Week & a half but that's because the Christmas was smack dab in the middle. First update was on Dec 20 then following was Dec 31 it updated twice. It went from manufacturing pending to mailed in about 4 hrs.

Mailed paperwork on October 22nd. After 82 days, I finally have my first update. It was driving me crazy until I came across this forum and saw that I wasn't alone. I had tried to email my paperwork but the system must have been down. I mailed everything in. For those of you that are just applying and may be considering mailing, I recommend that you request "delivery confirmation" from the post office. This one extra step will take a lot of pain out of the process. If you have to wait almost three months for an update, at least you'll know that it wasn't lost in the mail.

Day 82 and it says mailed. Kind of odd, since it's a Saturday. I'll take it though. Maybe by the end of next week...
