Priority post
goes by air. Economy post goes by
ship and train.
The Irish post office told us this .......
Priority mail to most continental European countries
takes about 4 - 5 working days. Economy mail takes 5 - 10 days.
The reason for the 5 - 10 days variability is that the ship leaves
every few days - you could be lucky and have your mail arrive at
the sorting office on the day a ship leaves, or unlucky and have your
mail waiting a few days for the next ship to leave.

Swiftpost International is charged at the priority airmail rate plus
4.00 Euros.
Swiftpost International is a bit quicker than priority
airmail. How much quicker ? It varies from country to
country.
It can be a waste of money to use Swiftpost
International beyond Europe as it is sometimes no quicker than standard airmail
to some countries. The following chart is for letters only.
Do your own calculation for parcels.
