How many days does a valuable letter travel. How long does it take for a certified letter

If you believe the Internet, "Russian Post" is a "corporation of evil." Her credo is chaos. Break everything and lose for your money! One compartment - one window. Took a turn? Write your will. So, just in case. “There are many of you, but I am alone” is the most polite thing that you can hear from a postal employee. And why do they still not hang the portrait of "Hamla of the month" in a prominent place?

But maybe not everything is so bad? Not everything is lost?

Shifting responsibility is convenient. But what if we create some of the problems with Russian Post ourselves? What if we just don't know the rules and are pumping non-existent rights?

Calmly! Do not rush to be indignant in the comments: “They do not know the laws! Stand up for Russian Railways! " Just read to the end. We will tell you how to interact with Russian Post without unnecessary expenses and hassle.

Learning to distinguish a parcel from a parcel

According to Federal Law No. 176 "On Postal Communication", postal items include:

• letters;
• postcards (postcards);
• Money transfers;
• periodicals;
• small packages;
• parcels post;
• parcels.

In the 21st century, many of them seem irrelevant. We read not newspapers, but news agency feeds. We communicate and build a business by email. And we send money from card to card. But even geeks have to deal with small packages, parcels and parcels. What is it without them?

Small package- international postal item containing small items. The maximum weight is 2 kg. No special packaging required.
Parcel post- a postal item with an attachment in the form of printed publications (books, magazines, newspapers), business papers, manuscripts, photographs. The maximum weight is 2 kg. For parcels consisting exclusively of books - 5 kg.
Package- postal item for sending things. Minimum dimensions: 114 × 162 mm or 110 × 220 mm.

All shipments are divided into simple and registered... Plains are accepted and delivered without any receipts or signatures. I bought a stamped envelope, sent a letter, and the addressee will look into the mailbox and receive it. In the second case, everything is documented: a receipt is issued to the sender, and a notification is issued to the recipient.

Registered postal items are:

1. Customized(letters, postcards, parcels, small packages) - delivered against signature, if you wish, you can order a delivery receipt.
2. Valuable(letters, parcels, parcels) - when sending, the value of the investment is estimated, sometimes an inventory is drawn up.
3. Cash on delivery- postage is charged to the addressee upon receipt.

Why all these details? It's just that the conditions, terms and cost of shipment depend on the type of shipment.

Pechkin knows his business! But, as you understand, according to the current rules, you cannot send a poker by parcel post (only written correspondence and documents), and the parcel may weigh less than a kilogram. For example, you decided to send your beloved grandmother a book (500 grams) and a box of chocolates (300 grams) as a gift. Due to the sweet content, the shipment will be considered a parcel: it will be packed in a special plastic bag or cardboard box. And if there were only a book, it would pass for a parcel post.

But sometimes "non-standard" attachments are made out as a parcel post. For example, magnets, cosmetic probes, or seeds. This is done when the investment is not heavy and every minute counts.

First class vs EMS

There are the following methods of forwarding postal items:

1. Terrestrial- letters and parcels are delivered by rail, road and other land transport.
2. Air- delivery by air.
3. Combined- part of the way the departure travels on the ground, and part of it flies.
4. Accelerated- delivery times are reduced by several days.

In domestic mail, air forwarding is almost never practiced. As a result, shipments take a long time. The further, the longer. For example, the time it takes for a simple letter to travel from Ulyanovsk to Moscow is five days. Do you want it faster? No problem! Choose first class.

First class shipments- these are accelerated domestic mailings, delivery times of which are 25-30% lower than usual. In addition, handling and collection of first class items is always a priority and their delivery is not subject to seasonal restrictions. True, they are more expensive.

In other words, first class shipments are delivered quickly and wherever you go. The main deadlines for their shipment are in a special table.

But only letters and parcels are sent first class. Not parcels! And this is where the time comes for exceptions.

