The IRS sends out all refund checks via US Postal Service first class mail which takes between 1-3 business days.

I just got off the phone with the IRS and they mailed my check (even tho I selected DD and included my account and routing number) on April 1st and they said it’ll take over a month to receive it VIA postal delivery by mail?! That doesn’t seem right to me!! It should only take 3-5 business days for something to be delivered to my mailbox no matter where it’s coming from!!

How long did it take?

You are commenting on an older thread that may have outdated information.  TurboTax cannot estimate how long it will take for you to receive your refund check.  The best way to track this is the Where's My Refund site from the IRS.  Also, please see the FAQ here from the IRS on refunds. 

Do you remember how long it took to receive the check after mailed. This year WMR says it was mailed June 10th. Did you have to wait a crazy amount of time?

How long did it takes to receive check

This is an old thread ... doubt anyone will answer you.   The IRS sends mail first class however the office they send it from and where you live will determine how long a check will take to come in the mail.  Expect it to take 2 weeks or more and be thrilled if it shows up faster.
