Domestic mail delivery times

Requested from PHLPost by B. Lewis at 04:34 PM on Jul 11, 2021.
Purpose: Personal
Date of Coverage: 07/11/2021 - 07/11/2021
Tracking no: #PHLPost-695310027978

Lewis 04:34 PM, Jul 11, 2021 

Hi, I would like to request information on domestic mail sorting and forwarding to delivery offices. Particularly why sending a letter to other countries is reasonably fast (5-7 weeks) but to receive a letter from abroad takes 3 months. How does the postal network operate, are letters and packages sorted by machine or by hand,  what route does the sorted mail take to reach the delivery office.

Thank you,
Brendan Lewis
