I ordered a couple before Christmas which came in a week, but I am on an economy drive at the moment so I am banned until at least mid Feb! Won't it be quiet for them at the moment, or is everyone back to being busy with research instead of Christmas preparation? Abigail

Hi Dawn, I was at the FRO last Saturday ordering certs. I was told they would be posted out today--which will make it just over a week by the time they get here. Fingers crossed!

have any of those who were waiting for certs now received them or are you still waiting? Still waiting for mine, should have got them yesterday but hopefully they'll arrive soon given the extra delay factor.

Hi All I ordered one this week and there is a message on the OCS site stating that due to exceptional demand prompted by the success of 'Who do you think you are' - current estimation is 2 weeks to delivery - if you order in bulk they are distributing them individually to avoid delays. Hope this helps :O) Anne in Kent

I was given a despatch date of 19 Jan - I think I ordered just after New Year. Nothing's arrived as yet, though. I'm getting impatient too - just waiting for confirmation that I'm descended from a very wealthy family !!

yeah I'm awaiting a couple at the moment as well, ordered them on 12th Jan (week yesterday) but was informed not to expect them probably until the end of the month. Judging by how long some of you have been waiting, I could be in for a long wait!
