Parchment offers 3 official transcript options:

2. Mailed transcripts (paper format): paper transcripts will require a few business days for processing time and mailing.
3. Mailed transcripts that include an attachment: please allow several business days for your transcript to be mailed, in the event that your request needs additional research. Processing and transport times for mailed transcripts are subject to delays, including unknown delays for the various entities that handle mail, including USPS, FedEx, and UPS.
