My application was approved on the 13th, so expected it maybe to be printed Tues or Wednesday - but it still seems stuck on approved - any ideas on how long this can take?

Just to complete the loop, I received my daughter's renewal passport in hand on Saturday 2nd April. Printing and approval dates below
Passport printed 8:40pm on 28 March 2022
Application approved 5:23pm on 23 March 2022
From what I learnt, TNT move pretty quickly once they have it, it's about 2 days to deliver (can be shorter). Real issue is HMPO backlog, takes forever to print and then when printed there is a delay while they put in envelope and print label for delivery etc. Whole thing was a nightmare. Will definitely pay for a fast track option next time
Passport printed 1:59am on 30 March 2022

I was able to track on tnt from 2 April (didn’t receive a message from them) and passport arrived safely yesterday 4th April.
