USPS is really fast.

I had someone from the US buy something from me on Sunday Aug 14.  I shipped it USPS first class mail with tracking and it arrived at destination on Aug 18.  I can't get something delivered from Vancouver to Calgary that fast, it usually takes a week and about 10 days to Toronto.  I sure envy US sellers with their fast and cheap mail service.

USPS is really fast.

With the U.S.. it is quick. From Canada it is unpredictable, likely due to customs delays. I have had items from Northern Ontario arrive in California in 4 days and take 5 weeks to to N.Y. state 350 miles away. Generally 1 to 2 weeks with the odd item up to 3 weeks is normal.

Most of my tracked items to the U.S. usually take 4 business days, sometimes 5.  I don't know if that's because I live in the center of the country but very rarely have I had a tracked item take more than 5 business days and light packet, 5 to 6 business days -- quite often four.
