How long does it take for a check to process if the check is from a different state?

Question

the story is that i live in new york and i sent a check to new jersey to buy something online. i was wondering how long it takes for that check to process because its been 7 days allready and the online vendor saids its not processed yet

Answer 1

You "sent" a check.  The check will be processed within 10 days after it has been received.  I sent my brother a $1,000 check for his wedding.  It arrived in 14 days.  He thought i was joking about sending him the money.

Next time wire the money.  It costs $15 and the money is good the same day it is sent.

I'm worried, tho, that the seller is cheating you.

Answer 2

you have to realize that it can take up to a week just for them to get the check. Depending on how big the company is - it can take another week or more for them to get it processed.

With big companies it has to go thru the mail room, thru the company and get to the person that processes it before it can even get to their bank.

Answer 3

Should be processed by now, but 10 days is the longer time period, so wait a few

Days start counting upon receipt not upon your sending
