Credit Cards Companies - Why does it take so long for them to send you your cards!

Applied for 3-4 cards over the last 5 weeks and all have been approved, however why the hell does it take some off these companies so long to get the card to you.

Sky Credit Card - Search done 18th June - Still no card
Tesco Credit Card - Search done 28th June - Had cards for 10 days
Nationwide - Bank Account - Search 3rd July - Received everything
Egg Credit Card - Search done on 11th July - Still no card
Goldfish Credit Card - Search done 13th July - No card - No communication

Have sorted out Sky and done the BT, understand there has been Postal strikes (Bl**dy Unions) but you can blame that for the total delay.

I work in the industry and can't believe how crap some of these companies are at getting your cards out there.

Anyone else experienced this?

    My nationwide card arrived within seven days,i haven't had any of the others but there are lots of complaints here on the forum about them.M&S is another one that takes a month,mostly the cards arrive 10-14 days.
    Give customer services a ring and complain and ask for a extra month at 0% for the delay.
    Don't ask don't get!
