WHAT DOES SURFACE MAIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

surface mail

Surface mail

Surface mail, also known as sea mail, is mail that is transported by land and sea, rather than by air, as in airmail. Surface mail is significantly cheaper and slower than airmail, and thus is preferred for large or heavy, non-urgent items – it is primarily used for packages, not letters.
