USPS does not offer a guaranteed overnight service. Priority Mail Express may be 1-day or 2-day service, depending on destination; the earlier deadline always applies. For example, my neighborhood PO closes at 5:30 p.m., which is also the time of the last pick-up for the collection box outside the door.
Typically you can expect delivery in 10-14 days nationally and 4-6 days in California and the Southwest U.S. The USPS will not forward or return mail if the mailing address is incorrect. Standard Mailers Take Note! While the USPS sets delivery expectations, it does not guarantee delivery times for Standard Mail.
