Merlin pass question

Hi,

first time purchasing these so have a couple of questions that the FAQ's on the website don't answer.

When buying on line why are the passes varying in price depending on where you want to collect it?

Also, if I wanted to collect the passes from e.g. Madame Tusauds as most other places are closed, I take it we wouldn't have to go in the mega queue just to buy passes?

Seems a shame there isn't an option to send you the pass via recorded delivery, if you uploaded your piccie to the website.

Oops, just one more question, how long does it take for them to issue you with the pass?

thanks in advance

    try posting in Uk days out forum. Only bit I can answer is how long it takes...... it takes about 5 mins maybe less. They take your photo with a webcam, an then print it straightaway.
    The prices may differ as they offer two types, a standard with restrictions and a normal one. Or because the place with lower price maybe having a sale. We got ours a few yrs ago at chessington as they were having a sale.