Solve the problem. You need to send the seeds of rare plants to your uncle the forester. But in the fall, the road to his taiga village is washed away so that the only available transport is a helicopter. Arrives once a week. Question: how to deliver seeds to my uncle without waiting for winter, when the thaw is over? Solution: ask the post office to arrange the parcel as a first class parcel post. Uncle will receive seeds with the first helicopter.

First class should not be confused with EMS shipping.

EMS(Express Mail Service) is an express delivery service. It is handled by the branch of the Russian Post - the EMS Russian Post service. Domestic express delivery is carried out throughout the country, and international delivery operates in more than 190 countries of the world.

EMS is door-to-door delivery. The courier will pick up the package directly from your home or office and deliver it anywhere. EMS Russian Post has its own transport network, here they guarantee safety and give the opportunity to insure the shipment against damage or loss. Express shipping is more expensive than expedited shipping.

How to determine the cost

Shipping costs are influenced by:

1. Type of shipment: letter / parcel post / parcel; registered / valuable / simple / with cash on delivery.
2. Shipment method: regular or expedited.
3. Value.
4. Distance.

In the case of a customized parcel post, the fee is taken only for the weight, the distance does not affect the cost. The cost of a valuable parcel, as well as other valuable items, depends on the distance, weight and amount of the estimate plus 4%. So, if you estimated the parcel at one hundred rubles, then another four rubles will be added to the tariff for distance and weight.

Passport and other documents are sent only by valuable letters (parcels) with a mandatory list of attachments.

Senders often deliberately underestimate the amount of assessment. If there is no difference, why pay more? But there is still a difference. When the package is lost, the sender will be reimbursed the amount of the estimate, regardless of the actual value of the attachment. One hundred rubles is one hundred rubles.

Do not swear if the operator calls a different amount: this is not a whim. The calculator does not take into account the regional specifics of shipping, the cost of packaging and other additional services (more on them below). It is unlikely that you will be "cheated": the calculation of the shipping cost is performed by a computer, where the operator enters all the necessary parameters.

How to send correctly

Step 1. Determine the type of shipment

Parcel or small package? Custom or Valuable? Regular or Expedited Shipping?

It is worth dancing from what you want to send. Be careful: some items are prohibited from being sent by individuals. Here's a list. For example, sending a humidor with Cuban cigars to a friend in a nearby town is no problem. And the same set for a friend abroad is no longer possible.

Step 2. Making out

Parcels sent across Russia without an inventory of attachments can be collected at home - put things in a box, put them in a bubble wrap. They will check everything at the post office, glue the parcel with branded tape and put down the details. If you want to make an inventory, then it's better not to worry about the packaging at all. It is more convenient to collect the parcel directly at the post office: anyway, the operator will carefully check each attachment and enter it into the inventory.

By sending fragile fragile things, you can additionally protect yourself. Ask the employee to put a Warning label on the package. Then, according to the rules, it must be carefully packed and passed from hand to hand without throwing it away. You will have to pay extra for safety - plus 30%.

It is very important to write the recipient's address correctly. How to fill out the "where / to whom" form, read.

Packing postal items, filling in accompanying forms, for example customs, compiling attachment inventories, writing addresses and written messages - all these are additional services. They are paid separately and are not available in all post offices.

In other words, the operator is not required to write the address for you or fill out a customs declaration. If you cannot do it yourself, they will help you, but you will have to pay extra.

How to track

The movement of registered postal items can be monitored. In the international message there are track codes for this, in the domestic one - a 14-character identifier.

It is on the check issued by the post office. By entering the identifier in a special form on the site, you can find out where the package is.

You can also track postal items using the Russian Post application. Yes, they have an app!

The application is very convenient. You can find out at any time where the parcel is, and if its status changes (“Left the sorting center”, “Received by the addressee”), the application will beep. You can also find the nearest post office, check the zip code by address, and even chat with support! There is also a "unique" service for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But more on that later.

Russian Post has another service that few people know about. These are SMS notifications about the arrival of a registered mail item or its delivery. To activate this service, you need to fill out an application by mail, indicating your phone number. The cost of one SMS is 10 rubles. You can pay for the service upon receipt of the parcel. Fly in the ointment is a one-time service.

