parcel post
Boxed goods shipping
Parcel post is a postal service for sending packages, typically at lower rates than express or priority mail but with longer delivery times.
The term dates from when postal systems first began accepting parcels alongside letters, creating a dedicated class of mail for heavier items.
I sent the books by parcel post to save on shipping.
In everyday usage, parcel post often just means standard ground shipping through the postal service.
