Is there any way to check online and see if the FAA has mailed or sent your permanent certificate?

As of Today 2 minutes ago: "We are currently processing permanent Airmen Certificates for temporary certificates that were issued approximately July 25, 2015."
 
I just added a type recently. That sentence on the FAA site is a rough guess at best (I did my checkride on 7/21 and I have had my permanent for a couple weeks).

What I did was every once and a while login and look myself up. One day I noticed it had my new type and date on it. A couple days later I had the permanent certificate.

Once it updates on the website you'll have it in a matter of days.

There is a phone number on that website you can call if you think there has been an error or are just wondering if yours got skipped over.

I had to call it this summer when my ATP certificate was delayed. The system said they were processing applications several weeks past mine, and I still didn't have mine. It turned out the FAA had apparently sent it back to the company for a correction, but the company didn't know.

So if the system is processing applications past yours, you might want to call them.

Thanks. I tried to call and worked my way through the automated system only to get a long recording of something like this, "please go online and submit a form to send a new certificate out to you, ....etc."

Do you have the phone number by chance?
 
FWIW, just renewed my CFI in July and got it a few days ago. 60 days is about what they're running.
