Waiting for Credit Card to arrive?!

in Credit cards
Hi
Does anyone know how long credit card applications take to process from start to finish? I applied online for a Bank of Scotland Credit Card on the 22nd April and was accepted. I received paperwork on the 24th, signed that and returned it the same day and I haven’t heard anything since? Am I being impatient to think that this is taking a long time? Only I’m obviously aware that Cards can get intercepted in the post and don’t know if I should start panicking yet?
Thanks!

Thanks Guys! I'll wait a little while longer and see if it turns up. I haven't received any pin but I have had CCs before where the pin has arrived after the card or even with it - which I know isn't supposed to happen but did?!
If it hasn't turned up by end of next week I'll give them a ring then.
