I had a personal experience when a letter with wrong some "Euro" stamp was delayed for 3 month. That error was completely a postworker fault. Not all postworkers are that skilled, esp. in districts.
7 days is VERY optimistic estimate, for most letters it is 2+ weeks (like I said before). This Saturday I got a letter from Donetsk sent on August 02.
Remember, the lottery entry goes to Kentucky, not to New York.
Sincerely,