How to get it right

Step 1. We receive a notification

If a registered mail item arrives at your name and address, you will know. A piece of paper with the good news will be dropped into your mailbox - a notice. From it it will become clear what kind of shipment was sent to you, when, from where, and also how much it weighs.

Notices are primary and secondary... The primary is written out, as a rule, the next day after the parcel arrives at the department (take this type of shipment as an example). That is, if the parcel arrived on the 1st, then the notification will most likely be written out on the 2nd. This is due to the fact that correspondence usually arrives at the offices after lunch and it takes time to process it.

From the moment the initial notification is issued, the countdown begins during which the recipient must pick up the parcel. This is five business days. If for some reason you did not have enough of them and you did not pick up the parcel (left, got sick, there was no time), then a secondary notice will be written in your name. It also happens that a person did not come, because he did not receive the initial notification. After all, it can fall out of the mailbox, it can be stolen, it can go unnoticed, sticking to the wall of the mailbox.

If you come for the parcel on the day of receiving the secondary notification or the next morning, then the storage fee will not be charged. But if you show up only on the 15th or 22nd, you will have to pay 5 rubles for each day of "downtime".

Step 2. We go to the mail

The recipient must fill in the reverse side of the notice, indicating his passport data, surname and putting a number and signature. At the post office you will need to present a notice and passport.

According to the law, the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of Russia is a passport (birth certificate). A temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation (Form No. 2-P) has equal legal force. An international passport, driver's license, record book, pension certificate, and the like are not identity documents.

The postal officer will check the correctness of filling in the notification and the correspondence of the passport data. Then he will bring the parcel, weigh it in front of you (the permissible error is 70 grams) and hand it over.

Many people mistakenly believe that they can open the parcel on the spot and, if something is damaged inside, immediately demand compensation for damage. De jure, you can open a parcel at the post office in two cases:

1. Sending with a list of attachments. In this case, the operator, with the consent of the client, must open the box and check that all items are in place.
2. The outer shell is broken. If there are "traces of hacking", you can ask to open the parcel. In this case, the head of the post office is invited and a special act is drawn up. If it turns out that something is missing in the package, an investigation begins.

We write a power of attorney

You can receive a registered postal item in person or through a proxy. But, of course, the parcel will not be returned for no reason at the post office, even if it is your wife / mother / son and even if they come with your passport. You need a power of attorney.

The power of attorney must be in writing. Write: “I, such and such, living there, the data of the passport is such and such, I trust such and such, who lives there, the data of the passport is such and such, to receive registered postal items coming to my name”.

It is better to write exactly “registered mailings”. If you specify a parcel, then a small package or letter will no longer be given and the power of attorney will actually turn out to be one-time.

The power of attorney must be certified. You don't have to go to a notary! You can certify the power of attorney to receive mailings at the place of work or study, the place of treatment. It is important that the document is crowned with the main seal of the institution (organization) and endorsed by the signature of the head with a decryption. A power of attorney with a "stamp for information" and a stroke of some accountant will not work.

Will they bring you home?

People who value their time and hate queues can use such a paid service of Russian Post as home delivery. There are two possibilities.

1. Delivery of small packages. If the package weighs less than two kilograms, you can call the phone number indicated in the notification and order delivery. Delivery is made during the working hours of the postman at the address indicated on the shipment. The recipient must present a passport. The cost of the service is 100 rubles.
2. Delivery of parcels by courier. Remember when we said that residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg who use the Russian Post application have a privilege? So, using the application, they can order a courier (!) Delivery of a parcel. Delivery will be carried out within two days from the date of application (every day from 9:00 to 20:00). The parcel is handed over to the addressee upon presentation of the passport. The cost of the service is 199 rubles.

I will complain!

The life hacker has already written about what to do, and. Detailed articles - read, do not be lazy. Today we will tell you how to complain about a postal employee if, for example, he was rude to you (oh horror!) Or provided services in an inappropriate manner.

