How long should I allow for shipping?

[taheenee]

We will be arriving at POP on 9/28 and i want to mail a box down ahead of us. I'm shipping from Maine and using the USPS cheapest possible rate. will 8 business days be enough? i'm thinking of sending it out on the 19th.
TIA!

UPS has a tool on its website where it will tell you how long it will take the package to get from one location to another (and the cost). We are arriving at WDW on 9/23. I need to send my package 9/19 to arrive by 9/22. That is with the cheapest and slowest ground rate.

I wouldn't send it via the post office. You have no way of tracking it along the way. Use UPS but still allow extra time. Things do have a way of being left in warehouses and taking longer than promised. At least you can see where your package is.
