How long does it take to post an item to America

[twinsetandpearls]

I am selling a dress in ebay and have had an American bidder ask me when they could recieve the dress by. If I posted first class on Tuesday when could I expect it to arrive?

gosh! airmail I had things arrive east coast within about 4-5days but obviously depends on lots of things.

sold quite a bit on ebay - usually say a week to US. but then i have had things i have sent to Australia received quicker than that!

It depends in a lot of things I would say probably 10 days for a parcel that is not sent by express delivery.

turnupthebass will I be ok sending a baby dress airmail? or will it have to go surface mail?

IME surface mail can get there as quick as airmail - seems to depend on the whim of the person who sorts it. I once (just once ) was sufficiently organised to send our Christmas cards to the US surface mail in October and they arrived the next week so I never bothered again - but it really can take 6 weeks, and you can guarantee it will if you don't want it to, so I would go airmail (anyway they will pay won't they?)

Small packet rate is useful.

Have you ever used airsure? Is it worth the extra money?

Certainly doesn't take long as I posted an Ebay dress there last week too. Say a week to be on the safe side.
