Efficient Delivery

Mail items will be given priority over ordinary letters/packets upon arrival at the destinations. It may take 7 to 14 working days* for mail items to reach the delivery addresses for most destination cities which are subject to situation of flight availability, customs clearance, aviation security check, uncontrollable circumstances, such as disaster, political risk, strike, war or epidemic, etc as well as the territory coverage. For destinations in extensive territory, it may take more delivery time.

*Sundays and public holidays are excluded for the purpose of determining the date of posting or arrival in Hong Kong for all mail items and for performance measurement under the performance pledges.
