  -> Gracias

disagree  Henry Hinds: Vean mi comentario, en realidad es servicio a veces peor que el ordinario y existe un "Exprés" que sí es más alto. It just cannot be called what it's not. And Bush is soon to go.
27 mins
  -> The quality of your mail service is your problem, get hold of Bush, not me.

disagree  Claudia Alvis: If the source language is US English, then I disagree. In the US, Express Mail and Priority Mail are two very different services.
1 hr
  -> Lo importante no es el "source" sino el "target" que son quienes van a tener que entender de que se trata, aparentemente Colombia, Carlos Sorzano definirá que le sirve.

disagree  Henry Hinds: Well, I go with the "priority" part, but having used it I know it's anything but... much less "urgente". Maybe we could call it "super-snail"; costs more, takes longer. But I AM serious!
31 mins
  -> I've never heard of "super-snail". Let's be serious here!

disagree  Claudia Alvis: I keep agreeing with Henry. Express Mail is usually overnight and it's usually translated as 'Correo urgente. Priority Mail takes less than snail mail but longer than Express mail.

priority mail
Correo de Prioridad


Explanation:
La realidad es que no encuentro nada oficial o establecido al respecto, pero hay que señalar claramente que no se trata de correo certificado ni exprés, pues tarda lo mismo y a veces más que el correo ordinario y no viene con ningún servicio de certificación, registro o acuse de recibo, etc.

Hay otra clasificación que se denomina "Express Mail", cuesta mucho más y es entrega inmediata.

¿Cómo lo sé? Por haberlo ocupado.

Aunque lo de "Prioridad" también es un decir, no es nada por el estilo.

Me voy con lo literal, pero en realidad es una mentira. Me lo han dicho personas que saben y los resultados que se obtienen.

O sea que si nos vamos con lo literal no pecamos porque decimos la misma mentira pero sin aumentarla.

neutral  traductorchile: Que yo sepa no existe tal producto llamado "correo de prioridad" y sólo podría aplicarse a un adjetivo y no a un sustantivo.
30 mins
  -> No, no hay... el producto se denomina "Priority Mail", y gramaticalmente puede aplicarse aunque de hecho sea una mentira.

priority mail
entrega inmediata (priority mail)


Explanation:
Hay que tomar en cuenta que ¨priority mail´es el nombre establecido de un servicio de correo que ofrece la oficina de correos de USA. Se le dapreferencia de manejo a estos envíos y equivale a servicio de courier siendo mucho mas barato. Esto equivale a lo que se indicaba antes en Mexico que por desgracia no es efectivo.Se podría decir Manejo prioritario de correo pero hasta los hispanos le llaman PRIORITY MAIL. El ponerlo en Inglés no es mucho pecado.
