Ask the post office

For standard air-mail, I'd allow 3-5 days.

Our mail to and from Canada and the UK goes fro 4 to 7 days. We normally count 7 but often for reasons unknown the four day time frame works.

We recently sent a parcel and that took only four days.

Posted letter containing two photographs on Sunday to Manchester, UK. It arrived Thursday morning.

From past experience that's standard.

Well it is the Post Office, it takes them a week or more to get a letter across Houston.

A couple of years ago I went to the post office, walked in the front door and mailed a $2400 check to my bank that is less than 10 miles away from the post office. Would you believe it took 28 calender days to reach the bank. To be fair tho the U.S. postal service does an awesome job when you consider the millions and millions of letters, packages and junk mail they have to deliver.
