EEA3&4 received today! Dated 20/06/2014!!
I am really pleased and impressed by the speedy service by HO!
Took them just a bit over a month! Well done!!
I sent EEA3 and 4 together, and included two pre-paid sign-for envelops in case they decided to return the two separately. They even included the unused pre-paid envelop in the document today, so impressed!
I included quite a lot of documents, including the essential ones and some extra ones that I thought could help, with a covering letter. For a full list of documents please see here:

I have paid by card and I don't think this has delayed my application in anyway.
One more detail that may have accelerated my application: as my EEA2 has expired in May this year, my work place contacted HO to check my application through the "UK Visa and Immigration Checking Service". HO has issued my EEA4 a couple of days after this contact was made. Not sure if this has helped.
