I did pay for priority shipping shipping, because 4 weeks would have been cutting it close if it took that long.
The postage on the package indicated it was mailed on the 23rd, and I recieved it on the 29th… so worth $22 for priority mailing which took 6 days?.. Probably not worth it.
Actual turn around seemed to be 9 days. (14th to mailing on the 23rd.)
Submitted 7/14
Received by priority 7/29
This was NOT an expedited renewal, only priority mail.
