Mine took 2 years.
When it arrived in the post (I opted for no ceremony or pageantry), it was badly tarnished with the ribbon and clasp unattached. My GRANBY medal arrived with the ribbon attached. I don’t ask for much, apart from a decent salary, MQs, recognition of a job well done, etc, etc, but to say that I was a little disappointed is a bit of an understatement.
Note: You have to apply for your TELIC medal - because they don’t know who went!
