Poland - Priority or normal?

Today I received two covers from Piotr of Poland. It is part of the item transit time survey. Unlike Malaysia, the postal service in Poland offers normal and priority mail. Both covers (one normal and one priority) were postmarked on December 3, 2009, and common sense will dictate that the cover sent through priority mail should arrive faster than the cover sent through normal mail. Incredibly yet puzzling, both covers arrived on the same day - December 23, 2009:
The cover sent through normal mail.
The cover sent through priority mail (notice the blue label)

The awesome thing is the many stamps on the envelope, although except for one, they are duplicate of each other. Thanks to Piotr.

  1. There is nothing strange. Priority mail is delivered by plane to your country and normal mail to islands is also delivered by plane, but with smaller priority.
