Not sure how Mexico consulate does it but my wife's visa in China was available the next day. I have heard that some South American countries give the visa the same day.

If the VisaJourney embassy info pages are up-to-date (and it says last updated 2011-09-03), it should take about 10 days if mailed within Ciudad Juarez. Up to 3 weeks if mailed elsewhere.

By the way, are you sure you pick it up at the DHL office? Shouldn't DHL deliver it to your home address? I thought that's what DHL does....

Here's the link and the text I refer to:

Visa issued same day? No

If not whats the waiting period? Up to 10 business days for response via DHL in Ciudad Juarez. About 3 weeks if sent to another city DHL.
