I sent in for a rating recently at Gatwick, took 2 weeks to arrive there by post, 10 business days until I got notification that it was on its way back (so two more weeks), and arrived by courier in three days (delivered to continental Europe). So all in all, over a month, but the slow mail system was also a large culprit, I should have paid more or sent it by courier, or better yet, gone in person.
On a side note, by the time they charged my credit card, it was a very short time period until it was sent on its way back to me, but it took them basically the whole two weeks to process the credit card.
