What are other doing with regard to moving backup tapes off site?

Just curious.

We send them out every AM and I'm finding that it would be convenient to have a
tape on site to restore a "whoops!" file (one that got whacked in error by an
embarrased pgmr).  It costs us $300 to retrieve a tape and takes 2 hours.

So....

Are others sending tapes off immediately or waiting a day or so?
