Please note that these are general estimates and delivery times may vary depending on various factors, such as:

- The distance between the sender and the recipient
- Any customs or border delays
- The type of mail being sent (e.g. letter, package, etc.)
It's also important to note that FCMI is not a tracked service, so you may not be able to track the status of your mail once it leaves the United States.
If you need to send mail internationally and want to ensure faster delivery, you may want to consider using a tracked service such as Priority Mail International or First Class Package International Service. These services offer tracking and delivery confirmation, and can provide more reliable and timely delivery.
