	Slightly off topic but are there not steps underway to digitise them for online viewing?

	For £7 a pop, they should take on more staff to make sure they go out on time.

	I am waiting for three - 1 due for despatch on the 10th and 2 on the 11th. Have never had to wait over date before - in fact they usually come earlier.

Although every effort is being made to despatch all orders on time, you may experience an additional two day delay in receiving your certificate(s). We apologise for any inconvenience caused and anticipate that the service will be back to normal from the week beginning 21 April. Please note that our Priority Service is not affected and all priority orders are continuing to be despatched on time.

I've even resorted to phoning once to chase them up only to be told that miraculously they "were being processed that day" albiet several days late!
