Should I worry?

I got a SA offer for BB S&T in singapore. I currently go to school in London.

I received the offer 3 weeks ago via phone and accepted right away. HR said they would send the contract+paperwork to me via mail. I asked them how long it would take and they said typically 1-2 weeks. I waited for 2 weeks (last Tuesday) and called them to follow up. HR said just be patient it will get there and proceeded to send me an electronic copy of my contract via email.

6 days have passed and I still havn't received it yet. I called them again this morning and they gave me the same answer.

From talking to other people in the class who accepted offers a while ago, it only took them a week to a week and a half on average to receive their contract (students from both London and US). They told me they got their contract via UPS. So I called up UPS and asked them if there are any packages coming to my address, they said there's nothing in the system that's coming my way.

Should I be worried? How safe is my offer? If you got an offer on the phone from a BB, verbally accepted and received an electronic copy of the contract, is it 100% done deal?

I apologize if I sound way paranoid but it's been 3 weeks, even airmail should have gotten here, and the fact that UPS couldnt find anything in the system makes me even more worried.

nstAsk HR if you can email them a signed copy of the contract.

I did when I called 6 days ago and they said I need to fill out the employment application that comes with the mail so no

 

Paper copy probably got lost somehow during the mailing process. Would wait a few more days and then call again and ask them for another copy of the paperwork to be sent. Wouldn't stress though - you have an electronic copy.

 

UH OH, REALLY BAD SIGN. you should be very worried, usually air courier mail only takes AT THE MAX 4 days to get to you.

========================================= We are excited to formally extend to you an offer to join Bank of Ameria
 
tuajyou probably shouldn't have said that to PJC. Even though you were joking you're probably on half the FBI watch lists now.

are you trying to tell me that FBI agents never watch Team America?
