    Estimated time for letter to get from Negril to the US?

    Does anyone know approx how long it would take to get a letter from Jamaica to the US? Sending it regular mail, just a regular size envelope. Debated on Fedex but it is super expensive, but if it will take weeks to arrive might go that route anyway. Anyone know?

    My own experience has been approximately 2 to 3 weeks... I got home before some of the postcards arrived.

    ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE - Is there anyone going back to the States who could carry your letter and mail it when they get here? That might be an option. That's what Fr. Jim does - after church he asks who's going home and they get the packet of mail to send off.

    Good luck.

    FedEx is pricey. A couple years ago I needed to send a one page document for a court case. I couldn't just fax it because they needed it signed, and notarized.
    That cost me $47 and change for 2nd day delivery.
    Soon come!
