The service comes with the following features:

Service Features
Destination	United States, Canada, Brazil, France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Turkey, Israel, Russia, Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, Macao, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
Item no.	Start with the prefix "L".
Delivery Speed	It may take 7 to 14 working days for mail items to reach recipients for most destination cities which are subject to situation of flight availability, customs clearance, aviation security check, force majeure events, etc as well as the territory coverage. For destinations in extensive territory like Brazil and Russia, it may take more delivery time. Nevertheless, mail items will be treated as priority mail in the destinations, speeding up mail processing. Sundays and public holidays are excluded for the purpose of determining the date of posting or arrival in Hong Kong for all mail items and for performance measurement under the performance pledges.
Mail Tracking Data	Many overseas destinations, including the USA, Canada, the Netherlands and Germany, will not provide delivery status for registered mail. If tracking information is of prime concern to both the sender and the recipient, e-Express Service is the best option for you. There are four tracking points: (1) Acceptance at counter; (2) Handed over to the carrier / Left for destination; (3) Arrival at overseas mail processing centre; and (4) Delivered.
Signature Service	Not available.
Certificate of Posting	A Certificate of Posting can be downloaded from EC-Ship Online Platform within six months from the date of posting.
Mail Segregation (applicable to USA)	Before tendering items for posting, senders are required to segregate mail items according to the cities (Offices of Exchange) assigned by the EC-Ship Online Platform.

e-Express Service items destined for overseas destinations are traceable on the websites of their postal administrations or of Hongkong Post (HKP) within six months from the date of posting. Instead of contacting HKP, the sender should trace his/ her items on the aforesaid websites within six months from the date of posting. HKP only accepts indemnity claims for total loss of an item.

In case the successful delivery status or the attempted delivery status of an e-Express Service item is still not displayed on the websites of destination postal administrations (or on the website of HKP, whichever shows the latest status of a mail item) two month after the date of posting, the item will be considered a total loss. If HKP is satisfied that direct loss has been sustained by the claimant as a result of the total loss of the item, an indemnity up to the following limits is payable to the claimant:

HK$1,000 (for any item weighing 500g or above); or
HK$500 (for any item weighing less than 500g).

The claimant should provide the receipt/invoice to substantiate the value of contents/the replacement cost of documents, which should tally with the information stated on the shipping label. No refund of postage shall be made to the claimant under any circumstances.

You can purchase extra insurance coverage by paying a premium of $11 per item with a maximum coverage of HK$5,000.
