I ordered 6 online just before new year they arrived a day early, six days after I ordered them. Bearing in mind that there was the weekend and New years day between the order and delivery. Very Quick. Sue

Hi, I ordered four on New Years Eve, e.d.d was the 8th, they came on the 6th, two days early! Mind you I then spent the next hour in floods of tears... all death certs for my g and ggg grandparents, my husband thinks I've lost the plot, he just does not understand! Lady of the Manor

Ordered mine pre xmas - on the 17th. Despatch date was given as 4th Jan and arrived here in New Zealand on the 8th....pretty prompt!.....so i'm guessing will be similar for you in Oz Louisa.

Hi all, I ordered 5 certificates on Jan 1, with despatch date Jan 8. they were actually posted Jan 4 and arrived here in Australia Jan 8. Pretty good hey! My father is disgusted as this is much quicker than letters from him - he lives 700km away. I love the GRO service! Have had this quick service a number of times before. Sharon
