I got a 221g for damaged passport (washed - doh!) - does anyone know roughly how long is normal for courier to collect and then return the passport with visa in? Tomorrow I'm going to book a delivery time hopefully for sometime this week.

Or is it possible to go in and drop it off in person?

Lost me... :wacko:

You're going to book a collection, not delivery. Do you still have that DX link I gave you a few days ago? They should be able to come an collect your passport the next day after you notify them to come get it. It's up to London to get around to doing your visa and then hand it over to DX to take back to you.

London will not accept hand delivery. DX is their trusted contracted courier. It's about security. You might be handing in a passport bomb.

Ahh yes, my bad. :bonk:

I don't even want to know how a passport bomb would work...

Rang DX this morning and they booked me in for a collection tomorrow. It feels like it's all coming together nicely. Also, my passport is currently being built and I can collect it at 3pm. I just need to remember to bring it to work tomorrow and not fall in the canal on the way!!
