local mail
Same-city post delivery
Local mail is mail sent within the same city, town, or postal district as its origin.
The term distinguishes nearby deliveries from regional or long-distance mail, which historically took longer and cost more.
Local mail usually arrives the next day.
The distinction matters less now that postal rates are often standardized regardless of distance.
