How long is the wait these days - Stars checks for US players ?

[sabes]

I just finished reading the Stars FAQ which says all checks in USD are shipped via regular mail, while other currencies $1000 and up are shipped express. I'm wondering when this has changed as I've made several $1k+ withdrawals from Stars in the past and been very pleased with the express delivery, but apparently they're not doing that any more. Fwiw I live in Minnesota.
