is a virtue, so I hope it pays off. ;D

I ordered 6 on the 29th of July, and the two more recent ones, after 2000, arrived within a week, but I'm still waiting for four older ones.

3 ordered 24th, due the 8th, zero so far.

I wasn't worried but I'm glad you posted this because I now I can see why they might be snowed under.

The will I received more or less straight away was the one after 2000 - wonder if the older wills are taking more time for some reason...although one other is from 1980's.

Me too!

Mine were due on the 8th. Looks as if they are snowed under. If we are just a sample of the numbers ordered since the price reduction they could have a huge backlog.

I'm also waiting. Ordered 4 wills on 24th July with an estimated delivery date of 8th August, but nothing received so far. I guessed they were probably snowed under, but did wonder if my order had somehow been overlooked. I emailed them yesterday morning but no response as yet.
