Possible for postal mail to take over a week?

[duragezic]

Supposedly someone sent a small package (presumably a padded envelope or the smallest box from USPS) to me one week ago from who knows where in Wyoming. I'm in Michigan. I would've thought a week or so is entirely possible but the calculator on the USPS page shows the priority mail delivery in 2-3 days from some random zipcode in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming to me.

This package is important to me and although the person said again they sent it last Tuesday... it's just one of those things I don't really know until I see it myself. So, is it possible to take this long?

not likely given the time of year and weather

Lately priority has been taking 6-7 days.

I would blame the weather too, been rough the past few days.

As others have said, the weather is probably a factor in the delay.

I think it is. Something was sent to me nearly a week and a half ago and I haven't seen it yet. It's been snowing like crazy on my end though, plus it's a fairly big box and it's xmas time. I've been told don't worry about it until after 2 weeks have passed.

PS: It doesn't help, as I'm still worried I'll never see it

I've had delays of over two weeks. Anything is possible.

I had a package sent from Oklahoma to Texas. It accidentally got shipped to New York first. Took about two weeks.

Priority is a 2-4 day service, not guaranteed for time, this time of year bet on a week or more. standard parcel post is 3-7 days also not guaranteed, expect longer.
