i'm supposed to be getting a letter that was allegedly sent "first class parcel post"

for one, i thought first class and parcel post were different.  i'll assume at this point it's just parcel post, or standard post or w/e

is it normal for these to take a week or more sometimes?  it's traveling roughly 1/2 the USA.  from my understanding, normal post has no real timeframe, and the post people just wait til there is enough mail to load it all up in one trip and then they send it.  no real time priority or anything..??

i just wanna ease my mind a bit on this... i always get sorta worried when a package takes longer than expected.  is there anything particularly sketch about standard post compared to priority mail or express?  i always thought priority was the most "normal"

thanks to anyone that can help!!

First class should take no more than 3 days in the lower 48.

That is an intersting record, but on a more practical level, does it sometimes take 5-10 business days?  :smile:

Dang, and it has been something over 10 business days now :frown:

I was slightly relieved to find out that there was a reason for the delay due to addressing complications, but I'm hoping that the delay isn't too much longer as it is starting to worry me.

If it's been ten days for a normal letter, it never got sent.
