After mailing out "Direct Mail" pieces how long should I wait to receive responses back through the mail. Do people wait or do they respond right away?

It depends on how large of an audience you sent the piece to, and what kind of response time that you requested on it.
Also, how did you send the cards? If you sent them as post card rate, they usually take a little longer (+2 to 5 days) to get to the location than a first-class letter.
The message on the piece will dictate the response time, also. If it is a limited-time offer, people will respond quicker than if there is no deadline.
Whenever I do a mail-out, I add my name to the mailing list - that way, I have some idea when it's getting to my audience.

some will some will not depends on what you are trying to accomplish. with direct mail the normal response is about one out of a thousand. Let me know what you are trying to do and I may be able to help

If they do respond, the bulk of the responses will be within the first week after they receive it. Remember, it's just another piece of junk they are getting, and most people will just chuck it.
