Presenter Code - Companies House

How long does it take to receive the presenter's code from Companies House, please?

Didn't find your answer?

Hi, Thank you very much in advance for the help.
I have recently started in practice and have applied for the presenter's code to file accounts with Companies House. However, I have conflicting information on how long it will take to receive it. The Companies House representative said 7-14 calendar days, yet on their website, it says 5-7 days. Has anybody got a recent experience of obtaining the code? A client of mine would like the accounts filed by the end of next week, is there a chance of receiving the code before then or is it better to revert to paper filing? 
Thank you in advance for the responses.

I got mine pretty much by return of post.

If the client really can't wait, use his code or, if that's not possible for whatever reason, file on paper.

However, note that paper doesn't hit t'interweb straight away and you might shoot yourself in the foot with your impatience. I'm assuming here that the client wants the accounts in the public domain by the end of the week - as opposed to in the CoHo in-tray.
