. Key details about USPS Priority Mail delivery speed:
- Estimated delivery is generally 2-3 business days
- Some areas closer to the origin ZIP code may receive mail in 1 business day, while farther locations may take up to 3 days
- USPS Priority Mail is delivered Monday through Saturday, with no Sunday delivery
