I am supposed to receive my adsense check (about $500) this month by standard air mail and it is now 22 Jan still did not arrive. I live in India and usually i get about 3rd of every month. My check was sent on Dec 23, 2008 and still no news of it. Looks like i lost this month earnings. A bad new year beginning for me. very disappointed
yes very much true... after a certain amount of days if you have not received your check then you can send a reissue request... and they will resend you... it happened to me... also therefore i requested reissue and i got my check hope it helps...
how long do i have to wait before i ask them to reissue? The problem is most people get their checks after long delay having already done their re-issue request should i wait for 1month or more?
I believe that you can request an issue on the 25th of the months following the original being sent. See When do I get Paid Jon
You can always request for a re-issue but the problem is if that check had been encashed as in the case of a colleague here in my country, Philippines. What the culprits do is to connive with bank tellers or if they personally know any bank teller, then, it would literally be easy for these scammers to cash it out. I'm not sure if banks there in India don't practice this but here, it does happen and it did happen quite many times unaccounted but posted in our local forum here. What I would like to suggest to you is to change your payment options down to Western Union Quick Cash. Here they only charge about less than 2$ for the exchange of the money to Php if you have more than 500 USD. If you have a little bit more than 100 USD, they don't charge anything in Western Union.
