How long does it take for domestic mail to be delivered?

Asked a year ago
The delivery time for domestic mail depends on various factors such as the distance between the origin and destination, the type of service used, and any additional services requested. Generally, First-Class Mail and Priority Mail have estimated delivery times of 1-3 business days. Priority Mail Express offers overnight to 2-day delivery. Media Mail and Parcel Select Ground may take 2-8 business days. USPS Retail Ground usually takes 2-9 business days. These are average times and not guaranteed delivery dates. It's important to note that during peak seasons or inclement weather, delivery times may be longer. For more specific delivery estimates, it is recommended to provide the origin and destination zip codes when using USPS online tools or consult with a local USPS Post Office.
