Same here.
Maybe RM are refusing to deliver them :-(
I dont see why they could not just transfer my share cert to the nominee account yesterday, would save a whole lot of hassle, and I doubt very much that they were sent yesterday.We have had our post today and have still not received the share certificates that Equiniti said were posted on Tuesday.0 -

You are mistaken.
They said they would be posted "by" 21/10/13.
(Same date they said refunds would be made by, but many already got their refund, so maybe the cert will arrive earlier too??)
You had to opt in to get a certificate, and it was clear you couldn't expect them to be sent out on Tuesday!0 -
The price has made a good recovery today, hopefully this will hold until you guys can get your certificates sold.0

1. If you have no email yet, it is highly likely you will be getting a share certificate in the post, regardless of if you think you opted for nominee account. You should check this with Equiniti on 0121 4157593
2. If you are getting a share certificate you can sign up for an X-O account and request a CREST form and send it back to them special delivery. They will allow you to do online traiding for only £5.95 per trade plust the cost of special delivery, this is cheaper than online trading with Equiniti @ £17.50.
3. Request that Equiniti send you a transfer form so you can transfer your paper certificate into the nominee account. You can then select to do online trading @ £17.50 or by using the automated telephone option for £7.50. Please be aware that the automated telephone line does not tell you how much you sold for. There is one more instant phone number you can call, but trading is £25 per trade.
Good luck everyone.
I'm also one of the unlucky ones that will have to wait for the certificate..so just trying to be positive nd want to prepare my next steps while i wait, anyone know what the quickest way to sell them will be now (the option 2 x-o, or the option 3 requesting for a transfer form) can i actually start taking further steps on any of the above options now0 -
I am doubtful whether they were sent as well.
I traded my shares on Tuesday at 4.29pm and still received my invoice confirmation the following day through the post and I live 200 miles away.
My invoice said they would post me my cheque today, so on that basis it should arrive tomorrow... I will let you all know.0 -

equiniti told me just about an hour ago that the Certificates are being posted today, which for avoidance of doubt is ThursdayI'm rather relived, I had begun to wonder what was happening to Royal Mail first class.

All we need is for someone to devise a way royalmail.com can be similar to facebook.com and anything is possible. 100 PE would make the shares £40 each ?
Instead of stamps with queen head we can auction it off so mcdonalds burgers get printed on each letter, thereby making millions
For now I reckon 5 is enough, on a bid takeover 6 or 70 -

I am not mistaken. They told me on the phone, both yesterday and today, that the certificates were posted on Tuesday. What part of "Equiniti said were posted on Tuesday" did you not understand?0 -
As you will have realised, if that is the case they mislead you!
Get on to them and ask why they are lying to people just to get them off the phone! (It's not as if they are busy or anything)0
