Service Features
Sagawa Express's mailing service includes the following two types, selectable for the convenience of customers.
Both types handle one or more pieces of magazines, catalogues, etc. that do not require receipt stamps, at low prices. The Hikyaku Mail Express service delivers parcels in 3 to 4 days (delivery to some areas may take longer), while the Hikyaku You-Mail Express service delivers them in about 5 days after they are mailed to a post office, both directly to recipients' mailboxes. (According to postal laws and regulations, delivery takes about 3 days longer than regular mail.)

    Sagawa Express delivers magazines, catalogues, etc. up to 70 cm in size (total of 3 sides) and 1 kg in weight.
