Sure it will delivered. The 23rd was the Holiday. But most likely a little later,all the mail people are just like the rest of us. A little heavier, tired and not moving to fast. LOL

The mail will be delivered!  The post office will be open!  Administrative USPS offices will be closed.

The email actually does not go from Ireland to Japan. The email which you send goes to your email server, which then takes care of sending it to the email server of the recipient.\n\nSo, if both of you are using yahoo mail, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds. but if both of you are using a different mail servers, for example like a university mail server, then it might take a lot of time depending on the policy of your mail server. some mail servers deliver mails every few minutes instead of as and when they receive it.

For a standard letter, you will only need a first class stamp.  There is no difference from sending to an APO than sending to say New York.\n\nIf you ever need to send a package, you will need a small customs form on the package (the PO has them and knows what to do with them).  The pricing should not be different but keep in mind that Priority Mail is the fastest way for APO packages.  All other methods can take awhile as they go on a space available basis.\n\nI hope this helps.

Be patient, e-mail and letters to a remote area (Militarily speaking) takes time.  He will write you but it will take as many as 15 days (At times) to get to the US from over there. E-mail is only good if you have a place to receive and send it...

There are two timeframes here that determine the total amount of handling/shipping time. Add #1 and #2 together to figure out when you'll get your package:\n\nTime #1: FredFlare - to - UPS in NY\nTime it takes from when you place your order to when they give it to UPS in NY. This is covered in the "When can I expect my order" section that you cut-and-pasted.\n\nTime #2: UPS in NY - to - UPS in Cali - to - You\nTime from when UPS in NY gets the package to when UPS in Cali delivers it to you. This is covered under the "Shipping Choices" section that you cut-and-pasted above("UPS Ground", "UPS 3-Day", etc.). This depends on what option you choose.\n\nExamples:\n\nSuppose you place your order BEFORE 1pm EST on Wednesday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 0 days(it goes same day because you got order in before 1pm EST and it's not the weekend)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 3 days\n\nSuppose you place your order AFTER 1pm EST on Wednesday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 1 day(it goes out next day because you got order in after 1pm EST)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 4 days\n\nSuppose you place your order AFTER 1pm EST on Friday and that you choose UPS 3-day shipping.\n- Time #1 = 3 days(it goes out on Monday because you got order in after 1pm EST and because they don't ship on weekends)\n- Time #2 = 3 days(because you chose UPS 3-day shipping)\n- Total Time = 6 days\n\nBottomline: just don't order it after 1pm EST on a Friday and you should get it in between 1 - 5 days depending on what option you choose.

no.\n\nthe post office is a government run institution and is run in the same manner as the dmv. if you mail a letter, it will take a day to get picked up, sorted, routed, resorted, and delivered as soon as the mail person comes back from their lunch break. \n\nits very similar to standing in line at the dmv. you wait in line, sometimes for hours, wait for a window to open up, and just when you are inching ever so closer to the window, the clerk gets up from their window desk, slaps a sign that says "back in 3 days" and then disappears into the back room never to be seen again. \n\noh, and if you mail a letter, make sure you use proper postage or it won't get there at all.

It depends on the weight of the parcel you're sending, how many you're sending, and how fast you want it there.\n\nClick on the link below for rates to Hong Kong from Cerritos:\n\nhttp://ircalc.usps.gov/intl_speed.asp?CID=10189&MailType=package&Pounds=1&Ounces=0

Depending on where you live, sometimes mail gets shipped to a nearby big city to be sorted and then rerouted to be sent out for delivery.  If thats the case, it should take about 2-3 days.  If you live in more of a secluded town, then it should be shipped directly and if you drop it off before 5 then likely it will be delivered the next day.

Should take about two days, if mailed before pickup.\n\nI've found (for some unknown reason) that letters move faster if mailed Saturday AM from the post office.\n\nThe main post offices do work around the clock sorting mail and that sort of thing.  Mail, of course, is not delivered around the clock.

I was a Military postal clerk and the answer is about 10 days.  However, if sent surface, it could take up to 75 days in accordance with the DMM, (Domestic Mail Manual).  Thank your husband for his service for me and tell him we all support him.

Call the Post Office for the town to which it was sent; talk to the Post Master for that station.  Tell him the name and street.  He will talk to the carrier that handles that street who will keep an eye out for it or be able to relay if he saw the letter (if it was distinct) and had to send it back (forward order expired etc.)\n\nHowever, give it a total 2-3 weeks which is how long it can take for an undeliverable letter to be returned to sender or mysteriously find it's way to the correct recipient.

Good question!  Not that I know for sure, but I've heard the zip gets it to the right city (or part of the city), and the +4 gets it to the right individual mailman, so maybe it does get there faster.  I think a controlled experiment is in order!

That's going to depend on how close to a major metropolitan area each point is.  \n\nIf you're sending it from, say, downtown Jackson to downtown Columbia, I'd guess two days for first class mail.  But if you're sending from, say, Starkville to Gaffney, it might take a few days longer.
