If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame with the heading “Pay Attention!”, carefully read everything that is written in it.

In these information blocks you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.

If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the destination country, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the destination country / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived in Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.

To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery Time Calculator"

If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, but the parcel takes more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and that’s why they are misleading.

If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel “the item pre-advised” / “Email notification received” does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by following the link: .

If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail items.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new parcel takes more than a month, this is normal, because... Parcels go on different routes, in different ways, they can wait for 1 day to be sent by plane, or maybe even a week.

If the parcel has left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who is delivering the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.

If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Reception / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can look at the breakdown of the main statuses of international mail:

If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.

If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read these instructions again, and again, until you are completely clear;)

It is important for citizens who send or receive this type of mail to know how to track a registered letter. We will tell you how to control the forwarding of registered mail in this article.

How does a registered letter with notification differ from a simple sending?

The sender does not have to register regular letters anywhere - he simply puts the correspondence in the mailbox or hands it over to a postal worker for sending. A simple letter will be delivered to the recipient in his home mailbox. Unlike registered shipments, regular letters do not have a tracking number.

Whereas each registered letter (including those sent with a notification), after registration, receives an individual identifier (tracking number, tracking number), which is entered by the post office employee into a unified parcel accounting and control system and recorded in the receipt issued to the sender after receiving the letter at the Russian Post office.

Using this identifier, the shipment can be tracked at any stage of shipment. Any person who knows the tracking number for this letter can obtain information about the status of the shipment.

How to track (find) a registered letter by ID

On the Russian Post website, you can track a registered letter using the service located at: www.russianpost.ru/Tracking20 (identifier numbers should be entered without inserting spaces).

Don't know your rights?

To confirm his desire to find a registered letter by identifier, the citizen will also need to enter a control code consisting of 5 digits.

Due to high workload, post office workers do not always have time to enter information about items directly on the day the letter is registered at the post office. As a rule, information about correspondence is entered into the database only after 2-3 days. That is why citizens who try to check a registered letter on the day it is delivered to the post office often cannot find data about the item.

After receiving information about the status of a registered letter in this way, a citizen can subscribe to the data mailing - then he will be able to receive automatic notifications to his email address when the status of the parcel changes.

A subscription is issued after entering the user’s email address in a special line and confirming by clicking the “Subscribe to E-Mail Notifications” button.

Registered letter status

Registered letters sent within the Russian Federation go through several stages of forwarding, namely:

1. Arrival at the sorting center of the dispatch department.
2. Departure from the dispatch department sorting center.
3. Arrival at the sorting center of the addressee's post office.
4. Departure from the sorting center of the recipient's branch.
5. Arrival of the shipment at the place of delivery.
6. Delivery of the shipment to the addressee.

So, now senders and recipients of registered letters know that any shipment can be served by entering identifier data.

On the Russian Post website, you can check a registered letter by entering the identifier numbers in a special column on the tracking page. If you subscribe to the mailing list of shipment data, the citizen will be able to systematically receive the latest information about updates to the status of the letter.

The possibility of instant transmission of information via the Internet does not negate the demand for traditional delivery - postal. If it is necessary to transmit original documents or information on paper, the most popular service is still postal service. To protect the contents of the shipment, users of postal services prefer to send correspondence by registered mail. This status gives the sender the opportunity to track a registered letter: Russian Post, along with other members of the Universal Postal Union, provides such a service. Moreover, tracking can be carried out by both participants in the correspondence.

What is a registered letter?

Registered mail is a registered mail item. Unlike the usual one, which the sender throws in the mailbox, Russian Post accepts registered mail under its responsibility for forwarding. When registering a letter, the sender will receive a receipt, and it will be handed over to the addressee personally against a signature.

Before sending a registered letter, you should select the mailing class, since Russian Post provides two options - registered letter and first class registered letter. The second is sent by faster airmail and allows for greater weight and envelope size. So, if the maximum size of a registered letter is 229X324 mm, and the weight is 100 g for shipments within Russia, then the option with a higher status can weigh five times more, and the permissible parameters of the envelope should not exceed 250X353 mm.

For correspondence abroad, only registered letters are provided (permissible maximum weight - 2 kg); the geography of delivery of first class registered letters is limited to Russia.

How much does a registered letter cost?

Russian Post clients may be interested in how much it costs to send a registered letter:

• the cost of a registered letter in 2017 is from 41 rubles. when departing to a populated area in Russia;
• sending correspondence to other countries will cost from 110 rubles;
• The tariff for sending registered first class mail depends on the weight and region and ranges from 66 to 236 rubles;
• notification and changes or corrections to the delivery address will incur additional charges.

You can find out in advance how much a registered letter costs on the Russian Post website. The postal calculator will help you calculate not only the cost of a registered letter, but also the delivery time. To do this, you need to indicate the points of departure and destination, weight, select the delivery method (regular, expedited or courier) and the required additional service in the appropriate column.

Mail ID

To track a registered letter and find out its status, you will need the postal identifier or track number indicated on the check. The track number of a registered letter with a destination in Russia consists of 14 digits. The postal identifier for international shipments contains 13 characters - numbers and capital letters of the Latin alphabet.

