About three days only. Do some checking, who knows they delivered your mail at the wrong house. It could happen sometimes. A couple of times I received a mail that doesn't belong to me. It's to our neighbors. All I did is return it to the right person the day I got them in the mail. There must be some who just don't care in this world so please do some checking.

Some people have forgotten. (Well that is just my opinion) But from my expereince people just wait for the Veterans Day holiday to come for the huge sales in all the big department stores. That is not what the holiday is about. The hoilday is about remembering those who have lost their lives in World War II and other veterens. You are also supposed to remember those who are still in war and are fighting for our freedom and our country. I can not speak for others but it looks like most people have forgotten about the veterans and Veterans Day. But I know that I have not.

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

No.  Veteran's Day, I believe, is a Federal Holiday.  This means that all Federally run agancies, including the post Office, will be closed.

Yes, I feel that only people that served in the Military should get the day off. It was passed as appreciation of veterans anyway.

You have mailboxes to recieve your mail. For security reasons, the mail carriers don't deliver to your door unless you have a certified letter that needs to be signed for. They are also "timed" on their routes.

My son has been in Iraq twice now and i know how tough it can be on the home front. God bless you and your family, and Thank You for all that you are sacrificing for us. \nBeings it is after the 13th of Nov. {the date we are supposed to get things mailed for Christmas } it might take longer than the expected week and a half. You might be better off sending packaged goodies, the commercial preservatives are better than what we can use at home. Here are some things i have mailed and had good results with...Oatmeal, or chocolate chip cookies do really well in the mail if you put them inside of a pringles can. Those "disposable" tupperware bowls are inexpensive and work to keep things airtight and fresh too. Divinity, and homemade fudge keep very well if airtight, so will rice krispie treats. Put layers of waxed paper in between, or individually wrap each piece. Carmel corn is always a winner too, and can be sent in a ziplock baggie. Make sure that the box you send everything is packed tight so things don't end up breaking to pieces in the mail, i use dry popcorn, or new socks to fill the spaces. Hope that this is helpful for you.

Depends on the carrier.\nUSPS, has several options, from overnight, to 2-3 day priority mail. And then the slow as molasses Media Mail, where you might get it this year.\n\nAlso, if they use UPS or FedEx, again it depends on the service they choose to send it.\n\nI Assume you will get it via regular post, and that might be a 3-7 days.

If your box is on the street, I believe he is supposed to check for outgoing mail every day, but taking it from a box on your house is a courtesy, not a requirement.  If the carrier has no mail to deliver to the box he is not obligated to pick up any outgoing mail, even if the flag is up (but most will).

This used to make my day even when wounded it was the highlight!  Thanks for asking.  \n\nThe United States armed forces cannot recieve cards to "any serviceman" this year due to fears of terrorism.  Instead, the Pentagon has set up a secure email system that allows anyone to send a message to "any serviceman." Just pick the branch of the service, type your message and click send.\n\nThe story behind the "to any serviceman" cards:\nSince 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.\n\nTo access the site, visit http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/\nMilitary Exchange Prepaid Calling Cards\nThe Department of Defense Military Exchanges have been authorized to sell the following prepaid calling cards to individuals and organizations who wish to purchase these cards for our troops serving overseas in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.\nhttps://thor.milexch.com/scs/default.aspx\n\n12 Ways to Support Our Troops\nBy Lance Helgeson\nhttp://www.aarp.org/bulletin/yourlife/Articles/a2004-12-07-12support.html\n\nYou can adopt a specific or random service person for a prayer circle.\n\nhttp://www.presidentialprayerteam.net/troopsadopt.php  \n\nYou can write to a service person.\n\nhttp://anyservicemember.navy.mil\nThere are dozen of organizations, which allow you to purchase items and present it to a service person, but there are other options you might consider.  Visit the closest VA Hospital or for something really unique try: \nwww.snipersonline.org (They ask for contributions to buy items that the Government refuses or that is out of stock.\n\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

UPS will deliver on a Saturday, if you request it and pay more for the postage, otherwise I am afraid you will have to wait until Monday.
