how long should it take for a personal check to clear the bank? I was told an item will be sent to me as soon as my check clears. I thought in this day and age things like that were pretty much instant. (done electronically). I thought the banks could tell right away if you have the funds to cover the check.

Depends. Sometimes it could be as short as a couple days, or as long as a couple weeks. Depends on the Company, and the banks involved. You should see the check clear your bank statement on-line if you have access. Then you know when the check cleared.

Typically within 24-48 hours (business days) the funds are available to you.
