Post to you by surface mail

A blast from the past!

"Post to you by surface mail" is an old-fashioned way of saying "send to you by ordinary mail" or "send to you by regular mail". In other words, it means sending a letter or package through the postal service without using airmail or express delivery.

Surface mail was the standard method of sending mail before the advent of airmail and express delivery services. It was slower and less reliable than airmail, but it was also cheaper. Mail sent by surface mail would typically take several days or even weeks to arrive at its destination, depending on the distance and the efficiency of the postal service.

Today, with the widespread use of email and online communication, the need for surface mail has decreased significantly. However, some people still prefer to send physical letters or packages through the postal service, especially for special occasions or for sending items that require a more personal touch.
