How long does a check take to get to you once its mailed out?

Did the IRS say they mailed it? Did you select to get a check instead of Direct Deposit? Or is Turbo Tax saying Ready to Mail? If Turbo Tax says Ready to Mail it means your tax return wasn’t filed and YOU have to print and mail it to the IRS.

Getting a check in the mail is no different from getting anything else in the mail. There is no fixed amount of time that it takes for mail to be delivered to you. It depends on where it was mailed from, where you live, and how slow the Postal Service is.
