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.
Postal Mail -- Respond Within Five Days. Five business days is the standard business letter response time. Postal mail can take two to three days or longer to reach even a local client. A further delayed mail response can indicate to a customer that your company is disinterested in his business, or worse, unprofessional and sloppily run.
