Editor: "surface mail"?

I think 平邮 primarily refers to the class of service (ordinary/unregistered), not the method of transport. It is common for 平邮 items to be sent by air rather than by surface transport.

For example:
国际小包裹平邮是指重量在2kg以下的包裹通过航班方式邮寄至国外,主要是指中国邮政小包和香港小包平邮。

In English postal terminology, "surface mail" contrasts with "air mail" (mode of transport). 平邮 appears instead to contrast with express and registered services.

"surface mail" would correspond more closely to 水陆路.
