It can be hard to know when something will reach its final destination when you mail through the USPS. It is part of a USPS money-saving strategy that it has taken longer for a letter to get from one part of the country to another.

The USPS has an interactive map that can be used to find out how long it will take for a letter to arrive. Here is what to know.

Why USPS mail delivery has gotten slower

In an attempt to save money, the USPS began relying on their own fleet of ground transportation vehicles and less on air transport to deliver letters. The USPS started taking a slower approach to first-class packages on May 1, 2022.

The mail has gotten slower and that is annoying. We can use USPS tools to adapt to its new pace, even though complaining about it isn't going to speed it up.
