SIT says:
"Letters to and from the U.S. may take ten days, two weeks or longer. Both families and students should write frequently, but not get too worried if there is a lull in the arrival of mail. Do not plan to have anyone send packages as the amount of time and hassle involved for pick-ups is not worth it! Do not have anyone send cash through the mail."
