If you are a small time earner from adsense program and have selected standard delivery mode (postal air mail) chances are the cheque which could take anywhere between 7 days to 1 month for you to receive depending on the place/city you live in India.

Normally most adsense publishers receive their cheque by the first week of every month by standard postal air mail. I have noticed that the cheques are sent from singapore by air mail. If you havent received your cheque by your usual date, you should allow atleast 45 days (at max) for the letter to reach you. You never know about the delays are quite unpredicatable with indian postal system which could be caused by festivals, holidays, strikes and may be anything.

I have been spotting that during Jan and Feb months checks dont reach in time and causes further delay. Many indian adsense publishers have been receiving checks after waiting for 2 months.

You can always request google to stop the lost cheque and re-issue the earnings on the next month cheque. Ironically i have seen many people getting their cheques after 1 month and after they have placed a re-issue request with google, which can cause quite a problem in cashing the cheque.

Waiting for checks sent by ordinary standard mail is just not worth it and highly unpredictable. It could be very frustrating often at times and everyday you check the postbox and the cheque hasnt come. Just pay $25 and get checks in time with secured delivery. Google does use DHL to send secured express cheques to India. It just takes about 5 days to reach you.

Standard delivery – Cheque stop request & re-issue
Wait for 40 days and then request a re-issue. Just login to your adsense account, click details note down cheque no, date, amount and use the contact form to notify them.

Change from Standard delivery to Secured Express delivery
Before 15th of every month.

Secured Express Delivery – Cheque stop request and re-issue
After 5th of every month

The adsense cheque is valid for 6 months and can be cashed anytime within that timeframe.
Google does charge about $25 to send the cheque from express courier delivery which is the safe and faster means of receiving the cheque. If you get small earnings and $25 is a lot of fee and not worth it.
