I received one of my checks today. I have not cashed it yet.
Here's a detailed timeline.
11/6 Request a $3,000 check by "regular mail"
12/2 Email WSEX asking if my check is in the withdrawal process, because I have not even received an email informing me that my withdrawal request was approved. They respond that regular mail takes 20-30 business days and that they will give me the tracking number when they have it.
12/17 Request another $3,000 check by "regular mail"
12/29 Email WSEX and ask what is going on with my 11/6 withdrawal. They tell me that the delay was caused by heavy volume of withdrawal requests, but that my check was "batched for processing" and they will let me know when they have a tracking number.
1/9 PM Josh with my info and he adds me to his WSEX slow pay list
1/13 Receive an email from WSEX with a Fedex tracking number
1/14 Receive a check via Fedex
It seems to me that if you are not on a list of people who has complained in the past to SBR, they will really take their sweet time paying you. As soon as you are the "SBR complainer list", things really seem to speed up
Hopefully I won't have to wait so long for my check requested 12/17
