How long does it take mail to get to US from Ukraine?
well Ukraine is far away from the US so i will say about 1 week and a half or so If it is a simple letter, then yes... about a week. Packages are another story though, depending on the size and weight. 4-6 weeks is the norm. I live in Ukraine and my mother sends me multiple packages at a time fr…om Michigan. They always arrive at different times- usually the heavier ones are 1-2 weeks later than the lighter parcels. Priority mail is more expensive, but will speed things up. (My last priority box showed up almost 2 weeks before the others) But it is much more expensive. It also depends on the time of year. If there is a heavy snowfall in Ukraine, post offices will shut down and it can delay things. My packages that come from further west (Arizona, specifically) take a little longer to go across the US... maybe a week or so. Hope that helps! :-) (MORE)
