how long does it take for the packet to get to austin?

[flintknapper]

So I mailed my packet off a couple of days ago but didn't bother to pay extra to get it signed for or anything (my mistake). How long does it usually take to get there/get in the system?

Reason I ask is because I emailed them on the 6th saying that whenever they get the packet and my PIN ready to email me with my PIN, and I haven't even gotten an acknowledgement email back.

Maybe I'm being a bit too anxious, I dunno. Just would like to get SOMETHING back from them so I can know that the packet atleast made it there.

Best thing would have been to have purchased "delivery confirmation" an additional .50 cents.

I wouldn't expect the packet to have been delivered in less than 3-4 days, and I'm sure they have a "pile" to go through everyday when it does arrive.

I know the waiting part is hard, but don't be a pest until at least 30 days have passed.

They probably have you packet already, but you won't get any confirmation of that fact for another month. Sorry...

Heck, I HAND DELIVERED mine and I still didn't have any confirmation of the fact that they had it for a month when the online status changed to processing. I already had my PIN because I did it online.

Took about 4 days to be received (return receipt took about 3 days to return) then 7 weeks to have PIN assigned, but we sent in over spring break. PIN letters arrived 10 days later.

I mailed mine on 3/13/06 and recieved the pin fron dps dated 4/24/06. the chl finally arrived on 5/30/06, 78 days after I mailed it.
