J In future I'll wait until we're back in the UK and do same day service there. I'm not sure what you gain by doing that. It costs about the same as the Dusseldorf service but you have to hang around the passport office for hours, and you can't just turn up, you have to make an appointment at least 2 weeks in advance, sometimes more depending on time of year. If you're organised enough to do that, surely you're organised enough to get your passport shipped to Dusseldorf in good time? Obviously the best thing to do would be to use the standard renewal service while in the UK, since that's so much cheaper. I am organised enough to get the passport renewed 3 months before I need to travel. My concern was that I had been charged for the passport but after 2 weeks had not received it. On calling the help line I was told it had been issued but that wasn't true as I called them on 13th and the passport was issued 16th. I finally received it 3 days later. Getting a passport on same day service will be quicker and a lot less stressful especially for me as I live near a passport office in the UK <em>edited by DubaiCariad on 20/05/2011</em>

Just got the passport back and the date of issue 16 May, 3 days after I called them, even though I was told it had already been processed! In future I'll wait until we're back in the UK and do same day service there.

Well I called them (cost me £5 before I even spoke to anyone!) and the passport has been processed. They've given me a ref # and I'm to call back next week if I haven't received the passport. Keeping fingers crossed it will arrive soon! <em>edited by DubaiCariad on 14/05/2011</em>

Am in the same situation.... my credit card was debited on April 20th but still no passports! Think I will wait til Fri too although I know and understand that I would have been contacted if there was a problem, just find it rather odd that it's taking so long... I know there were 2 long weekends with Easter & the royal wedding so I'm hoping it's just that and not a problem. Will wait until Friday and then call them :)

I’ve tried doing a search but only come up with furniture makers in Qatar. I’m looking for recommendations for good, reasonably priced furniture makers. I’ve been looking for an entryway cabinet and new lounge suite in the stores but can’t find anything I like or if I do like something it doesn’t fit, so I've decided to get some made instead. I’m not entirely sure if I need an upholster, a carpenter or both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
