Yes, we canceled the trip on Friday and got the passports the next Wednesday. According to Hubs, they're telling people up to four weeks for expedited; for the record, it took five for ours.
Yet my parents were at the post office the other day and the people in line in front of them were there for passports, and the PO officials were still telling them two weeks for expedited. My parents warned them that it would probably take longer and told them what had happened to us. The people's trip was only three weeks away; they'd never get the passports in time.
To me, that's just irresponsible to tell people two weeks when the guv'ment knows it will be longer. At least if they tell them now, they'll have time to cancel the trip and get at least a partial refund.
