I called the Japanese post office to confirm that EMS is still suspended, but airmail is working.
They said it usually takes a week to arrive, but now they think it will take twice as long, but they don't know when it will arrive.

If anyone has recently had a letter or letter sent from Japan by air, could you please tell me how many weeks it took to arrive ?
Thank you very much.

I received a letter from Japan by airmail on January 27, but it has been two weeks today and I have not received it.

The last time I had a letter sent from Japan last October, it took only 5 days to arrive, but this time it has already been 2 weeks and I am getting worried.

According to the tracking, ↓
February 3, 2021, 8:28 pm
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
LOS ANGELES CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER

February 5, 2021
In Transit to Next Facility
Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be It is currently in transit to the next facility.

It has been stuck in this state since Feb 5. ↑

Last time in October, the following message appeared the day after the above message. ↓
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
HONOLULU HI DISTRIBUTION CENTER
It reached Honolulu the next day. ↑

Why did it stop at LA or did it go straight to missing mail ?
When I called customer center last week, I was told that if I did not receive it by the end of last week, I would submit a request and I was told to call again, so I called again as soon as possible this Monday, and a different person answered and told me that they could only tell me to wait.
I told them what I was told by the last call center and they said, "I can't make a request right now. Please wait a little longer." was all I was told.
I thought it was somewhat similar to the UI call center because different people say different things.

The USPS call center also makes you listen to music and wait for an hour and a half every time until you are connected.

If anyone has tried to make a request or missing mail through the website in the past, could you please tell me how to do it ?

Thank you very much.

Christmas cards and New Year's cards from Japan at the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year were received normally. However, during the first lockdown last year, I really needed to order a copy of my family register from Japan, and the one I had sent from Japan took about six months to arrive. I waited and waited, but there was no sign of it arriving, so I ended up having it sent back again via Fedex, which took about a week to arrive via the mainland.

UPPS has a tendency of missing things and sometimes the contents are missing, so I use Fedex when I have important documents sent to me.
