Dear Haihao:

Why not to use 'post' or 'mail' ? Do natives usually use 'send' ?

I'd say that for surface post/mail, "post" is more common in British English and "mail" in American English, but I'm not 100% certain.

For electronic mailing, "mail" is more common than "post" in all major varieties of English.

Molly, it seems 'mail' as noun is more common than as verb, right ? e.g. surface mail takes much longer than airmail
