No additional documents requested from side. Did anyone had a similar experience recently / heard about a similar one ? How long does it usually take ?

Passport Delivery TIming
Hello All,
I had a interview on Friday 6/14 at Toronto- the VO said it'll take one week to get the passport.
the CSRA/US VISA website is still showing the status as 'Appointment'- I have opted for the premium delivery option. is there a way to find out the passport delivery status (i haven't received any email regarding the status)?
Thank you in advance

Do you know if premium processing can be a bit quicker if pickup address is the Post office just next to US Embassy, 595 Burrard St in Van Bentall Complex?
I found from some ppl that shipping with-in vancouver can take up to 3 days even when visa was approved the next day of interview?
thanks
