Once a check is already sent out by the IRS how long does it take to receive it in the mail? All the answers that I see say 3-5 business dats but that's not correct.

My IRS gov stated it was sent on the 6th of March and people are saying it takes 3-5 business days? I didn't recieve anything at all in the mail today!

The IRS states that a mailed check will take up to 2 weeks to reach you from the day the IRS mails it.

Is that just two weeks in general or 14 business days?
