Occasionally, when I send a parcel to an acquaintance in Japan, I use the post office EMS service. Since it is a foreign country, the rate is expensive, so it is always good to check the rate in advance before sending.
First of all, EMS is an international express mail service that delivers letters, documents, and parcels to foreign countries in the fastest and safest way according to a special agreement signed by the Postal Service Headquarters with a reputable postal authority in a foreign country. 우체국 EMS 요금표
Depending on the type of post, the country of origin and rates are different. Delivery takes 2-4 days on average, but it varies depending on the type and region of the item.
To check rates by country, first search for ‘post office’ on the portal to see the website. 좋은뉴스
Go to the homepage and click International Express (EMS) >> Rate Information by Country >> Delivery Time/Price Inquiry in the main menu.
After entering the shipment item, destination, and weight, click Search to display the search result on the screen below.
Estimated delivery time and applicable charges are displayed together. It may take an additional day or more, and the receipt date is excluded from the delivery lead-time, and there may be delays in the case of holidays and customs clearance.
Please note that international express (EMS) shipping conditions differ depending on destination and item, so please check in advance.
And countries where EMS shipping is not possible can be shipped with EMS premium.
Let’s compare rates in the same country as an example.
You can see that there is a difference between the estimated delivery time and the applied fee.
You can also compare rates from different countries with a simple table.
In addition, you can use the super express mail service for some countries such as Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Not all items can be sent by international mail, so it would be good to know in advance about the items that can be shipped.
For more information, please use the website of the post office or the nearest post office or customer center (1588-1300).
