How long does it take to receive mail (sender is 60 miles away)?
Did he drop it at the post office or put it in his own box? If he put it in his own box they didn't pick it up till Friday, should be to you by Monday... If he took it to the post office they have a later pick up and would be to you by Saturday..... don't get mad..but its more likely he forgot and mailed it later than he told you, 60 miles shouldn't take more than a day at most to get delivered...maybe 2 at absolute most
How long does it take for a letter via USPS to get from CA to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas?
Delays can happen at the base. I went through basic at lackland and sometimes it was over a week before my letters arrived. I figured it was my Training Instructor being an asshole. He was about 5'2" and had something to prove. So if your b/f has a jerk for a T.I. his mail may be delayed.

How long does it take USPS to send a first class letter from San Jose to San Francisco?
Two key variables are going to have to do with location and timing. If you drop your San Jose letter at the post office at 12:01AM it’s likely that your letter may arrive the next day. 11:59PM and you may not see it for two or three days. Put it in a postbox at the corner that’s already had a pickup with nothing scheduled until the following afternoon, same thing. My mail from San Jose to SF generally arrives within two service days.
If I send an anonymous letter by USPS without a return address, will the person still know which post office it was sent from?
It is still possible to track an anonymous letter’s origin post office. This depends on how the letter was processed. Letters don't go from mail back to post office and reverse to get mailed. The mail process is a complicated labyrinth of travel and tracking.Mail is taken from the boxes > to the local origin post office>to a facility depending on the letters destination> through machines that mark the letters origin post office. (Sometimes a post office is large enough to have these marking machines that will show post origin.)>through final staging machines that track letters, mark them with ink and put them in carrier (walk)sequence>the mail can now go either to the destination post office or depending on location, to another facility where it can become pass through mail and go to its city's main post office>to the local post office>then to you.If a letter falls out of the system along the way (it could have fallen out of a tray or something)there's a chance it will get canceled manually and the process of micro - marking it's origin post office gets skipped. This is where an anonymous letters origin post office stays hidden. That, however is both rare and random and cannot be planned or predicted.
How long does a letter from the US take to reach Germany?
It depends: I have seen letters arrive after 2 days. I have seen letters arrive after 2 weeks. Factors that contribute: * How long does it take until the first sorting facility marks the letter as outside the US? * How is it sent along (Europe or Germany)? * When is it sent? * Any delays when handing over? * Next sorting in Europe for country first or already in Germany? * Legibility and correctness of address: Sorting is done automatically today. If the sort machines cannot read the address an exception with sorting by hand kicks in which typically takes significantly longer. The moment the letter is in Germany in the normal postal process it will take between 1 and 2 days to arrive.

How long does it take to mail a letter from New York to New Jersey?
Where in New York (state?)? Where in New Jersey?Often as little as one mail-delivery day, but there are no guarantees with a first-class letter with an ordinary stamp. It could be as many as two or three mail-delivery days. Potentially four. Are you mailing a letter from Manhattan to Hoboken? From a small town near Plattsburgh to Cape May? New York state is a big place, and New Jersey isn’t exactly small either. The USPS is not going to refund your money or be sympathetic if a letter doesn’t get there in time if you’re just using an ordinary Forever stamp.If you want to ensure something gets to its destination by a certain date, you should use USPS Express services, UPS, or FedEx.
What does USPS do with a letter if there is not enough postage (stamps) adhered to it?
After someone has been working for the Postal Service for a significant amount of time, s/he can generally tell if an envelope is long or short on stamps. If mail enters the mail stream with too little postage (not no postage, just too little), it will taken to the recipient and that person will have to pay the postage due. If they refuse to pay, or don't pick it up, it will be returned to the mailer postage due. If the mailer also refuses or doesn't pick it up, it will be sent to the Dead Letter Office, there to reside for the remainder of its little postal life. If that same envelope enters the postal stream with NO postage, it will be returned to the sender. If there is no return address, again she flies to the DLO.
