Dear Friends,

I have to send a parcel from Hungary to France and the instruction says:

Send the sample by regular mail!

What do you think 'regular mail' means here? In what other way(s) can a parcel be sent from Hungary to France? E-mail? Or 'regular mail' means mail other than air mail?

Thank you.
