3. 1. Helping a guest ship a parcel • (Sam inquired at the front desk about shipping a parcel.) -- How can I ship this? (The hotel has accounts with several parcel delivery companies. He could send the package by airmail or by two-day express services. Sam filled out an address label to go with his package.) ▓ Types of shipping: - air mail: transported by airplane - surface mail: transported by truck or train; slower than air mail - express: delivered very quickly. One type of express shipping is overnight – delivered the day after being sent.

4. 1. Helping a guest ship a parcel • (Alberto handed Sam a copy of the label with his tracking number. The computer calculated the shipping charge plus the service fee. Sam charged the cost to his room.) ▓ parcel = somewhat large piece of mail, e.g. a box. Parcels are usually wrapped in paper because they are too large for an envelope. ▓ A tracking number identifies a piece of mail sent by express. The number is used to find out where the item is – at its destination, at an airport, etc.
