No problem, Atkinsons is cheeper but expect 3-5days at least, I know someone who just ordered a monster box that was instock to be told 14days! cheeky. Uk Bullion costs abit more but speedy delivery. 

An order for a popular 1 oz gold coin on Atk. that was in stock didn't get posted until 12 days later and that was possibly because I chased them up.
They seem to be running well behind whilst at the same time showing very little inventory so that's kind of strange.
I also just ordered some new sovereigns for the first time with Sharps Pixley because they were cheaper than Atkinsons - that really surprised me.

Yeah I ordered an empty monster box last night and got the "delayed" email this morning

They do have a banner at the top of the site that says they are 7-10 days behind.

The email is just generic as a further measure to the above.

Always been good for me, some has taken a week or so and some has come in a couple of days.

I am pretty sure all dealers have a disclaimer at the minute saying they are behind due to demand and/or lack of staff due to not being able to get extra bodies into packing areas due to social distancing.
