I have just ordered three certs today, with estimate of 8th May. I waited way beyond estimated time last time. Have they caught themselves up again? Thanks

The date they give is the date they (estimate they will) send it, not the date it should arrive. Always allow 2-3 working days from that date :)

;0) Ooooh I'll reserve judgement then. At a bit of a full stop til they arrive and want to get moving again. How long after WDYTYA last year did it take to go back to normality ?

A couple of months I think. However, someone mentioned that the Ancestry BMD has something to do with the backlog this time as well, so it'll probably take longer.

i don't think it was the programme this time i think its because you can search the BMD index for free I ordered about 10 that I wouldn't have done if not free to search Jeanette

I had one out of 4 arrive today. Dispatch date was yesterday, so hopefully the others will turn up tomorrow. Julia

I ordered one with despatch date 10th April, arrived yesterday (11th April), so they seem to be on track, just a very long wait before the despatch date. Kath. x

The best thing to do is to 'forget' you ordered them. I have one which I destroyed all knowledge of - I can't remember whether I ordered it or not, - SO - IF it arrives I will be very pleasantly surprised but at least I am not 'waiting' for it. Works for me. Dea x

I think Sue Johnstone's programme was the best out of both series. Kath. x
