"Three things lay on the doormat: a postcard from Uncle Vernon’s sister Marge, who was vacationing on the Isle of Wight, a brown envelope that looked like a bill, and – a letter for Harry."

If you mean in other cases, usually a professor brings the letter personally to an all-muggle home. Obviously the Dursleys wouldn't need to have the magical side of the world explained to them, so it was probably assumed that a letter through the muggle post would suffice. The response could have been delivered in any number of ways.
Speculation, though, again.

What is that, my first serious post in five years? And it's about Harry Potter? Ugh.
