It is not easy to meet with friends because of the corona virus. If you have an acquaintance abroad, it becomes more difficult to meet. This is because the situation of Corona is worse abroad than in Korea. If you want to send a parcel to an acquaintance abroad, you can use the post office EMS service. I will explain what kind of service EMS is, looking at the EMS rate table at the post office.
What is Express Mail Service (EMS)? 우체국 EMS 요금표
Post Office EMS is an international express mail service that delivers urgent parcels, documents, and letters to overseas countries safely and quickly. As this is a service provided by the post office, it is handled according to the agreement signed by the Postal Service with foreign postal authorities. EMS shipments are possible to 101 countries as of 2020, since business started for Hong Kong and Japan in 1979. 좋은뉴스

In addition to EMS, the post office also provides EMS premium and super express postal service. EMS premium via UPS is slightly faster than EMS. The fastest service is the super express mail service. This service is only available to some countries such as Hong Kong and Japan, and is a super express international mail service that delivers from 09:00 to 17:00 the next day.
If so, how long will it take for normal EMS delivery? Based on documents that do not require customs clearance, if they are received in Seoul by 12:00 am, they will be delivered the next day to 6 days. Urban areas with direct flights (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.) take 3 to 4 days next month, and 4 to 6 days for other areas and countries. It may take more time if it is received after 12:00 in Seoul, or if it is an item that requires customs clearance.
By accessing the website of the Internet Post Office, you can quickly check the whereabouts of EMS international mail.