Method number 1

Each post office has a book of statements and suggestions. You can safely roll the slander right there. According to the rules, this book should be checked daily. When a new record appears, a copy of it is made and sent to the Russian Post control and reference service. The person in charge writes an explanatory note on the application.

Method number 2

Contact the Help Desk directly. Control and reference service"Russian Post" considers applications from citizens, provides background information, and is engaged in the search for postal items. Phone: 8-800-2005-888. Email: [email protected]

A little advice: before writing a complaint, remember that there is a person on the other side of the barricades with a very unenviable salary. But if your rights are really violated, be sure to defend them!

There is a great joke about the Russian Post. But not everyone gets it.

Russian Post is more than just an organization. Nobody denies that there are problems. Big problems. But before you scold the mail, try to make friends with it. As you can see, the rules are not complicated there. You will master it and you will be able to save time, money and nerves.

Anything to add? Write your comments!

Set deadlines for the delivery of the parcel. They reflect the time it takes on average for a parcel to get from the sender to the point of issue. These figures are usually indicated without taking into account the time it takes to receive the parcel at the points of issue and reception.

If the shipment is carried out using land transport, the parcel must go for the number of days specified in the table of control dates. If direct air transport is used for shipment, parcels should be delivered in the same amount as regular letters and postcards.

In large cities, parcels are exchanged between different postal facilities on a daily basis.

Specific figures

Within large cities and territories connected with administrative centers, the parcel should take no longer than three days. Additionally, the terms are set that are needed to prepare the parcel for delivery and dispatch. It should take no more than a day to receive and prepare a parcel for shipment. At facilities that exchange letters and parcels with main, main routes, parcels delivered by land transport should be processed no longer than eight hours, and parcels delivered by air - no longer than four hours.

Those parcels that are accepted directly at the post offices must be sent with the first transport. Parcels are transported between settlements at least three times a week. For hard-to-reach areas of the country, parcels can be transported much less often, depending on the circumstances.

Unfortunately, the actual delivery time of the parcel may differ from the target dates upwards.

From the administrative center to the center of the municipal district, according to the standards, the parcel should take no more than four days. If further delivery is required from this municipal center to the settlement, which is located on its territory, it should also not take more than four days. Thus, in order to calculate how long a particular parcel will have to travel, you need to take into account all stages of the route and add up the deadlines.

Already in seventy-seven regions of Russia there is a system that allows customers to track at all stages by the control number of the cargo. Moreover, this system allows you to track not only domestic shipments, but also international ones. This allows you to adequately assess the approximate delivery times, which often differ from the standards.

FSUE Russian Post is the largest state-owned postal operator in Russia and provides a full range of delivery services, including courier, letters, parcels, parcels and telegrams. Russian Post has its own fleet of aviation, railway and automotive equipment, which it uses to deliver postal cargo to all corners of Russia. That is why the operator is fully responsible for both the safety of the items and the delivery time.

Deadlines for delivery of items by "Russian Post"

The time it takes for the postal item to reach the addressee is called the delivery deadline. They depend on what kind of shipment is used and the region of delivery of the shipment.

If you need to deliver a message faster, you can send a letter or a parcel with 1st class shipment, or order an EMS service. For all mailings, delivery time is extremely important, and this is what the client pays for, therefore, a lot of attention is paid to their observance, including at the level of international agreements and, if they are not observed, the sender can seek compensation.

In what time frame does the Russian Post deliver correspondence and parcels? More on this later.

Written correspondence and delivery times

All letters are called written correspondence. And if today, with the development of e-mail and all kinds of messengers, private correspondence is a rare occurrence, then one of the best ways to contact the official authorities is to send your appeal by mail with a delivery notification and a detailed description of the attachment. Here the sender must understand that, as a rule, ordinary letters are delivered by rail and road, and take into account the time it takes for the letter to reach the addressee.

