The checks were mailed over quite a few days. While the postage meter date on my check was 23 December, the post mark date which is the actual date it was mailed was 31 December. I'm in the U.S. and I just received my check on 3 January. So if your check was also mailed on 31 December, I suspect you won't have it for at least another week.
Date of receipt by someone in India was December 31st for the October earnings. Since November earnings were sent about 2 weeks later by Google, you should expect to see it sometime in the next week or two.
<added>There are different dates of being sent - mine was postmarked at the post office over a week before Blue_Fin's was (December 23rd)</added>
Focusin.com performs at about 70% of Adsense for me, so it is a viable alternative if Adsense is over (I get wrongly kicked or Google stops the program or hell freezes over), in my case.
Dont worry guys, the first time I was also nervous.
I am in Mumbai , India. Got both the cheques for October (on Dec 31st) and November (3 days later). Also got a greeting card ...but that was just yesterday. Believe me I didnt mind it since I would have chosen the cheques to come first any time.
I'm from mumbai and have received 2 cheques so far .. I get them in around 8 - 10 days of time. I got both the cheques, both were mailed on december 9th and 17th.
Don't worry you will receive them, but make sure you have the correct address in google and they just allows 20 chars per line... so you might wanna check that.
It's not difficult to deposite the cheque in India, they will charge you a fees of around Rs 150 - 200 ($4 - $5). The thing to worry about is the exchange rate .... it does FLUCTUATE, can really make a big difference on a large amount cheque.
