 From 01-01-1920 parcels containing victuals only had a reduced rate. This was abolished on 01-01-1927.

 From 01-07-1921 a reduced rate for parcels up to 1 kg was introduced

 Rates up to 01-05-1923 are the inflation values of the tariff of 01-10-1916:

Up to 5 kg: 70 f; 5 to 10 kg: 250 f; 10 to 15 kg: 250 f; 15 to 20 kg: 350 f

 From 01-05-1923 the old zone system was reintroduced with the following distances:

I: 0 - 25 km;     II: 25 – 50 km;     III: 50 – 200 km;   IV: over 250 km

 From 01-10-1923 the zone distances were changed to:

I: 0 – 25 km;    II: 25 – 50 km;     III: 50 – 100 km;   IV: 100 – 150 km;

V: 150 – 200 km;   VI: 200 – 250 km;   VII: over 250 km  

If the distance between the railway station and the town office was over 5 km the sender had to pay, for inland parcels, the delivery fee to and from the station, as shown above. In the listing of the offices, such offices were marked beside the zone number.
