There are many reports at WebmasterWorld that Google AdSense publishers who have signed up for Secured Express Delivery of their AdSense payment have not yet received it yet.
Typically, it takes about one week from when you payment is approved to get the secured express check. But now, it appears that publishers who opt for standard delivery have already received their checks. Typically, standard delivery can take one to two weeks longer than the secure express check. Hence the reason for concern.
Google uses DHL to ship those checks via secure express delivery. In fact, AdSense publishers are charged a $30.00 processing fee for each check delivered via that method.
Google does however ask you to wait until the 5th of the month before requesting a reissue of your check. How do yo do that? Just fill out this form and you should be all set.
