How long does it take for a transaction to be confirmed?

I'm transferring bitcoins from localbitcoins wallet I have to evolution account. This is the first time I've ever done this and my transaction has gone unconfirmed for almost an hour now. Is that normal? I received bitcoins in my localbitcoin wallet then sent them to the address my evolution account gave and still a no-show. Any help would be great.

It can take 5 minutes or it can take an hour and 5 minutes for a single confirmation. There aren't set times and it seems that the faster you need it the longer it takes. You posted about 40 minutes ago so by now I'd imagine the coins are safely in your evo account at this point, correct?
