Airmail parcel post and Global priority

[Sir Ped of Ro]

 

to everyone

 

which are the main differences between them?!

do they have the insurance, tracking and delivery confirmation option?!

usually for one valuable comic which is the best method (shipping cost vs quality service provided)?!

 

thanks in advance, regards

I was under the impression that Global Priority was only usable to a certain maximum size package. I use Airmail parcel post which makes excellent time to other countries except Canada. It consistently takes weeks longer for the exact same air parcel to make it to Canada as say Singapore or England. Go Figure.

GPM up to 4 pounds. It is 3-5 days. I like it.

Global Priority 4-6 days

Airmail Parcel Post 6-10 days

 

That's to the UK. The difference in delivery time is minimal but the saving on the wallet can be substatial. I always ask for my books to be sent APP unless it a high value item as im unsure on insurance details.

Air Parcel Post is also the only way to get insurance. Air Letter and GPM are not insurable.
