Changing address on V5 - how long for DVLA at the moment?

I work for a small charity. We moved office and a few weeks ago I sent off three V5's for our vans to have the registered address changed. Has anyone done a V5 address change recently and how long did it take?
When I moved house last December the one for my car was back really fast - I think it was only about a week. I'm guessing, like most government agencies, there's COVID-based delays?
Just hoping they didn't get lost in the post as I sent all three in one envelope. *sigh*

Changing V5c can now be done online.
If you have the required info it will be worth doing it now.

Likely around 2 months if they are starting to catch up. One sent off early July arrived back end Sept.
