Send a standard international letter

It is common to use standard mail to send letters without tracking or special security. In most cases, standard international mail is more affordable, but it may require a little longer to reach its destination. Choose this option when you want to deliver a personal letter or items of low value.

Ship tracked international mail

Tracked mail is an intermediate option between standard mail and international registered mail. The shipment can be tracked, but signing for delivery is not required. This service offers the ability to track online the journey of your correspondence and ensure its delivery. It is useful for sending contracts or replying to client requests. It can also handle invoices, invitations and many other essential messages.

Deliver an international registered letter

The international registered letter service provides added security compared to standard or tracked mail. When a registered item is shipped, the recipient must provide their signature to confirm receipt. This guarantees delivery. Registered mail is typically used for high-importance correspondence such as contracts, administrative documents or personal information.
