The first is DHL and UPS
FEdEx also has a certain reputation. Its advantage is that the timeliness is fast, and the price may be a little lower than that of the postal service.
But DHL, ups, and Federal courier companies calculate that the volume weight is multiplied by length, width and height/5000, so that for some bulky items, the volume weight will be larger, and the freight will increase accordingly.

When did the letter arrive in England?
Before Sir Rowland Hill published PostOffice Reform: ItsImportanceandPracticability in 1837, the British postal system was complex and expensive. Letters were priced according to distance and the number of pages, postage was generally paid by the recipient, and the charges were often different in different regions, so abuse of power was frequent, and the entire system was inefficient.
For the general public, sending letters was once a very luxurious thing. In order to save money, people at that time also invented a “crossedletter”; after writing a page of letter paper in the normal format, the subsequent content would be written on the same page by twisting the angle of the paper, and the whole letter paper was filled with various characters. The recipient needed to carefully identify it before reading the content of the letter.
