How fast can LE prep a controlled delivery?

Looking for people out there who have dealt with controlled deliveries before. What is the typical turnaround time for a controlled delivery OR time from package interception, to some sort of interaction with LE in regards to it?

Edit: A topic that is rarely discussed enough.

THAT fast.

Nah, in reality if the pack isn't open yet and is USPS, they have to get a warrant but the process can be expedited so as to take no more than a day or so. As for the actual controlled delivery, LE works very closely with the USPS and their Postal Inspector Service and they can effectively do a CD anytime at very short notice. They do try to keep any delay to a minimum though because the goal is to make the person receiving the package think that nothing is out of the ordinary.

Fast enough to make it look like regular delivery. They don't want you to have any idea.

From experience and the date on the warrant, under 36 hours.

Edit: to elaborate on time frame

Edited day 4 since I ended up elaborating below.

Same day.

A relation of mine works in cyber security for a certain big name telecom and one day, some sheriff deputy or something got hacked and his account was used to order a bunch of iPhones. DHL (not USPS so ymmv) held the package for the LEOs and conducted a CD the same day it was supposed to be delivered.
