I'd like this letter to go by EMS. What's the rate?
$7.65 for up to 2 pounds.
Thank you. I hear the EMS is the next day service. Is that true?
Well, it's true within America, but now you are in Beijing. The letter has to go through customs and get registered there. Anyway, it's faster and safer than ordinary mail.
Then how long will it take to get to New York?
It depends. Usually 3 to 5 days.
I see. How much does that come to?
That'll be $15.30.
