I sent mail from Saint Augustine, FL, to Dallas, TX. It was sent from a residential mailbox with one 42 cent stamp on it. The envelope was sort of thick and taped shut. I don’t know if that will matter or not.
I sent it on Thursday, which was December 19th, 2008. How long should it take to get there? Today is already Tuesday, December 24th, 2008. I know that they don’t deliver mail on Christmas.
You say that it was "sort of thick" so it’s possible the envelope requires additional postage. If that is the case, the PO will attempt to collect the additional postage from the recipient. If they refuse to pay, the envelope will be returned to you. Due to heavy mail volume at this time of the year, if you mailed it last Thursday it is possible that it arrived today.
How long should it take my first class mail to get to Texas?
