Estimate Delivery & Transit Time


How the USPS Delivery Time Calculator Works

Our USPS Delivery Time Calculator instantly estimates your expected delivery date by considering:

  • Origin ZIP Code
  • Destination ZIP Code
  • Mailing Date
  • USPS Service Type (Priority Mail, First-Class, Ground Advantage, etc.)

It provides an estimated delivery window, number of transit days, and local cutoff time for drop-off.

Example: Mailing from New York, NY (10001) to Los Angeles, CA (90001) with Priority Mail gives an estimated delivery time of 2–3 business days, arriving by Wednesday or Thursday.

Typical USPS Delivery Times by Service Type

Priority Mail 1–3 Business Days Yes Yes
First-Class Mail 1–5 Business Days Yes Yes
USPS Ground Advantage 2–5 Business Days Yes Yes

Understanding USPS Cutoff Times

Every USPS location has a daily cutoff time — the latest drop-off time for same-day dispatch.

  • Post Office Drop Box: Around 5:00–6:00 PM
  • Retail Counter: Varies by location
  • Priority Mail Express: Up to midnight at sorting centers

Our calculator also helps you find the nearest USPS location and their latest drop times.
