International Standard is 1st/2nd class

International Priority can be both depending on where you get it from. The locker class it as a special without a timed deadline, in the parcels then its normal mail.

Where it comes from and what agreements we have with them depend on whether we treat as specials or not, but as so many don't try to remember them just remember where you got them from is the best rule of thumb.

Any that arrive in our locker get sent out to the floor to be sorted with normal packets
