How long does it take to receive 1st class mail from denver colorado to smithville texas?

I sent a large envelop with delivery confirmation first class from NY. Tracking online currently says that it is 'enroute and left the post office in Denver Colorado on Aug 29, 2007 at 220 am.' I needed it to arrive to its destination in Smithville Texas Sept 2nd 2007. The online tracking updates often. I'm concerned its not there yet. I forgot to mentioned that this was sent from New York on August 22nd and the tracking says that on August 29th it left denver colorado at 220 am.

1. Well, you know, the 2nd was Sunday and today the 3rd is Labor Day, and post offices are closed. I expect your letter will be delivered tomorrow the 4th when the post office is open. If you really need for something to be delivered on a Sunday, Express Mail will do it, at a much higher price.
2. I am sorry for the delay thatyou are experiencing. If you mailed the item from NY on 8/22 it should have been received in Texas by 8/27. Since most mail is sorted by machines nowadays, the machine may have misread the address and sent it in error to Colorado. Online tracking of delivery will not appear omline until the letter carrier returns to the post office at the end of his delivery day, and returns his scanner to it's cradle. Then the info is uploaded, and become available to you. Sadly, you will just have to wait.
