Depends a lot on where you are and mostly where the other person is. I live in rural Alaska. It takes forever for stuff to get here. However to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Barrow. It will have less time. It takes 3-5 weeks estimated by USPS via parcel post Bethel, AK to Linden, MI. So i would guess around 3-5 weeks unless you aren't in US then it would take longer if you aren't. Hope I Helped! =)
The amount of time it will take for a Parcel Post shipment to get to Anchorage Alaska via the USPS will depend on where it is sent from. Parcel Post is now called Standard Post and it takes 2 to 8 days for delivery.
Parcel Post via USPS: about 4 -10 business days
First class means it arrives faster.
First class mail sent by the USPS from south Texas to Idaho typically arrives in three days or less. If you are shipping by parcel post or media mail, the item will take 5 to 9 days to arrive.
post office
The post office, USPS, is generally the cheapest way to mail packages. Generally parcel post or flat rate is the way to go. UPS and FedEx are generally more expensive.
Media mail is a discount that the USPS gives to packages that contain media like books.. parcel post is for all other packages that have 3d demention to them and if its over 13 oz it can't go first class it has to go priority mail
USPS Parcel post typically takes 2 to 9 days for delivery depending on the orgin to the destination.
Depends on the distance but this service is listed as 2-9 days on USPS's site. The service is slower than Priority Mail and First Class, for perspective. If you're using electronic postage from a service like Endicia and their Dazzle software, you'd have access to Parcel Select which is Parcel Post but a bit cheaper, same delivery time and includes delivery confirmation. The related links explains expected delivery days for each USPS service level:
* Via USPS - First Class Mail ... 5 business days to 8 business days * Via USPS Parcel Post ........... 8 business days to 14 business days
Media mail is a discount that the USPS gives to packages that contain media like books.. parcel post is for all other packages that have 3d demention to them and if its over 13 oz it can't go first class it has to go priority mail
Mail there is somewhat inconsistent. I have sent things parcel post with the greatest consistency, and sent things Priority that took a lot longer.
