Waiting on a Paper Check in Mail-by choice 2016

I filed through H&R online. My refund was $10,000 so I chose to get a paper check. Anyone else waiting on a paper check or is it just me? I updated approved on 2/6 for a paper check to be mailed out BY 2/12/16. Has anyone received a paper check this year and does where’s my refund update to mailed out on the date they mail?

An update for anyone waiting on a paper check!

*They mail them out on the “mail by” date and not any sooner.

*Mine said mailed by Friday the 12th and it was mailed on the 12th.

* WMR updated on Saturday the 13th to reflect that my check had in fact been sent out.

* My check came to Ohio from Philadelphia, PA and was surprisingly in my mailbox on Tuesday 2/16/16 even with Monday being a holiday.

Good Luck!! See you all next year!

I am receiving a paper check also by 2/12. Last year, it was sent on a Tuesday and got it by that Friday. This year, I’m not so sure since they are behind. WMR probably won’t update until Sat. It my be in your box Friday or Wednesday at the latest.
