I can tell you it takes 22 months for a letter to get from MI to ND. A fellow member here send me a few stamps Jan of 2016 and I received them 11-17-17. When I received the letter it was dry but you could see it was wet at one point from the purple stain on the envelope. I can see it was postmarked at least 2 times. The flap was open and one end of the envelope had been ripped opened and taped back closed with packing tape. On the back is some sort of USPS sticker that has been ripped off. I have to say with all the months it took to receive this letter and who knows where it went that the stamps were in good condition. One stamp the edges were curled a bit and that is all.
re: How long does it take for a letter to get thru the USPS system?
Hey Carolee,
On occasion, I buy some stamps from a guy in West Fargo. It takes 2 to 3 days through the mail. It is less than a one hour drive. I guess that's why it is called snail mail.
I hope things are going well on the other end of the state.
