How long would it take to get display fixed?

I have a smudge on top right and few lines going across the screen.
If Apple fixed this (by replacing the whole display) how long might it take for me to get the laptop back?
How long might it take to get it fixed at a 3rd party?

I can give you an example of a battery swap out I had. I called Apple on a Thursday. The prepaid shipping box arrived the next day, Friday. I took the MacBook to FedEx that same day. It arrived in Texas on Monday. The fixed it and handed it off to FedEx the same day. FedEx delivered to me Tuesday.

A screen swap I think would take less time than a glued in battery swap, so my example should give you an idea of what to expect.

Typically less than a week, depending on how you go about it (authorized service shop, take it to apple store, or mail in)
