Web-based surveys are typically the quickest method for data collection because they can be distributed instantly and responses can be collected as soon as the respondent completes the survey. Telephone surveys and personal interviews require more time due to the need to contact and communicate with each respondent individually. Mail surveys are generally the slowest, as they rely on postal service delivery times for both sending the survey and receiving the completed responses.
