How long does it take for SAT scores to be sent?

Hi, does anyone know exactly how long it takes for SAT scores to be sent from Collegeboard to colleges? Or based on previous experiences? They’re usually electronic, so I’m thinking it shouldn’t take that long? I can’t get an accurate number out of collegeboard when I call them, because they say “1-2 weeks”, and there must be an influx of requests right after scores come out.

I took the October SAT II, but I want to see what scores I got first, which come out on October 24, and then send them. If I’m applying Early Action and the deadline is November 1, would it be possible for a regular, $11.25 report, to get there on time/before that deadline? I heard from many colleges that they discourage rush reporting (2 business days) because it costs a lot and is not much faster than regular reports. Would it really be worth it to use rush reporting?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
