Also stuck on approved but called HMPO this morning and they confirmed its printed so I should contact TNT. TNT have no trace on their system so assumption is it hasn’t been picked up yet. Approved on 17 March but TNT have said to all for 7 days.
Your assumption is correct, it appears TNT collecting it is what triggers the printed update. I suspect they have a finite capacity in their system per day and as more and more are printed they get stacked up and the delay after approval is in fact TNT not being able to do the job they got contracted to do in a reasonable time frame! No doubt another example of the cheapest bid getting the contract!
