How long does it take for a mailed package to arrive?
While we can only provide you with estimated mail delivery times, we can say with a fair amount of certainty that first-class USPS mail should generally arrive within one to three days.
How late can packages be shipped?
Other than time-definite air deliveries, shipments are generally delivered anytime between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (and sometimes later) to residences, and by close of business for commercial addresses. UPS cannot schedule a specific delivery time within that window.

Make sure you contact your LOCAL post office, and not the USPS hotline. If the package still does not show up, please call USPS to file a claim.
