Sending Parcels (Overseas)
The post office provides various services to send letters and parcels overseas.
Post offices are indicated by signboards with the logos [JP] or [〒].
Methods of delivery according to speed are; EMS (international speed mail), air mail, SAL (economy air mail) and surface mail.
The length of time it takes for mail to be delivered ranges from a few days to a few months.
The cost of sending mail to the same country varies a great deal depending on the type of mail service used.
There are international delivery service companies other than the post office.
If you know someone who sends similar mail contents to the same country as you, it might be a good idea to talk to them first and then choose the delivery service that best suits you.
