renewal took 18 calendar days to be processed by the State Dept. I was notified it was shipped, with tracking, on Dec. 3 and had a delivery date of 12/6. Tracking shows it has been sitting in an Indianapolis facility since 12/5. There is now no expected delivery date. I live 175 miles from Indianapolis, a drive of 3 hours.
I ordered a book on Ebay 12/4. It's being shipped, from California, at 'book rate' and is to be delivered tomorrow.
