Update 3
Received my BRP on 6 October.

The Home Office send BRP's with DX Courier Services. When I didn't get mine for a few days, I contacted DX to let me know if I had a failed delivery (I live in an apartment and courier services can't access the mail room to leave a delivery failure card). They confirmed that they had tried to deliver earlier and left a failed delivery card (although I didn't find any). I asked them for the tracking number and had it redirected to my work address. Thought this might help others here. Good luck all!

A useful tip, never book tickets in advance and if you case is straight forward, do everything to chase UKVI if you are suffering delays as the they are very good in 8 week service standards
