Domestic or overseas?

From fastest (and most expensive) to least expensive.

EMS is the fastest and the most expensive. Trackable and traceable.
Air freight for small packages (also traceable).
Airmail.
surface mail
surface parcel.

Sending something home?

According to the wife, EMS will get to Canada in a maximum of 7 days. Things I have sent usually take 4 days if you send it on a Monday.

Express Mail Service. Sometimes called Priority post.

Yes, it is done through the regular post office.

Definitely EMS is best and fastest. I used it last year from Korea to Australia and on 2 different weekends posted boxes on Saturday (because it was the only day I could do it) and on both occassions they parcels were delivered on Monday norming. It is definitely much cheaper than other courier options but it is fully trackable.
