I did mine through the post office , can’t remember exactly how long it took , but it wasn’t 8 weeks . It was quieter then , so it has probably changed for the worse .
Convenient way of doing it though .
Tell you what I had forgot to do until today was what I use to know as E111 - My EU one had expired in June 2021. Although last time I had emergency care abroad they stuck me straight in private anyway through the travel insurance.
