How long should I wait for my package to be delivered?

I mailed out 7 packages on Saturday night (Chicago postal mail box). I used plenty of stamps and I put my return address on all of them. Only 3 were delivered. The other 4 people claimed they never received them and it's already the next Saturday. A complete 7 days. Should I wait longer or should I just resend the merchandise?

    Packages put in a Collection Box on Saturday night will not get to a post office for sorting until Monday evening. Normally that would mean delivery about Thursday for most places.

    Mailing packages with stamps is not a good idea. Are you sure you had enough postage? Packages with stamps are removed from the air mail because of security rules. They get transported by truck instead. They could be delayed anywhere along the way for security reasons and could be returned to you if you didn't put enough postage on them. Don't do that again.

    If you have an accurate scale for postage, you can pay online and print an address label showing postage paid. This will get faster service because it also has the barcodes needed for the sorting machines. You can also pay at the counter at a post office.

    it could arrive any time now. day after today is a week because of the fact it became sent, and if it hasn't arrived, ring your interior of sight submit place of work for the type of the sorting place of work. programs could take longer than letters, extraordinarily in the event that they are cumbersome. it could desire to be no harm to ring them besides, in case an 'undeliverable' slip became no longer effectively inserted into your letter field and blew away with the wind.
