Hey guys, what's up, I just wanna ask, any folks out there used Speed Mail Service before thru Post Office to send a package or letter to the United States?

How long does it take? Because I sent my DS-230 packet thru Express Mail Service here in Saudi Arabia on Oct.25 but until now the package is still not arrive in the US. I am worried that its lost. I hope not.

Thanks for any inputs. unsure.gif

Thanks Fiaz, Wow, I can't beleive they are opening the packet because its sealed by this plastic that once you open it the packet will be completely destroyed.

Dakine, I don't have a back up, because I sent all the original copies.

Hello Tim and Mari, 20 days??? WOW!! so its not express mail at all.

I hope its not lost or else I'm going back to zero. crying.gif

I used to send mails to my wife thru PO but I only used registered mail. In my experiences, registered mail normally takes 2-3 weeks but there was one time it took more than that. I guess, the problem was I did not put USA on the recipient's address. I used one time the EMS in sending SPA docs, and it also took more than a week, but not more than 2 weeks. I think one problem also in Saudi Post is that there tracking (you can track online in their website) is within Saudi Arabia only. Good luck anyway!

If it's important and speed if a concern.

Don't use postal service in USA or PI,

PI Mail is a major gamble

Go Fed Ex

My wife is using USPS when sending me letters,cards and even package here in Saudi Arabia and it arrives in no time.
That is why I am confident that it will reach there within one week from the date of posting.
I already tried the service of EMS when I sent my NBI clearance to the Philippines for renewal and within just 3 days my mother received it.

I wonder if the aircraft that carries my package got lost. wacko.gif
