How can I find out how long the average mailed letter takes to go from one city to another?

Question

In sales, I have to send out a lot of mailings, and I'd like to find out how long I should wait before following up with my customers. Perhaps a website is available? I've already tried USPS.com without success.

Answer 1

The national average for letters within the continental US is 2-3 days. That's been the company line in excess of 20 years. I have seen pieces of mail at both ends of the spectrum and different classes of mail are handled differently but first class is what I think you are looking for.
