688246 2008-07-12 10:30:00 if a friend from a small town in england sent me a letter on the 2nd of july, would i be correct in assuming it would take 7-10 days or so to arrive here in auckland? aidanmaz (7180)
688247 2008-07-12 10:41:00 It should do - how long is it taking.

Across town is "supposed" to be over night
around the country is about 2 days I think and international is about one week.

New Lynn Postal handles West Auckland.

688248 2008-07-12 10:44:00 To Wanganui from Doncaster in South Yorkshire is normally 5-7 working days. regularly. Assuming they send via First Class Air Mail, their Second Class is the same as our Economy. That could take two weeks. PJ Poppa John (284)

Unless you are sending mail from Wyndham to Auckland and then it could be anything up to a week. Depends on how fast the delivery sheep walks........
