Passport received: 29 May 2021 at 11:19 am- It was out for delivery on the 28th, but for some reason TNT didn’t deliver it. At the end of the day their system updated the delivery date to 29th. On the 29th they just put it in letter box outside my building, didn’t even ring the bell. No notification was sent when it was delivered. It wasn’t worth waiting inside the house for 2 days.
Documents received: 8 June 2021 at 9:21am - Again TNT told me that they were out for delivery and didn't attempt deliver. On 4th and 7th June I received an out for delivery notification, but it went back to the delivery station at the end of the day, they did not attempt to deliver. On the 8th they put the docs in my post box and didn't ring the bell. My certificate isn't as perfect as when I sent it to them, but it wasn't ripped or in bad shape. I'm fine with the slight bends and folds in it.

My journey is finally over. Good luck to everyone still waiting. Thank you everyone for answering and asking questions. This forum has been so valuable to me from Tier 2 to ILR to Citizenship.
