First-Class Mail takes about five days for a First-Class letter to go from coast to coast.

Marketing Mail is slower in transit, about 6-7 days before delay.

A First-Class letter out of Philadelphia averages 4.53 days to California. Marketing Mail from Philadelphia to California averages 6.61 days.

The best solution to speed up your marketing mail delay is to drop ship into the destination Sectional Center Facility (SCF).

First-Class Mail is more consistent, as it has a higher priority, but for most marketers, the costs don’t justify it.
