It's just a regular envelope. Sent through normal mail. Any guesses?

I have sent normal mail recently. Doesn't take long, about 7-10 days. If you get lucky, under 7 days. Five days is the record for me..

8-9 days, as long as there are no holidays in between......
If you send gifts back to the states, it is better to mail them by November 12th......

Believe it or not, it is better to have it sent to your job rather than your residence.....at least you don't have any pesty ajummas going through your mail to see where its from.............

My experience is about 2 weeks. Usually just under 2 weeks, like 12 days.

I figure this thread is a good place to ask a similar like question. How much is the postage to send a regular letter back to the states, and where do find postage (other than finding a post office)?
