Mail from US - grumbalina - 07-28-2014
I was wondering how long it takes for regular mail to be delivered from the US? My mom sent me a letter from Philadelphia on the 11th, and I still haven't received it. I just want to know if this is normal.
Thanks!

apparently my previous reply did not post...
It will take 25 to 30 days to arrive--if at all. A couple of months ago a State of Texas official letter arrived exactly 30 days after mailing.

The short answer is 6 days to 6 months. I once received a letter in 6 days from the US, even though it bore only domestic US postage. On the other hand, a certificate mailed in a flat 9 x 12 envelope took 6 months. The average (either direction) seems to be 4 - 6 weeks, in my experience. Mysteriously, the service is much, much slower than the 1950s when the likes of Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsberg, and Joyce Glassman furiously carried on correspondence between México and the US!

Thanks for the info! The letter was from the IRS, so I hope it wasn't a notice of audit!
