Please could someone tell me way of payment and delivery of certificates for UK events which someone from New Zealand wishes to order?

I can help her with actual GRO reference numbers and dates, but know nothing about the actual ordering online from overseas, although I have used the online service for UK delivery.
Will some kind person advise please?

I'm sure they deliver overseas

Thanks for that TootyFruity,
I was hoping someone could advise re payment ie. conversion cost and whether all cards are acceptable.

If you are using the site for the first time you will need to complete the registration process. You will only need to go through this process the first time you use the system.

I order from Canada using a Visa card, no extra charge for postage.
Conversion cost is what the exchange rate is the day you order.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I use Visa from NZ. Depending on conversion rate it's usually about NZ$20 but may be slightly more as the price has gone up. Postage is free but allow up to two weeks from the predicted despatch date
