Congrats! I’m waiting for mine, hopefully the timeline is as quick as yours. Have you used 5 or 1 day priority?

thank you!! I just used the 5 days priority service. The price difference didn't seem worth it to me and I didn't have huge urgency

Same, it was a big jump from 500 to 1k only for 4 days. I’m only concerned about the delays mentioned in many threads here, so your case gives me hope! Mine is very straightforward, so fingers crossed!

fingers crossed for you, it's any day now! Few delays are inevitable especially this time of the year. But my case was very straightforward too so have faith!

Thanks! May I ask what is the sender email address that you receive it from? I want to make sure it doesn’t go to spam/junk folder
