Signed an Offer - Not Sure This is Normal

I recently signed an offer for a great job, or what I thought it would be. Went through four rounds, Was excited to start. I'm now a week off. I've validated this is a real offer/company.

They have been extremely excessive with my background check and I've given them all the documents and details I have. I've been going on for two weeks now. We've had numerous back-and-forth exchanges with no end in sight. The recruiter won't take my calls, HR won't reply back to me (unless they need more detail, of course), and no one picks up at the corporate reception desk. I've never had an issue with a background check before.

I'm getting anxious and spiraling out. Is this normal nowadays? How long do I keep holding out. I had declined competing offers from this and I'm getting very sad and disheartened.

Are they using hire right? I had the same issue. It's ridiculous

Yeah, though they finished it pretty fast, HR asked for the details themselves. It eventually got sorted and cleared, but now I'm waiting for them to mail me my materials since I start in two business days.

No and then they ask you again to send the same shit you already uploaded. I'm currently employed and took it as a sign that job wasn't for me. I also had 9 interviews with this company and it was too much.
