I'd bet it's because the envelopes are photographed in some central location, the photos get sent at the speed of light but the physical envelopes only start getting to the last mile physical delivery people after.

Although what I find odd is that for residential delivery, I always get the mail the same day, only at my P.O. Box does the mail sometimes come 1–3 days later. If you look at the email, the promise isn’t “coming today” but “coming soon”.
