What's the difference between express parcel and ordinary mail?

1. Ordinary mail is the general term for sending letters and parcels in postal service. Including ordinary letters and ordinary parcels, the delivery time is relatively slow. Surface mail is the slowest of all postal delivery services.

Speedpost service is different from postal service. It is an international express mail service provided by members of the postal department of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). Consumers pay more expensive fees for quick postal delivery service, which is usually used for important letters or mails that must be sent quickly.

3, surface mail is the slowest but affordable, 7 to 30 days nationwide. Surface mail is not like express delivery to your door. The postman will send the notice to your mailbox or doorman in advance, and users need to take the notice and the recipient's ID card to the nearest post office to collect the parcel.
