I used Expedited Service at the post office and it took 8 days before I had it in hand. For me it was well worth the extra $60 for the ease of mind (not travelling until July 9th, and was hearing about the 10 weeks standard turnaround time).

I understand this is completely different than going to a passport office site, but for those of you that are tight on time for regular service and are curious about expedited service thought I would offer that tidbit up.
