I have been working with a very helpful supervisor at sb and here's the info on checks: Checks under $1000 are being sent by DHL. Now it is not clear as to what the "processing" time is - like I said, it helps to talk to a CS supervisor and not just a regular rep to expedite your processing. But once DHL checks are sent out, it takes 3-5 days - in this case mine arrived in 4 days from the email. Out of interest, I went on dhl.com and entered the tracking number on my envelope - the package left from Las Vegas on 4/5/07 (3 days after my "sent" email) and was at my door today (California).
Checks over $1000 can only be sent by regular mail. My guess is that DHL will not insure any shipment for more than $1,000. I am waiting on two checks over 1K that were sent by regular mail on April 4th. I received two confirmation e-mails (1 for each check) and also received personal email confirmations from the CS supervisor. The CS supervisor believes that checks will actually arrive sooner than the wires would which is why he recommended that option to me. Now, since the DHL shipment left from Las Vegas, I am guessing that the regular mail shipment would leave from Las Vegas also, so it shouldn't take 2-3 weeks, unless Interbill just holds on to the money for a while before sending it - wouldn't be surprising. However, the CS supervisor I have been speaking with thought it would be less than 2 weeks though he didn't want to give me a false guarantee.
So that's my situation. I'll post again when (hopefully) I receive the other two checks. I wouldn't charge back at this point based on the fact that myself and others have gotten checks and Trun's, Mark's, and other's wires have hit. SB wouldn't pay selectively, it's either pay or no-pay. Seems like they are in "pay, but slowly" mode.
