How long to get the Adsense PIN!?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by BlackIrish, Nov 12, 2010.

    Hi,

    I'm just asking whether or not I should start panicing about not receiving my Adsense PIN. I know it varies from country to country, but this PIN was sent locally to a address in California, so I'm pretty sure the delivery time for these letters isn't the usual 3-4 weeks. I've been waiting for 2 weeks now, and still no sign of it. Could it take more than two weeks to get the letter in the US?

    Thanks!

    That's interesting - so you mean you received it about 15-21 days later? Because if you've ordered it on Friday, and got it on the second Monday, that's the third week but only the 10th day :p

    That is very technical. Usually it takes 3 weeks or 21 days.

    pincode is sent via ordinary mail so it takes around 2-4 weeks .

    It took me about a week, but it was a long time ago. All I remember is that my website back then was clean, had some basic text content, but not a lot.

    I remember before when I also request for the PIN, it takes almost a month before it arrives on my house.

    If you reside outside US, it can take about 4-6 weeks for the PIN be delivered to you. So, be patient. Sometimes, there is difficulty in receiving the PIN especially if the postal system in your area is weak. In this case, you may try to give an address around urban area, maybe of your friends' or relatives' where the postal system is good.

    If you didn’t receive it within the prescribed date as mentioned in your account, you can request for a re-issue. Well, up to 3 times. Further requests need you to contact them in person.

    Once the PIN is generated, it should be entered within 4 months or your ads will be turned out to be PSA ads. They may disable your account if you don't enter it even within 6 months.

    Unfortunately, for the time being, PIN can only be received through ordinary post to your postal address. They don’t send it via e-mail. It’s a way to validate your postal address. So you cannot request them to send it through e-mail or any other form.

    I will say generally you will get the PIN within 6 weeks
    And normally you should get it on the third week

    Where are you located listiaclone? Perhaps you should resend the pin, maybe to a different address. Also thanks to the others for the statistics. I'm waiting for this PIN in the US, and most of the 4-6 weeks suggestions given by Google are for International shippings, so still no clue on what is the local US delivery time. In any case, I've entered the 3rd week of waiting now, still no sign off it. Perhaps some of you guys were right, and this is THE week :D If not, I'm gonna resend the letter next Wednesday...

    Maybe I can use a PO Box?

    Actually you can request for another PIN if it takes too long before it arrives on your home.
