Janet, Until it's dry! How did you mount and frame it? Dry mount, hinged?
Metal frame, wood frame? Well sealed? 

Time is not really the issue. Drying a print with a slight air flow will
speed it up. I have even used a hair dryer while flipping the print from
front to back to avoid curl.

If you have a chance to go look at it in a few months, that might not be a
bad idea. I would recommend that you make a call and delay delivery until
you are sure about the print. I think that a promptly delivered job that
fails is worse for your rep than a slightly late delivery that last
unchanged for many years.
