Background check is taking so long for a pwm internship.

I sent HR all my forms and documents last wednesday, and they said that they will be done in a week. But today I called HR today and no body picked up the phone. Nothing. I haven't heard anything from them since last week and I don't know what is going on. Is it normal for background checks to take this long??
