When sending letters in Hong Kong, postage cost is a major concern for many. Different weights, sizes and destinations all affect the final postage fee. Traditional post office pricing methods are complex, making it difficult to grasp actual costs. Fuuffy International Express Price Comparison Platform integrates major courier services in the market, allowing you to easily compare letter postage costs, saving an average of 30-50% on mailing expenses.
Letter postage is mainly determined by three factors: letter weight, size and destination. Taking Hong Kong Post as an example, standard local mail (under 30g) costs HK$2.0, while international postage starts from HK$3.4. But if your letter exceeds standard size or weight, postage may increase significantly.
Hong Kong Post divides letters into 5 weight tiers: under 20g, 20-50g, 50-100g, 100-250g and 250-500g. For example, airmail to Taiwan under 20g costs HK$3.4, but increases to HK$6.8 at 50g. Using Fuuffy platform, you just need to input accurate weight, and the system will immediately show the most economical letter postage options.
If your letter exceeds 235mm in length, 125mm in width or 5mm in thickness, it may be classified as "large letter" with additional surcharge. For example, a large letter to UK (under 20g) has basic postage HK$4.9, but size surcharge may add HK$3.5. Fuuffy's smart system automatically calculates these hidden costs, ensuring transparent pricing without hidden fees.
Postage fees vary greatly by destination and mailing method. Taking 100g letter to USA as example: Hong Kong Post airmail charges HK$18.5, taking 7-14 days; while choosing express service through Fuuffy platform may cost only HK$15.2, delivered in 3-5 days.
Below is 2024 latest popular destination letter postage comparison (100g standard letter example): Taiwan HK$6.8 (airmail), Mainland China HK$5.2 (airmail), UK HK$12.4 (airmail), USA HK$18.5 (airmail). Through Fuuffy platform, these routes can find alternatives 20-40% cheaper than post office on average.
For important documents, consider registered mail (post office adds HK$13.5 registration fee), or choose tracking-enabled courier service through Fuuffy at possibly lower price. For non-urgent letters, selecting economy mailing option saves most postage. Fuuffy's one-stop comparison helps you easily find best value options.
Besides choosing proper mailing method, several techniques can help reduce letter postage: 1) Use standard envelopes (under C5 size); 2) Combine multiple letters to share cost; 3) Avoid peak seasons before holidays; 4) Use Fuuffy's bulk mailing discount plans.
