kiinteähintainen yön yli -toimitus Explanation: For Express Mail, the US Postal Service (USPS) lists the shipping time as "Overnight to most areas", eli yön yli -toimitus. Overnight type flat rate on kiinteähintainen yön yli -toimitus. Yön yli -toimitus ei ole taattu joka ikinä tapauksessa, mutta sen tyyppistä toimitus on kyseessä. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-02-24 15:13:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- First Class Mail letters are restricted by the US Postal Service to those 1/4" thick to qualify as a "flat" item. Earlier, I thought "flat rate" meant fixed price (it usually does) but in this case "flat" means not over 1/4" in thickness. Ah, the vagaries of local English language variants...
