Iphone trade in process

I recently traded in my old iphone 6S for an iphone 11. I took it to the post office (Australia) and they gave me a receipt with a tracking number. They said they would do the packaging and send it off. I just got another reminder email from Apple saying to do the trade in before the time frame runs out or else I won’t get the reimbursement. I looked up the tracking number on the receipt and it says the device is being processed at a facility in Sydney. My main question is how long does it normally take for the trade in process to be completed?
