I too have ordered 4 certs that have come before the said dispatch date, much better because i'm so impatient!

It's ALWAYS a good time to order certificates from local record offices - most have a turn round time of 2/3 days and they are exceedingly helpful, I use them in preference to the GRO and have never been disappointed (but there's a first time for everything!!! LOL)

Ordered a birth certificate on 4th Dec from GRO, dispatch date was 12th but it arrived on 11th. So they are obviously slack at the moment. Julia
