Europe manages it instantly, or in rare cases that I've never seen in under 10 seconds. Honestly, three days is sad, its 2025, do they print it and put the boxes on a plane?

They transfer nightly xml files over FTP. It’s a whole thing.

I legit can't tell if that's a joke or not

The only joke is this oligarchs-controlled country that intentionally keeps the system as broken as possible to sell the solution.

It's a joke. They actually use FXP orchestrated by a third party, unencrypted.
It's very efficient.

Used to be XML->FTP over SSL when things were running on iron. Healthcare worked that way too (still does in some cases but the iron has been changed out for *nix)

I would guess some manually processed queue or a batch processor that requires manual intervention to correct failures.
