If you ordered from the GRO then I would phone them and ask. I have always found them very helpful. |

What delivery time did you specify? I remember when I rang them up when mine hadn't turned up, they said they wouldn't be considered "missing" unless they hadn't arrived ten days after the dispatch date. (If you've ordered through the GRO, they usually give you an estimated dispatch date - sometimes up to three days after you've ordered if it's not the priority service.) |

I felt flush once and ordered 7 certificates. They arrived in three lots. They had had problems with the last one which they ended up having to type the details because it wouldn't scan. (They'd tried three times unsuccessfully) |

One person doesn't deal with the order for all of your certificates if they are for a mix of birth, marriage and death. They will all go to different departments or areas at the GRO, so it depends on how busy each area is as to when each certificate is sent out. |

When ordering online it always gives a target desptach date. I usually add upto a week onto this. |
