I posted an application to them on Fri 3rd, which was signed for on Monday 6th.
I got a receipt back on Sat 11th, stating a receipt date of Thurs 9th.
Now, when trying to figure out when I might get my licence back (if they like my face / money / credit card), do I use the date I know they got it, or the date they claim to have received it, or any other date....
We are only talking 3 days difference though! So, hey ho - it will arrive soon (ish).
