I am expecting a memorabille from my aunt from the US. I am living in Italy. Do you know how long it will take for the item to reach me? I mean how many days delay will the air mail have? Thanks. |

20 Sep 01 - 01:28 PM (#554922) Subject: RE: American Air mail and courier From: Uncle_DaveO The US postal service is planning on raising rates AGAIN! This is really for a good reason. Everyone knows how long delivery of every class except junk mail takes, and is expected to get worse. How else except rate raises do you think they can pay for the warehouse space for the mail that has to be held longer to create the new expected delivery times? Dave Oesterreich |

I sent an Express Mail on Monday, which is supposed to be 1-2 days when things are normal. They said it wasn't guaranteed, I said that was okay, but it has only got to its destination today. |

The Postal Service dislikes the term intensely, which I suppose is no surprise. It means advertising circulars and the like, almost always unsolicited, addressed in huge numbers to names on large-scale mailing lists, or to "occupant" or the like. The Postal Service delivers this stuff at preferential low rates (no kidding), and the poor first-class mail user has to pay higher rates as a result. Thank you for what I take to be a compliment.
