Fall Mailing Season is Right Around the Corner
In preparation for the fall mailing season, the Postal Service has developed the following table that will allow customers to project the number of days necessary for their mail to reach destinations based on the entry point and mail sort levels for Standard mail letters, flats, and parcels.
Customers should note that these guidelines do not imply any promise or guarantee. If mail is entered after the critical entry time, it may take another day. In figuring the number of days to deliver, the entry day is counted as zero.
