How long does priority mail usually take
The delivery time for Priority Mail varies depending on the destination and the service level chosen. Here are some general guidelines:
Domestic Priority Mail (within the United States):
- 1-3 business days: Priority Mail Express (guaranteed overnight delivery)
- 2-3 business days: Priority Mail 2-Day
- 3-5 business days: Priority Mail 3-Day
- 5-7 business days: Priority Mail 5-Day
International Priority Mail:
- 6-10 business days: Priority Mail International (to Canada, Mexico, and other countries)
- 10-15 business days: Priority Mail International (to other countries)
Note: These delivery times are estimates and may vary depending on various factors, such as:
- Weather conditions
- High volumes of mail
- Customs clearance (for international shipments)
- Recipient's location and availability
It's also important to note that Priority Mail is not a guaranteed delivery service, unlike Priority Mail Express, which is a guaranteed overnight delivery service.
