Obtaining copy of will from Gov.uk - delivery time.

Delphinium_Blue

Hello all, has anyone tried to order a copy of a Will from the Probate Search facility on the Gov.uk website. I ordered a copy of a relative's will, now Probate has been granted, and paid the £1.50 fee. It said the estimated delivery date would be 1 November but this date has now gone and I have not received the Will. They are supposed to send an email when the document is ready to download, as a pdf, but I have not heard anything from them yet. Would be interested if anyone else here has tried this service and how long it took them to receive their copy of a Will. Many thanks.

I think there have been other threads mentioning that they have quite a backlog at the moment

Fairly recent thread here:

I applied 31/8 & it was available to download 3/9

It took two days for my request to be actioned. I ordered it in October.
