    None of this makes any difference to my original question and is therefore not relevant.
    And in the same way you chose this supplier over many other local (and fully legal) suppliers for a reason - on that basis it seems you're on your own

    Demon Plates are fully legal.

    If you posted them to the supplier yes.
    Where does The Vehicles Crime (Registration of Registration Plate Suppliers) Regulations 2008 state that ?

    6.(1) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), a registered person (other than a relevant repairer in circumstances where paragraph (9) applies) shall obtain from the prospective purchaser of a registration plate the information referred to in paragraph (2) before the sale takes place.
    No mention of how that information / documents is obtained & verified.

    I'm sure it doesn't explicitly say "Demon Plates is legal".

    But in what way are they illegal? Lots of people on this thread are making this accusation, but no-one wants to actually back it up with some facts.

    You said the legality of your plates isn't relevant.

    No mention of how that information / documents is obtained & verified.

    And how do they verify that information is correct?

    But as you like to quote the regs I'd suggest you read them first.

    Up to 7 (3) (c)

    Going back to your question about postage, I think this is a case of the seller getting his despatch and delivery messed up.

    Despatch is the time they take to send the order, delivery is the time the carrier takes to deliver. Clearly this company have either used the wrong wording or don't know the difference.

    Interesting point.

    The exact wording is:

    "Select your postage method.
    Standard - Free. Despatched in 5-7 working days
    Express - £3.99. Despatched in 2 working days"

    The postage is actually the same (Royal Mail 48 for each). It's actually express despatch, although every other part of their site suggests despatch is generally within 2 days anyway.

    There's selling number plates illegally so why should they be bothered about other legislation?
