He was getting miffed at that point, then 2 days later it was in UK and the next day it was delivered to the grandson. Ironically, a week to 10 days after DH posted his item, I posted a large letter to the same grandson and he got it the day before he got the DH's = nothing special, not tracked, just mailed! But I did get a letter a few days ago from UK which had been posted on 27 March!!! It's totally up the creek! Yep, I got an Easter card from the UK a couple of weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it’s happened before - we had a Christmas 2018 card from my neice that turned up in JUNE 2019. The good news is, I’ve finally had an email from the UK passport office to say that my passport is on it’s way. It hasn’t arrived of course, but at least I know they’ve sent it. I was a bit bemused when they emailed to tell me my application for a new passport had been accepted ... I had hoped there was no doubt about that part! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to renew mine but the website is saying not to apply unless you need to travel urgently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for my daughter about 6 weeks ago, never heard anything for 4 weeks so rang them up explained I needed to travel then I got it back within the week.

Thought it would take forever, but it was due to expire on June 22nd and I couldn’t see the situation ending any time soon, so I sent it off. I got an email about four weeks later to say they had received it, then two emails apologizing for the delay at approx two week intervals, then an email saying my application had been accepted and my passport was being printed. Then the other day has an email saying it has been sent off to me.. So they do at least keep you informed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
