I requested transfer for UR on Saturday and they still have not posted to my account. UR account shows the debt of miles.

Do I need to call UR to understand the status of the posting since most UR transfer take less than 2 days?

Contributing some data points:

Starwood: Initiated transfer online Sun; Showed up in KF on Mon (T+1)
DBS: Initiated transfer online Sun; Showed up in KF on Tue (T+2)
UOB: Initiated transfer online Sun; Showed up in KF on Tue (T+2), different time from DBS
HSBC #1: Initiated transfer online Sun; Showed up in KF on next Tue (T+9)!
HSBC #2: Initiated transfer via phone Tue; Showed up in KF on next Tue (T+7)

All in, broadly in line with the wiki. Note that for HSBC, I suppose if initiated too late on Sun, then it takes another week for the batch process.

Unbelievable. Did someone from Golden Circle have to physically write a letter and post it to the airline for miles to be credited?

Another reason why I don't bother with the Golden Circle program or staying at Shangri-La!
