Passport received: 17/02/2022 (took TNT 2 days to update their tracker service, no email notification or SMS received, found by luck they are delivering today).
Documents received: 23/02/2022 (second consignment appeared on TNT tracker yesterday, originally scheduled to be delivered on 24th, but around 16:00 delivery date changed for today).

P.S. Surprisingly I did receive email notification for today's delivery.

Good luck to everyone, hope yours arrive within reasonable time.

No confirmation email or text from TNT. Despite receiving the email from HMPO that it was printed and sent on the 21st, I was only able to track it from the afternoon of the 23rd, and the delivery date was initially for the 25th. Thankfully I tracked it again last night and saw that the delivery was changed to today (the 24th), or else I might not have been in to receive it. In all, it took around 26 days from when the application was submitted online.
