I sent a letter from Hawaii to Japan.
I sent it directly from the post office on 2/22, but as of 3/6, it still has not been delivered.
How long will it take ??

Supplemental, it's about a week if all goes well. I suggest you wait at least two weeks.

When I sent it last year before Christmas, it took about 3 weeks.
When I send a package that can be tracked, I like to deliver it once through the mainland US. The package arrives faster than a letter by about 10 days.

My sense is that with letter or card it usually takes 10 ~ 14 days, but if you are unlucky 3 ~ 4 weeks, and rarely 1 week. If you use Registered Mail just to be sure, it usually takes 2 ~ 3 weeks. In the worst case, the mail came back 5 weeks later with a stamp saying "Unable to deliver to destination", even though the address was correct. ( This must be a problem with Japan Post. ) EMS packages usually take about a week to arrive, but they are expensive, so I use Yamato or FEDEX. About the same in terms of time.

Even now that there are direct flights, the mail seems to go through LA.
Even if you send by Priority, the tracking shows it is via LA.

I once sent two letters to the same address on the same day,
the two arrival dates were a week apart.

They should be arriving soon ?.

I'm a little surprised to see someone going through the mainland.
When I send something that can be tracked, as I mentioned above,
it always goes straight to Narita, so I let the recipient know
"I'm there today, so it will arrive tomorrow", or
I give them the number from the beginning and they
tell me it will arrive today. I have given them my number from the beginning and they have informed me that it is scheduled to arrive today.
I know that when it's by sea it goes through the mainland, but
when it's by regular mail, whether it can be tracked or not
it's the same in terms of days.
