OCI arrived in London: how to collect?

Dear all,
My family's OCI has arrived in London, as per the online status check. I have to travel to India on 26th Nov, and was wondering whats the best way to collect the OCI from London was. Is this sufficient time to get it by post, or should I not risk it and just go and collect in person? Also do I need to take my kids for the same?
Its only that a 3 hour drive to London and a days worth of time, is what makes me want to go the postal route, but I will not risk it if ths takes a long time. I need the OCI stamped before I travel on 26th.
Any suggestions on the matter is much appreciated.
Thanks,

If you consider the recommended 10days extra through postal route, you can possibly get before you travel.

If you can take a day off, collecting personally it the best option as it gives you peace of mind for few weeks.

Hi Did all your family oci card came same time . As i applied for myself and my son . My son application is processed more faster than me ,his oci card is on his way and mine is still on scanned option.

Hello everyone,
Just to let you know that we have all recieved our OCI's by post within 10 days. Saved the hassle of going to London personally, but then I had 2-3 weeks time.
Mine and my 2 boys application were processed and issued all at the same time.
