How long should it take to send a letter to South Carolina, USA from British Columbia, Canada?

i am sending a guy in boot camp letters right now, and ive gotten 5 of his letters and sent out 3 now, but he hasnt gotten any of mine yet. the latest one i have gotten was today, and its date was July 28th, which was also the day i sent my FIRST letter. will he be getting my letter soon? today? and also, if i presented my letter incorrectly, would the post office send it back or just toss it and not inform me?

Answer #1

about 2 weeks

Answer #2

makes sense, i guess

Answer #3

Ok here’s how it works since he is in boot camp: You have access to a post office / mail box and he doesn’t for incoming mail. Outgoing mail is relatively easy for him to do but incoming is controlled by the people in charge of him. He has other responsibilities right now and is undergoing some serious stuff (I’ve been there) THEY will decide when he recieves letters, or anything else right now. Once he has completed boot camp it will be much different, so just have patience and it will be ok

Answer #4

so, me simply putting my letters in the mail box isnt good.?? cuz thats what ive been doing! :O

Answer #5

Your doing fine. Just make sure the address is 100% correct with his squadron or platoon ect ect. Any mistakes in addressing them will most likely not get them there and believe me he has little time to read right now unless it’s a military manual. Boot camp is intense, your told when where and what to do 24/7. when I was in, I remember they stopped us from marching, sat us down, handed out paper and pens and said: Everyone write home now!!! You have 15 minutes!!! Start writing that’s an order!!!!! Things could be alittle different now because that was 25 years ago, but I’m sure it’s still quite controlled
