priority
The fastest way to send a letter
If you want your letter to reach the addressee as fast as possible or by a certain date, or you wish to express the special attention you pay to your addressee, choose the priority letter.
- Priority ensures that invitations, company bills, reminders, important tenders and court appeals get to their destination on time.
- The advantage of priority mail is that it is fast, and letters with the distinctive blue "PRIORITY" mark are given priority at every stage of postal handling, from the moment they are picked up until the first delivery attempt.
- Useful information: For information about weight and size limits, see the General Terms and Conditions for Postal Services.
