A parcel needs an address and enough postage to reach its destination.
The idea
Say I would like to send this parcel to explain what you need. Ask How much is postage? for the price and How long will delivery take? for the time.
Examples
- I would like to send this parcel to Canada.
- How much is the postage for this package?
- How long will delivery take?
- The clerk weighs the parcel at the counter.
- Can I track it online?
- Please write the address clearly on the box.

Watch out
Do not ask How much time? when you mean the price; How much is postage? asks about cost.
