According to my Polish dictinary(very small, for beginners), both mean 'to send'. They look almost same at a glance.

Przysyłać - imperfective verb (=unfinished; indicates that the action is happening now or it happens regularly)
Przysłać - perfective verb (=finished; indicates that the action has ended or happens only once)
> Both are usually used when someone sends something to you. The prefix "przy-" carries the meaning that something is coming (like in "przychodzić/przyjść" - to come, "przyjmować/przyjąć" - to receive, to accept (a gift, guests) etc.).
> Examples:
Moi rodzice przysyłają mi pieniądze co miesiąc. - My parents send me money every month. (=so the money comes to me every month)
Koleżanka przysłała mi list. - My female friend has sent me a letter. (=she sent it and it came to me)
Przesyłać - imperfective verb
Przesłać - perfective verb
> The difference between the default "wysyłać/wysłać" and "przesyłać/przesłać" is that the latter carries the additional meaning "to send something across", "to forward something (via mail)", because of the prefix "prze-".
> Examples:
Przesyłam dokumenty. - I'm sending the documents.
Musisz przesłać to innym. - You need to send it to the others.

Przesyłać and przysyłać are continuous (they are happening right now), przesłać and przysłać are already done.
Przesłać is to send something to someone, but if something is sent to you, you would use przysłać so:
Przesyłam tobie paczkę. (w tym momencie/right now)
ale
Przysłali mi paczkę.
