Hi I was just wondering if anybody could tell me how long a letter normally takes to be sent to uk via normal mail ? Not airmail.

Hi Snipez, welcome here

I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies, but for me:-
from Manila it takes between 5 - 10 days
from Davao it takes between 8 - 14 days
from Cabanatuan it takes between 7 - 14 days

I have no idea why such a variation, but as a rule I can expect about 1 week or just over and usually not more than a couple of weeks. Not too bad.

Terpe - I doubt it Snipez is asking about surface not air mail - I'd think 4- 6 weeks

Hmmm, yeah good point, I better check the envelopes when my wife gets home.

Just wanted to add that if you are sending cash in your letter/ card, it more than likely will never arrive! :doh

in the past i found about 6 weeks, one parcel took 9 weeks! - other responses with people saying 10 days refer to airmail.

My mom sent me a letter from Cebu to UK and it took about 2 weeks. But it all depends really. I even experienced sending mail from Pinas to UK and it arrived in less than a week:)
