Mail important parcels (II); Domestic mail (국내우편)

국내우편 보낸는 법
1. Asking the clerk what types of services are available (이용 가능한 서비스의 종류 확인)
2. Telling the clerk if it's domestic mail (국내우편을 부치겠다는 의사표현)
3. Asking the clerk to recommend an appropriate postal service. (적절한 서비스를 추천해 줄것을 요청)

Certified Mail: Important documents. You can get a return receipt when the addressee (수신자) receives the mail and signs the return receipt as a proof of receiving the mail. You get the code as well. (분실되면 안되는 중요한 우편을 부치는 형태로 수신자가 우편을 접수하면서 서명을 한 return receipt을 발신자에게 송부해 주는 우편의 형태)

Restricted Delivery: placing limitations on who may receive an item (우편을 수취하는 사람을 정하는 우편형태)

Money order (전신환); International Postal Money Order (국제전신환), Domestic Money Order (국내전신환)

TASK
1) After this conversation, what kind of mail would the customer most likely choose?
2) You would like to send some important documents to the immigration office. Ask the clerk what options they have.

Customer: I also have an important application packet to send.
Clerk: Where’s it going, overseas or domestic?
Customer: Oh, it’s going to a testing center back east. Domestic. And it doesn’t have to get there for a week.
Clerk: Priority mail should be sufficient for that.
Customer: Oh. Well, I think I'd like some kind of verification that it has been received. I don’t want it to get lost under any circumstances. Do you provide verification with Priority Mail?
Clerk: No, sorry, we don’t. In this case you might want to send it “certified” with a return receipt. You’ll receive a signed notification that it has been received. It is also traceable through a code that goes with it.
