Hi..

I sent my postal application on the 1st of may 2012 and according to post office tracking it was delivered the next day 2nd May.. I planned to pay with my credit card an even checked with them to make sure that the payment would proceed ok.

It's Now the 7th an payment has yet to be taken, How long should I wait untill I contact them? Or will they contact me?

Hi Melimango :) Thanks for your reply

Are your circumstances the same as mine? Credit card payment?

I see you are a member a long time, Is this a normal amount of time to wait?

I put my credit card number down. I am no expert, only going by what I have happened to see people comment on in terms of their application timelines, but it seemed like people usually had the money taken within a few days of receipt. However you might have seen the news about the PEO IT Issues so maybe it's affecting postal apps too. I hope not.

Yeah.. I read that in the newspaper - I hope the IT thing wont slow things down.. I think I will give it a few more days before I contact them about it..

I will let you know what happens :) GOOD LUCK with your application!