Delivery times for letters (excluding the day of receipt):

1. within the city of federal significance and the capitals of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - 2 days;
2. between the capital of a subject of the Russian Federation and the regional center of the same subject - 2 days;
3. between the regional center and the settlements of the same region - 3 days;

Letters between the cities of federal significance, the capitals of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, are delivered from 3 to 11 days.

The exact dates can be found by clicking on the link.

Parcels - types and delivery times

A parcel is called a postal item weighing from 2 kilograms, usually they are sent to various things for household and other purposes. If the parcel weighs up to 10 kg, then it is sent without additional surcharge, if the parcel weighs from 10 to 20 kg., Then it is considered heavy and is sent with a surcharge of 40%. Parcels weighing more than 20 kg. on the territory of Russia are not sent. Postal items weighing from 100 g to 2 kg are called parcels.

Excluding the day of admission, as well as holidays and weekends, parcels and parcels within the territory of Russia are delivered by Russian Post within the following time frames:

1. up to 1 day - upon delivery in a city of federal significance or the capital of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, provided that the parcel is received before 12.00;
2. up to 4 days - if the parcel goes between the center of a subject of the Russian Federation and regional centers of the same subject, as well as urban districts on its territory;
3. up to 4 days - if delivered from the regional center to the settlements of the same region.

The deadlines for the delivery of parcels by Russian Post within the Russian Federation can be found by following the link.

They range from 2 days for nearby cities, and up to 30 days for cities in remote regions such as Kamchatka and Sakhalin. The terms of delivery of parcels between different settlements of one region or subject of the Russian Federation, and settlements of different regions or subjects, are determined by adding up the terms of all stages of delivery.

When delivering parcels to remote and inaccessible places in Russia (Siberia, the Far East, the Far North), as well as areas in which the communication is difficult by weather conditions (spring thaw, off-road), the delivery time can be increased by 21 days.

Delivery times for 1st class items

Class 1 items include any of the items listed above. The main feature of a 1st class letter or parcel is the delivery method. For the provision of this service, air transportation is used, which significantly speeds up their delivery.

For all types of 1st class shipments, be it a letter or a parcel, the Russian Post has established the following delivery times:

1. 2 days - in cities of federal significance and capitals of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation;
2. 2 days - for delivery between the center of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and regional centers of the same constituent entity, as well as urban districts located on its territory;
3. 2 days - for delivery between the regional center and the settlements of the same area.

When delivering between different settlements of the same region or subject of Russia, and settlements that are located in different regions or constituent entities of the Russian Federation, delivery times are calculated by adding up the terms of all stages. If the shipment is accepted at the post office after 12.00, then the terms are increased by 1 day.

You can find out the exact delivery time by following the link.

The delivery time for 1st class shipments can be increased by 21 days if we are talking about remote regions of Russia (Siberia, the Far East, the Far North), or weather conditions (spring thaw and off-road conditions) do not allow delivery on time.

Delivery times for EMS items

EMS deliveries (from Express Mail Service) are an express mail delivery service provided by EMS Russian Post. With the help of EMS, you can send any correspondence or parcel weighing up to 31.5 kg in Russia, and up to 20 kg abroad.

Sending can be done at any branch of communication or by calling a courier at home. In the case of delivery within the city limits of any city of the Russian Federation, EMS items are delivered in 1 day, if they are accepted at the post office before 12.00, or an application for calling the courier is submitted by 14.00. If the items are accepted after the specified time, the terms are increased by 1 day.

In the case of delivery of an EMS item from the capital of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation to any locality of this constituent entity, the target delivery time will be 1-2 days for Moscow and 1-3 days for any constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

If delivery is made from a settlement to the administrative center of this constituent entity of the Russian Federation, then the control delivery time is 1-3 days for the city of Moscow and the region and 1-4 days for any other constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

When sending EMS shipments between different settlements of one constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the delivery time will be: 2-4 days for Moscow and the region and 2-5 days for all other constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The exact delivery time for EMS shipments to Russian cities can be found here.

