How long does it take to ship from maryland, usa to anchorage alaska?

i shipped a hoodie there. about how long should it take to get there? i used regular shipping.

My experience (I'm not far outside of Anchorage) from the East Coast has been:

USPS Priority: 2-4 (working) days, usually 2-3 days.
USPS First Class Mail: 2-4 days.
USPS Parcel Post - highly variable - 5 days to 3 or 4 weeks. They say as much as 4-6 weeks, I've never seen it take that long.
USPS Media Mail (for something that could reasonably be passed off as books, paper or music). 1-2 weeks.

UPS doesn't offer surface rates to Alaska. Their Second Day Air, takes, well, 2 days.

Fedex: Overnight, or Second day, whatever you asked for, they do it.

If you used USPS and the flat rate Express mail box 3 days, if you had used express mail $27 it would be there tomorrow. If you wrapped it and sent it first class package 5-7 days.
