Default GRO Priority Service

Has anyone ever had a cert arrive within the timeframe when using priority?

I have one via standard and one priority ordered a couple of days apart and the priority one should have been here by now, penny to a pound it turns up after the standard.

I reckon it's probably more to do with the postal service than with the GRO.

My local post deliveries have been "rearranged" and my mail never comes before 3pm these days. Some days it is obvious that a few days worth of post has been saved up.

We aren't the only people with poor post. A French client had his priority mail waiting 5 days in the local depot before ever it crossed the channel.

I am trying not to get nervous about the cert I've ordered. I really want it here by next Friday