We hope you find the above information helpful. In any case, when sending any postal item, keep the receipt to track your message by the track number or to make claims if the delivery time is not met

Even the most advanced technologies, unfortunately, will not help transfer the subject to your loved ones in another city. But this can be done by an ordinary parcel by mail in Russia. She will help you send a gift to your beloved grandson, household items and sweets to your son in the army or an ordered product. The only thing that is required from the sender is to properly pack the parcel and write the recipient's address. The rest will be done by the employees of the Russian Post.

How to arrange a parcel correctly?

As any are made out according to certain rules. Of course, these requirements are not a whim of the Russian Post employees. They are designed to simplify the reception, sorting and delivery of all shipments. All this ultimately affects how long the parcel takes across Russia. And you need to start by packing the items to be sent. You can do this at home by choosing a suitable box. It should be made of cardboard or thin plywood. If one is not found, it can be purchased at the post office.

The content, according to the terms of the provision of services by the Russian Post, must be weighing from 2 to 20 kg, and measuring no more than 1.05 m on either side. The minimum dimensions are 110 x 220 mm or 114 x 162 mm. It is advisable to pack fragile items so that it is almost impossible to break them. It is also undesirable that there are voids inside the box. All sides of the parcel are already glued by the postal employee with marked tape to prevent accidental opening.

Prohibited goods

It should be noted that not everything can be sent by mail. Prohibited goods include any flammable, explosive and poisonous substances. Also, you cannot send any banknotes in the parcel, for this there is a postal order. And, of course, you shouldn't even try to transfer antiques, jewelry and any weapons in this way. Sending parcels within Russia with such content is not only illegal, but can be dangerous for others.

Correct spelling of requisites

It is equally important that the recipient and sender addresses are spelled correctly. An error in one letter or number can lead to the fact that the delivery time for a parcel in Russia will increase significantly. According to the accepted rules, all the necessary data must be written in Russian and the recipient's address is indicated in the lower right corner, and the sender - in the upper left.

The addressee's details include the following data:

• postal code (consists of 6 digits, if necessary, you can check it at the post office);
• legal name of the organization or surname, name and patronymic of the recipient;
• full address, including the names of the region, district, settlement, street and house and apartment numbers.

They should be specified in exactly the same sequence. It is allowed to write the details of the postal item in different ink, except for red, yellow and green colors. They should be written in legible handwriting, especially the index. They can also be printed on a printer or typewriter. All this ultimately affects how long the parcel goes across Russia. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to this.

Acceptance of parcels at the post office

After the parcel is packed and the addresses are written, you can send it to the post office. The only thing you don't need to do is seal it yourself. This will be done by a postal employee using marking tape. Also, before shipment, any parcel is weighed, its contents are checked in case of suspicion or an inventory. The latter, by the way, is carried out only at the request of the sender himself.

In addition to the parcel, the employee will offer to fill out a form, in which you will also need to indicate the addresses of the sender and recipient. In addition, here you can write a small message for the addressee, if required. The Russian Post will once again verify all the data, because it is on this form that the mail will be processed. The employee will definitely inform you how long the parcel takes, focusing on the deadlines. The sender only has a receipt for payment, which must be kept until the transfer is delivered. In a disputable situation, he will help you find the postal item.

Parcel cost

The Russian Post has established uniform tariffs for all shipments, including for parcels. The final cost will be influenced by such parameters as the distance of shipment, weight and size of the shipment and some additional services. In addition, the price will still depend on the region and the complexity of delivery. However, an employee of the Russian Post will definitely inform you about all the intricacies.

The sender himself can also estimate the cost of the parcel. Russian Post publishes information on prices not only on its official website, but also at each branch. So, for a resident of Moscow, sending a parcel weighing 2 kg to relatives in Kaliningrad will cost about 200 rubles. In addition, you will have to pay from 30 to 40% of the cost if it is bulky, weighing more than 20 kg or has non-standard dimensions. For each ruble, you will also need to pay 4 kopecks.

