How to send a package
Most modern people are much less likelyinteract with the Post of Russia, than it had to do a couple of decades ago. In order to communicate with friends or relatives from another city, you do not need to order negotiations, because everyone has cell phones. For the same reason telegrams became irrelevant, and correspondence by letters almost completely replaced the availability of e-mail and the ability to communicate in social networks. However, sending a parcel to another city is still most convenient at the post office.
Instructions
1
Make sure that the locality inwhich you are going to send the parcel, is not in the list of inaccessible to employees of the Post of Russia at this time of the year villages or cities. For example, delivery to a number of settlements in the Altai region may be banned in the spring due to flooding, as in some cities in the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions. Natural conditions have an insurmountable effect on the whole life course in some regions, therefore, in certain months, postal workers simply do not deliver any postal items there.
2
Familiarize yourself in advance (it is most convenient to do thison the website of the Russian Post) with a list of substances and items banned for shipment. These include poisonous and narcotic, and also caustic, flammable and explosive substances, weapons, electric shock, perishable products, as well as cash. If you ignore this warning and still try to send any of the above, then your parcel is subject to withdrawal, and as a sender you will bear administrative or criminal liability according to the legislation of the Russian Federation.
3
Pack the items for shipment toa cardboard box bought at the Post Office of Russia. If there is an empty space in it, then it is laid, for example, with newspapers so that the contents of the package do not "hang out" in it and do not hit the box walls from the inside. If your departure is very small in size and weight, then it can be packed into a special sealed and opaque plastic bag of the Russian Post.
4
Write the address of the sender on the package andaddressee with a legible handwriting, paying special attention to the writing of the index and the full name of the recipient. The postal worker carefully packs your parcel using special tape, weighs it in and gives you the paper to fill in (notice of delivery, inventory of the attachment), and also will sound the amount to be paid for sending the parcel. This amount is formed taking into account both the distance of the shipment, and the dimensions of the shipment, and the method of shipment, and the declared value of the investment, and the use of the cash on delivery. And one more clarification: often in the offices of the Russian Post there are queues, so make sure that you have 1-2 hours of free time before you go there to send the parcel.
