How long does it take between verbal offer and written offer letter?

Interviewed with a MD at a BB thru networking internally, received a verbal offer the same day from the HR stated the start date and salary. I accepted the offer the day after, then he said I should be expected to receive a written offer within 3 business days. Last week I was required to sign some pre-employment work such as ethics codes manual on their portal, so I did. Now it has been almost 2 weeks since I accepted the verbal offer and haven't received anything yet... meanwhile my internship is supposed to start 2 weeks after. I'm really panicking, should I reach out to someone or wait a bit longer first?
