Usually, it depends on the type of item you've requested.

Books or other physical items, the average time to receive materials is 1-2 weeks.
Copies or electronic documents (articles, etc.), the wait time is 2-5 days.
Many articles are delivered electronically, and you will be notified by email when your article request is available for download.
