How long will a snail-mailed birthday card take?

I am snail-mailing a birthday card to my G.F. in Houston, Tx.


How long (how many days) will a card (envelope) take travelling from Amarillo, Tx (zip 79108) to Houston. Tx (zip 77077)?





Her birthday is April 04, so which day, ultimately should I mail this?





Thanks.... and on a lucky day (wind-direction and attitude of the mail-carrier permitting) the mail *should* arrive in time.

How long will a snail-mailed birthday card take?
It'll probably take about 3 days, but I'd say mail it no later than the 1st of April.





If there is a post-office near you, I would drop it off there rather than have the postal carrier pick it up from your home mailbox. That way your card doesn't spend a day in the mail carrier's truck before it even gets to a post-office to get processed.
Reply:I would mail it on Tuesday, Apr.1st, to be safe. It might get there a day early, depending on wind direction, but better early than late!
Reply:2 - 3 days.....probably 2





I get things from Houston to College Station, TX in one day. To Lawton and Stillwater, OK in two days.
