Is wow mail instant

In World of Warcraft (WoW), mail is not instant, but it does have a relatively short delay compared to other types of mail.

When you send mail to another player, it takes a few seconds to a minute to arrive, depending on the distance between your character's location and the recipient's location. This delay is known as the "mail delay" or "mail latency."

Here's a rough estimate of the mail delay in WoW:

• Local mail (sent to a character in the same zone or nearby zones): 5-10 seconds
• Regional mail (sent to a character in a different region or continent): 30-60 seconds
• Cross-server mail (sent to a character on a different server): 1-2 minutes

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and the actual mail delay may vary depending on various factors, such as:

• Server load and traffic
• Network latency and connection quality
• The recipient's character's location and activity (e.g., if they're in a busy area or engaged in a raid, it may take longer for the mail to arrive)

It's also worth noting that WoW has a feature called "Instant Mail" that allows players to send mail to each other instantly, but only within the same server and region. This feature is available for a small fee, typically around 10-20 gold pieces per use.
