Service level "Priority" or "Economy"

Choose among "Priority" or "Economy" handling when sending international letter mails.  

Priority

Priority means that letter mail items are transported by air or using the fastest means of transport available. Priority items are given priority both in the country of origin and in the country of destination. In Europe, the average delivery time ranges between 2 and 4 days; in other countries between 3 and 7 days. If you want priority handling, please affix the Priority-sticker on the front side of the item. These self-adhesive labels are available at all post offices.
                 

Economy

If delivery time is not a priority, choose Economy for best value. There is no need to indicate that you have chosen Economy handling.
