But I'll bet it gets there in a reasonable time frame. I just received a check sent "2 day priority mail" -- took 14 days, and spent most of them stuck in a mail sorting facility.

Here in Denmark it's 1.78 USD to mail a letter, and that's delivered within 5 days. Next day delivery is 4.7 USD.

I reasonably trust it'll get delivered on time, but I haven't tested it.

This is letter pricing, for packages the private options are usually cheaper.

"A-Post" is 1.00 CHF, not 1.20 CHF. Still more expensive, though (but way cheaper than the huge prices quoted for Denmark below!).

Ah, you're right, not sure what I was thinking. It's 1.30 if it's a thicker envelope.

Mind you, Switzerland is a bit more wealthy than the US, and what is the cost of "not first class but regular post" over there?

Under 100g is 0.93 USD (0.85 CHF) for B-Post.
