Faster postal service
Priority Mail is a U.S.
Postal Service shipping class offering faster delivery than standard mail, typically within one to three days.
The flat-rate pricing for boxes of any weight makes it popular for heavier shipments: I sent the books priority mail so they'd arrive by Friday.
Other postal services offer similar tiers under different names.
