EDIT: 4 hrs 30mins after request, BTC withdrawal has been received in my wallet.
You lucky. Receiving on the same date is quite fast

Are you implying that Gox is systematically delaying Bitcoin withdrawals?
That would be an intentional delay, as there are no technical limitations (except for rare cold storage visits) for broadcasting transactions immediately.
(I just ordered a BTC withdrawal and indeed I'm not seeing the transaction yet.)
I didn't imply anything, my friend. I was just stating that I saw a delay, however... the transaction ID i was given when I initiated the withdrawal does not match the transaction ID of the actual withdrawal. and the BTC was only sent to my wallet after I sent them an email (which, as you know, will most likely still be sitting in a 3 week queue)
I just think they need more employees to handle the workload, is all.
