How long is standard international mail

The delivery time for standard international mail, also known as "economy" or "surface" mail, can vary significantly depending on the destination country, the type of mail service used, and the efficiency of the postal systems involved.

Here are some general guidelines on the delivery times for standard international mail:

• Within the same continent:
  • Europe: 7-14 days
  • North America: 10-21 days
  • South America: 14-28 days
  • Africa: 14-28 days
• Between continents:
  • Europe to North America: 14-28 days
  • Europe to South America: 21-35 days
  • Europe to Africa: 21-35 days
  • North America to South America: 21-35 days
  • North America to Africa: 28-42 days
  • South America to Africa: 28-42 days

Please note that these are general estimates and delivery times can vary significantly depending on the specific route, the efficiency of the postal systems, and any customs or security checks that may be required.

It's also important to note that standard international mail is not trackable and may not have the same level of service guarantees as express mail services like Priority Mail or EMS.

If you need to send a package quickly, it's recommended to use an express mail service, which can provide faster and more reliable delivery times.