Delivery deadlines

Perhaps the most important question that interests both the sender and the addressee is how long the parcel takes across Russia. This is influenced by many different factors, and above all the remoteness of the recipient from the receiving point. In order to make it easier for both employees and customers of the Russian Post to navigate, there are control delivery times. They help you estimate when the package will arrive at its destination.

In any case, this will happen no earlier than in 3-4 days. This is due to the fact that processing at the place of sending and receiving is given 1 day, and it still takes time to transport it. Transportation of parcels in accordance with the standards between administrative centers is carried out at least once every 3 days and not more often than once a day. It should be noted that during the holidays, delivery times may increase by 2-3 days due to the increased load on distribution centers.

Package Tracking

Those who are worried about how the parcel goes across Russia, and how soon the addressee will receive it, can always track it by a special one. It is assigned to any postal item and contains 14 digits. At the time of receiving the parcel, a check is issued, in which it will be indicated. Having such information, you can tell exactly where the package is at the moment. Moreover, it is not necessary to contact the employees of the Russian Post.

On the company's website, in a special section, you can see the status of the postal item. Depending on where the package is located, the following may be indicated:

• Arrived at the sorting center;
• left the sorting center;
• Came to the place of delivery;
• Delivery to the addressee.

At the first stage, all parcels are sent to sorting, where, according to the specified index, they are selected and packed. After the status is changed to "Left the sorting center", the parcels are transported to the place of delivery. Depending on the distance and method of delivery, transportation can take from 1 to 20 days. As soon as the status has become "Arrived at the place of delivery", you can go for the parcel without even waiting for a notification. By a unique identifier, an employee of the Russian Post will always be able to find it among others. After delivery, the status is changed for the last time to the value "Delivery to the addressee".

Conclusion

Russian Post keeps up with the times and today you no longer need to worry about how long a parcel takes in Russia. All the necessary information can always be clarified with employees, as well as using the available online services.

Very often, while waiting for delivery, you want to know when the shipment will arrive. The question of how long a parcel goes by Russian post can be answered based on official data. But this information is not an absolute guarantee, since various difficulties arise during transportation. Depending on what type of parcel was chosen for shipment, the terms vary.

Fixed postage times are the time taken to ship from where the item was registered by the sender to where it was received by the recipient. When determining fixed dates, the day of acceptance is not taken into account.

How many days does the parcel travel

First of all, the delivery time depends on the distance that must be covered for delivery. Data on terms are given in the table on the website of the Russian Post, which lists all administrative centers and delivery to them by land transport. For air delivery, the time frame is the same as for letter post. If the shipment is carried out within the territory of one city, then the parcel will be delivered within one day. When sent to the administrative centers of Russia, as well as to regional ones, the delivery time should not exceed four days. Sending a parcel from the administrative center to the district, as well as to the settlements of the district, the transfer also lasts no longer than four days. When sending between settlements of different regions, the delivery time is determined by adding fixed terms for the delivery of each of the points.

A calculator for calculating the delivery time of a parcel post by Russian Post is available at the link

The time given for the processing of a parcel sent by land transport should be no more than 8 hours, and by air, no more than 4 hours. The regularity of transportation of parcels between cities, as well as administrative centers, district, as well as settlements of districts, is carried out three days a week.

Based on the foregoing, it is possible to determine how long the parcel takes, only knowing the point of departure and delivery, since everything depends on the distance and location. This is influenced by whether you send it within your city or to regional centers.

How long does it take for a registered parcel, also depends on the terms of delivery. Since it has advantages only in that it is sent with a notice, and provides for the mandatory signature of the recipient. In the case of a valuable parcel post, the same is true.

How much a valuable parcel goes, its estimated cost does not affect. All additional services are required only to protect yourself from unsuccessful delivery. When sending parcels by international mail, the terms can be from one to several weeks. Therefore, many people think that their parcel will no longer reach, and begin to worry. It is good that there is a track code, and you can track it all, whether the parcel is shipped or not.

If you want to speed up the delivery process, then you need to use 1st class shipments, or express delivery. The cost is higher, but the delivery time is much shorter.
