Letters and Packages

Express Services
Express services specialize in getting letters and packages to a destination the next day. This can mean spending $20.00 to send two sheets of paper to get somewhere by 10:00 am the next morning, instead of a few cents to have it arrive in two days by first class mail. Businesses use this service for critical items. Federal Express is the leading company. U.P.S. and the U.S. Postal Service also offer versions of this service. Most of the express services have convenient offices where you can bring your items, or, for an extra charge they'll come to you to get it. DHL is a major company specializing in international express service. All the major companies have sophisticated systems that allow you to track your package and be sure of its delivery. They advertise heavily and the competition is intense.
