UK Postal services

Hi,

I had ordered a statement of Comparability from NARIC and they dispatched it on 15th April. I still haven't received it and it's holding up my application.

I had sent it via the standard airmail option. There is another option called "International Signed For" which is registered post. It's also sent via UK Royal Mail (Government mail I presume)

I am thinking of ordering a replacement statement. Does anyone know if this option comes with tracking? If so , does the tracking extend to the Indian end of the delivery chain (where I suspect the delay happens) ? The option costs 8 GPB.

The NARIC website also offers DHL courier but it's insanely expensive at 80 GBP

Royal Mail

FWIW, did you not receive the letter in "5 days" as you asserted before?

Thanks! I had googled but didn't see this page. Tracking till the letter leaving the UK isn't that useful because it's the local post office in India which causes the most delay

I had received the ELA statement in 5 days. They dispatched it on a Thursday and the letter was delivered on Tuesday. But the statement of comparability which was applied a week later hasn't yet arrived. Today was the 7th day after dispatching.

Got the SoC today. It took 10 days (5 working days) to get delivered
