How long will a USPS Parcel Post Take?

• I'm usually quite patient for a package from across the country, but this is what I have so far: "Your item was processed through and left our BELL GARDENS, CA 90201 facility on July 05, 2011 at 12:45 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. Detailed Results: Processed through Sort Facility, July 05, 2011, 12:45 pm, BELL GARDENS, CA 90201 Processed through Sort Facility, July 02, 2011, 3:06 am, JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 Accepted at origin sort facility, July 02, 2011, 3:06 am, JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097 Electronic Shipping Info Received, July 01, 2011" Okay, I reside in Los Angeles,California. Yes, it is quite far from New Jersey, but that's not that part I'm worrying about. I'm more concerned on where my package went after it arrived to Bell Gardens, California from New Jersey, and left the facility for transit? I can reach Bell Gardens at a 2 Hour drive, however, it is July 8th and it's been 3 days within the same state? I need some reassurance, or tips, maybe I should wait for a full week before contacting USPS? Or should I contact them now. Either way, I need an answer, please, and I can provide my tracking number upon request, however, I have copy and pasted the crucial information above, thank you!

• Answer:

  It's not odd for tracking information to not update. It still takes 3-10 days for a package to get home so you still have time left. As soon as your package hits your city, you'll get an update saying something like "Regional Post Office"
