What is the difference between a registered packet, a parcel, and EMS?
A registered small packet (RR...MN) is for lightweight tracked items up to about 2 kg at lower cost. An ordinary parcel (CP...MN) suits heavier goods, commonly 2-20 kg, where price matters more than speed. EMS (EE...MN) is the express option, the fastest and most fully tracked, but the most expensive. All three are traceable; ordinary unregistered letter post is not.
