RM 1st Class signed for?

Does anybody know how long this takes in the real world? It states 1-3 working days, but I posted the package (old passport) on Sunday @ 11:46 at my local delivery office and there has been no update since. My passport renewal can't continue until it's delivered, and I'm getting slightly anxious about it now.

I learnt from recent OcUK secret santa not to use 1st class signed for/recorded - it can take up to 14 days.

Go with special delivery in future!

I was following the instructions given to me by the Passport Office, they said....

Send us your old passport.

Use a strong envelope that is the right size for your passport. Check the weight and pay the correct postage – consider using signed for delivery. Send it to:

HM Passport Office

PEX *** *** ****
PO BOX 231

Do you have a tracking number on the receipt?

Yes, and it just says

ALWAYS use Special Delivery

Like I said above, I was following the instructions provided to me by the Passport Office. They said to use signed for, so I used signed for.
