Ordinary Letter

Starting from 1 June 2023, the delivery time for economy letters will be changed as part of the measures related to the continuous decline in the volume of letters. Economy letters will be typically delivered within three working days from the day of posting instead of the current two working days. The change will help maintain the necessary efficiency of the nationwide letter delivery network.

One letter, two delivery options

Description

The Ordinary Letter scheme is ideal for ordinary correspondence. Use it to send a letter to your friends or business partners. Just drop the letter in a mail box or at a post office counter and we will deliver it to the addressee’s letter box, P.O.Box, or delivery box.

A two-speed delivery system applies to some letter services. Customers may choose whether to have their letters delivered faster or at a lower price..

Posting

  • Declared value and other additional services are not available with Ordinary Letters

  • Ordinary Letters can be posted at any post office, handed over to authorised postal staff to be posted, or dropped in a mail box.

  • If you want to send an Ordinary Letter consignment, stick a stamp with the relevant face value, such as an A-stamp or stamps worth CZK 30 in case of standard letters (see the Pricelist for Services; PDF, 2 MB) to the envelope and drop it into a mail box.

  • Contractual consignors must always sort their consignments and mark the priority ones with a clearly visible note “D+1.” The Postage Registration Card for bulk mailers newly contains the chosen delivery option, such as Priority Ordinary Letter 50 g, Economy Ordinary Letter 100 g. The same requirement applies to any Registered Letters posted together with Ordinary Letters..
