I am getting renewal ready to be sent to TLF.
My mates on the ground and TFL in their letter are suggesting sending renewal online as a quicker and easier process but I remember reading here that online applications were delayed several weeks and someone sent by Post and received his renewed license after a week.
What are your experiences/ recommendations?

Thanks.

Mate do online, much easier and quicker. Most of information they already have anyway.

I did it by post. Recieved renewal within a week. Do it by post with special next day delivery. Pay for Post office check and send too.

I usually do it by Post.

Looking at the official stats a fair number don't renew

Post. Send and check.
Quicker.

Done it online recently and had my new license under 1 month. If you are signed up for the dbs update service, i am sure it will be 1-2 weeks which ever way!

If jobsworth find even the slightest error in your application then it will be delayed irrespective of whether it was sent by post or online.

The biggest issue is with medical form (if applicable). You must make sure that the doc has answered each and every question correctly otherwise it will go to and fro between TfL, you and your doctor.

Tbh doesn’t matter I did online for convenience and took 2 weeks. You got 3 months left anyway on your license no rush do it post/online won’t make a difference

My renewal is due on the 14th of June so 7 weeks left.

BTW
They still don't know what they're doing

On the contrary, do it as soon as possible because you never know how long TfL will take unless you are uncertain whether you intend to carry on with cabbing in 3 months time.
