How long did LAPD take to mail your CCW after final approval?

Got my final approval email from LAPD on October 28 saying my CCW is done and that it’ll be mailed after payment. I already submitted the payment the same day and got the receipt, but I haven’t seen anything in the mail yet.
For anyone who went through LAPD recently:
How long did it take for your physical permit to actually show up in your mailbox?
Was it USPS, UPS, FedEx? And did you get any tracking or was it just regular mail?
Just trying to get a realistic idea of the timeframe since LAPD is super vague. Any recent experiences would help a lot — thanks.

Your physical permit doesn’t get shipped to your address you didn’t get a pick up date?

I’m in the same boat. Got approval and paid mine 11/5. Said it will be mailed
 
I got approved on 9/25/25by Lapd on the email they sent had a pick up date 10/8/25 at Lapd headquarters
 
Must be nice to get it shipped now I waited over an hour in line on my pick up date
