First Class Mail is delivered in three to five days.
Mailing is however a faster process, it can only take an instant to drop it off into the hands of the USPS, it is the sortiing, bagging, transport and delivery that requiires time. And speaking of time, the time that it is placed in the hands of the USPS matters greatly. If a letter fails to make a connection, it is often an added 24 hours to get it from place to place.
If mailed in the morning, it takes one day for a letter to go between Chicago and South Bend. Otherwise, it takes two days.
