Does it really take 2-4 weeks to get something mailed?
I just noticed a message in my inbox that a company mailed me something, and it would take 2-4 weeks before it would arrive. Its in a simple envelope.
Could something really take 2-4 weeks to get somewhere? I mean, it could go around the world 4 times in that time or!? |

It depends on where you are and where it's coming from.

normally no, it just saves their ass if it does take that long.
if you sell and ship stuff its always a good idea to say "2 to 4 weeks" cuz then you're covered.

Just gives them 4 weeks before you are entitled to start moaning at them, by which time you should have already had it.

It depends on...
1. Shipping to and from locations. 2. Time also includes the 'handling' and 'packaging' time allotment. 3. Method of shipment (boat/air/class/etc.). |

It depends on where it it being shipped to and from. If we order anything from abroad there is a chance it is going by boat and then it take ages unless you want to pay extra for air freight.

If it's a mail from the US, yes it can. The good old USPS is unfortunately infamous for being one of the laziest postal services in the Western hemisphere, and because of that Fedex has a great home market.

it can yeah. I mailed out a check several months ago and not only did it take almost 3 weeks to get delivered, but it was torn in half, stuffed in a new envelope and returned to me with an "oops we wrecked your shit" stamp on it from the assholes at USPS...
