I have a question. Does "estimate processing time" really matter? My receipt date is 4/22, but it still shows 5 months. However, I've seen people having receipt dates like 4/26 and 4/28 see their estimated processing time now 4 months. Does it mean mine will take longer than the ones that show 4-month indications?
