Best Answer

It depends on what you compare it with:

Sending by post:

-you have to wait a while

-maybe someone else read it

-it may not reach the person (change address, etc.)

Personally delivering letter:

-unless you're very close, it still takes time

-you can't do anything else while delivering

-you might make a mistake and send it to wrong place

Sending email:

-maybe someone else read it

-it may not reach the person (change address, spam filter, etc.)

-the person might not read it, if it looks like spam

-it might be considered too informal

What day should you get a package delivered from San Fransico CA to Houston TX if it was brought to the post office Friday afternoon?

What shipping service was used? If it was mailed via USPS Express Mail, it will be there the next business day. If it was mailed via USPS Priority Mail, then it will be there in about 2 or 3 business days (though this is NOT guaranteed). Items mailed via USPS First Class typically arrive in 2-5 business days (again, not guaranteed). Parcel Post (and similar services like Media Mail or Library Mail) typically arrive in 5-7 business days.


What happens if you send a certified letter on a NO Trespassing notice and they don't accept the letter?

In my experience, quite simply, "nothing." It's as if you didn't send it at all. I sent a no-trespass letter via certified mail. It was never picked up or signed for after 4 notices were left with the recipient. Then, the letter was returned to me with proof that the post office had left notices on several dates. When I inquired about filing the notice to begin with, one police officer informed me that the no-trespass order would be in effect whether the recipient signed for it or not. After realizing the person had not yet picked up the letter, I notified the police again and got a completely different answer from another officer. Basically, ignoring a certified letter means you don't have to do what's inside of it!!!! So, apparently the person you're trying to keep away from your property ends up with the power. How ridiculous!! No accountability.
