‘항공편이랑 배편 중에 어떤 거로 보내시겠어요?’
Korea Post offers two main ways to send mail overseas: ‘항공(by air)’ and ‘배(by sea)’. The advantage of air is that it's fast, so it's great for sending time-sensitive packages, but it's expensive, so it's best for lightweight items. The advantage of sea is that it's slow, so it's best for sending bulk items or large, heavy items that don't need to be timed. It's also economical because it's cheaper than air.
Express Mail Service (EMS) is an international express mail service that delivers parcels and documents quickly and reliably to many countries. It's one of the fastest options and comes with tracking and insurance.
‘서류에 보내시는 물품 목록, 개수, 가격까지 영문으로 작성해 주셔야 돼요. ’
To send a parcel overseas, you need to fill out the information carefully: the sender's and recipient's name, phone number, address, and zip code, as well as the item(s), number, and price of the parcel. In addition, you need to write the recipient's country name in both English and Korean. All documents must be written in English, except for the sender's address. Finally, the sender must sign.
여기 금지 품목에 해당하는 건 없으시죠?
When you're trying to send a package internationally, there are certain prohibited items that you can't send. This varies by country, but generally you can't send laptops, cash, sprays, flammable materials, and more.
There are also items that you can't send in domestic parcels, such as batteries and certain liquids.
