Post When do we get out visas back?
Sorry if there is already a topic on this! I couldn't see one! :(

I am at school 5 days of the week, and both my parents work full time. Do they deliver on Saturdays? I am really worried that I'll keep missing the courier.

No, you're right Emily. The standard delivery time, is I think, between 8am and 6pm or something vague like that. However, for an additional fee, you can request a specific time for it to be delivered.
Although, I've found that in my experience they have usually come quite early but I might just be lucky!

No I selected the free option! Time isn't the exact issue, it's the day.
I can wrangle a morning off or something, but I need to know a day. Do they let you know in advance?

I heard that they're supposed to text you the day before - but they don't always. Just gotta hope for the best :)

Ok that's cool.
Are you all at uni? Hence more time off? Or did you pay for a specific time?
