Hikyaku Yu-Mail Express

Service Overview

Service features

Sagawa Express collects packages from the customer and takes the packages to a post office on the customer’s behalf. Post office mail carriers then deliver the packages as Yu-Mail Express.
The service can be used for delivery of printed materials such as leaflets and catalogues, as well as for CDs and DVDs.
Sagawa Express customers can select one of the following two mailing services to meet their needs.
Both services deliver magazines, catalogues and similar items not requiring accepting signatures/stamps, at low prices, starting from single item deliveries. The Hikyaku Mail Express service delivers parcels in 3 to 4 days (delivery to some areas may take longer), while the Hikyaku Yu-Mail Express service delivers parcels in about 5 days after mailing to a post office. In both cases, parcels are delivered directly to recipients’ mailboxes. (In accordance with postal regulations, delivery takes about 3 days longer than the regular mail.)
