Does anyone know if we can go to local postal delivery office and ask for our post?

I mean to say just normal post not any missed deliveries of packages

all the people who live in London are badly affected. Following is from royal mail. My credit card was charged on 12th but i haven't received my reference letter till now. :( I know someone whose special delivery didn't get delivered for last 3 days. Although royal mail says it is not affected "...

Hello everyone I just went to post office to ask if strike affects recorded delivery and they confirmed that there is a delay of 1-2 weeks on recorded delivery as it is normal 1st or 2nd class only additional service is that it can be tracked. Special delivery is not affected Home office return docu...

Just print them as normal one print per page

I excluded 67-73 but kept the initial ones

thanks tipu

but i sent my documents to DURHAM and on my credit card statement the transaction appear as HOMEOFFICE CROYDON. i think they will tell me in email where to pick it from.

And then i should search for suitable courier in that area.

Is there anyone else here who had experience of asking for a courier pickup after they have applied.

any senior member who has seen any problems with this

Now you should expect a positive response in 4-6 weeks.

Have you included self addressed envelope. i didn't do it and i am worried about looming postal strike. i haven't received the reference number yet, once i receive it i will probably ask for courier pickup.

but this condition does not apply for extention cases. so anyone who has applied for tier 1 before the rule change can extend their visa on old rules.

Tipu and InUkOnHsmp

will you request for courier pickup again or just leave it on Homeoffice's recorded delivery?

Thanks alot tipu, I will fax them once i get my reference number. I presume that they provide address to pickup as well because the one we use for posting is just a PO Box number. Can you please tell which courier you have used. Reading the forums there is another issue of signing. Homeoffice offici...

I didn't attach self addressed envelope and i am feeling bad about atleast if i have done that for special delivery it is handled slightly better than other post. Homeoffice uses normal recorded delivery, but imagine if it gets stuck at the bottom of the pile and it takes weeks to clear that because...

Can anyone tell me if it is good idea to interfere with it and ask them for a courier pickup. does anyone have previous experience of doing that.

Please let me know i am confused of doing that but i have also seen the pictures of agency worker sorting post on the footpath.

Yes "gotcha" is right. i have checked royal mail website at 9 AM in the morning and it confirmed that my application is delivered and then i checked the available credit on my credit card and saw they have taken the money. It does take 3 working days to appear as a transaction but your cre...
