When I received the licence it was interesting to note that the valid from date was the Friday i.e. the day after I phoned them and I had it in my hand the following Monday! Evidently it takes three weeks for them to look at it and 24 to process it and stick in an envelope.
BTW, they use Fedex not Royal Mail, so they will give you a call after a week or so to take payment for return postage aprox £4.50 - apparently this is not covered in the £170 original fee paid, greedy
!
On a separate note, I applied for an AFPEX account two weeks ago - today I received my user name in the post and they advised the password will be sent by email in the next
WEEKS!
that return postage fee is new then, cheeky!
