I mailed a letter to the usa awhile back and it still hasn't arrived. What is the time it takes usually? I also put a key chain in it and am wondering if it got hung up in customs. I didn't fill out any customs forms here.

Everything I've sent has taken about a week EXCEPT when I sent things to VA. Something is seriously screwy with Virgina's mail system. It takes everything at least 4 weeks to get there. I've sent over 2 dozen things to VA this year and it's always the same story.

Most everything I've sent has taken about 7 WORKING DAYS, ie dont' count Saturday and Sunday. A few things have taken 10-12 working days.

I have had problems sending things to three different cities in VA. My friends/family who live there say their mail is ALWAYS slow.

AZ, MN, WA, FL, GA...no problems.

VA...always slow.
