Doc,

In my case it went "complete' on a Saturday and the license arrived on the Monday (UPS overnight)...I think it depends on whos cage you rattle as to how it gets shipped. :mrgreen:

Mine came 4 days after it showed approved.
Showed up in regular mail.
It's surprising how differently notification and sending the license is handled.
There doesn't seem to be uniformity.
I didn't receive any confirmation emails as a previous poster said.
Nor did mine come over night.

Mine went to Complete on the Wednesday before labor day and I had it in hand Tuesday after labor day. No rhyme or reason it seems to how long the mail takes.
