Overall pretty satisfied, two weekends in between but ended up taking two weeks. If I had done it earlier in the week I believe I’d have got it in 10 days rather than 2 weeks.
Went to a local photo place here in the Middle East, had them send me a photo with WhatsApp which I uploaded to the platform. Passed with good, so no issues whatsoever.
I would have appreciated a tracking number on the platform as I just recieved a WhatsApp from DHL.