You can track a registered letter using the Russian Post ID on the operator’s official website.

Tracking a registered letter on the Russian Post website

To check a registered letter by ID, you need to go to the Russian Post website; tracking will not require registration. But the service of sending notifications by track number is available only to registered users.

You must enter the tracking number in the input field. There should be no spaces between the numbers, even if some symbols on the check are located at a distance. The tracking service allows you to find out the location of several shipments; in this case, you need to enter each track number sequentially, separated by spaces.

Each stage of sending a registered letter is recorded in the postal system, and the data is entered into the database. Consequently, the sender will also have access to information on the movement of the letter:

• location and date of dispatch;
• next destination and post office number;
• whether the letter reached the addressee.

If the registered letter could not be delivered to the addressee, then it will be stored at the post office for 30 days from the date of receipt. The storage period for a registered letter will be extended to two months if the addressee submits a corresponding application.

He must pick up the registered letter within the prescribed period, otherwise it will be considered unclaimed and destroyed after six months of storage.

FAQ

What does NULL status mean (response from user nickname CTRL-F)
As China Post explains to its clients, the introduction of new statuses in tracking international shipments is intended to remove the accusation against China Post of unreasonably increasing the time it takes for parcels to arrive in Russia, etc. NULL status – no parcel in China (has already cleared customs and is interpreted as a departure of an airplane flight). The next entries after NULL are information about transit movement at airports along the route of the parcel (airport coding according to IATA). Example PEK - Beijing, PVG - Shanghai, FRA - Frankfurt. And the last entry is the destination country code. This information was sent to me by my regular supplier from China.

Russian Post is the national state postal operator of Russia, a full member of the Universal Postal Union, providing domestic and international postal services. Receives, sends and receives postal items: parcels, small packages, parcels and correspondence; provides financial and delivery services to both individuals and businesses.

Russian and foreign online stores often send orders to customers using this postal service or integrate it with its delivery to provide high-quality and inexpensive services. For example, on the basis of post offices, I organized express delivery and order pick-up points, reducing the time for issuing orders across Russia to 2-5 days. Some transport companies combine their cargo transportation capabilities with the vast resources of the national postal operator. Thus, she recently created a joint project with Russian Post called “Rural Delivery” for delivery to remote locations, regional and district centers of Russia, where there are no own branches.

According to the press center, in the 1st quarter of 2018, Russian Post processed 95.7 million international mail items, and more than 60% of online shoppers used delivery services. In 2018, the second stage of a sorting center will be built in Vnukovo and in 3 years the network of logistics centers will be expanded throughout the country. According to e-commerce experts, the growth of international incoming shipments will continue, mainly due to parcels from China.

Active promotion of such large Chinese stores as , Banggood on the Russian-language market, as well as new players that are rapidly gaining popularity, and , have significantly increased the flow of incoming mail. Nevertheless, Russian Post continues to provide quite high-quality services for the delivery of parcels, both international and domestic.

Tracking parcels in Russia

When registered, a postal item is assigned a tracking number, with which you can track when it was sent, stages of movement and the date of receipt at the post office. The tracking service allows you to monitor the receipt of your shipment and is especially useful in resolving disputes with the seller in case of detected discrepancies. The name and address of the recipient will help you make sure that the package is going to its destination, and the weight of the shipment will help you roughly estimate the contents of the attachment. The latest delivery status will inform the sender that the item has been successfully delivered.

In addition to simple letters, all other shipments within Russia are always sent as registered. Incoming international letters and small packages can also be sent as unregistered. In these cases, you can only rely on the integrity of the sender or seller and the absence of various excesses. If a parcel is lost or not sent without evidence of non-receipt, neither postal services nor sellers will refund money for the goods and shipping.

Tracking data will also help when filing claims for failure to meet delivery deadlines. The Russian Post website directly states liability for violating these deadlines.

Tracking Russian Post parcels by identification number

The barcode postal identifier (SPI) for domestic Russian Post items consists of 14 digits, where:

• the first six digits indicate the recipient's post office code,
• the next two digits indicate the month the barcode identifier was printed,
• numbers from ninth to thirteenth - unique departure number,
• and the last digit is the control digit.

After paying for the forwarding service, the cashier will issue a fiscal receipt, which, in addition to the standard cost and name of the service, will indicate the RPO number (registered mail), this is the tracking number - the postal identifier of the Russian Post. In the RPO line, the last digit in the check is printed separated by a space, but it must be entered without spaces.

It looks like this on a cash receipt:

RPO tracking is instant - upon acceptance, the post office employee enters information into the database, and the first status “Accepted at the post office” will appear when tracking Russian Post by ID immediately after sending. The postal identifier is an excellent tool for monitoring the movement, delivery times and weight at each stage of the journey of the delivered item.

Tracking Russian Post by international shipment number

For international postal items, the regulations of the Universal Postal Union have approved a unified track code standard. The type of postal item is determined by the first two Latin letters, the next nine digits in the tracking number consist of a unique eight-digit number and the last verification digit. The last two Latin letters in the tracking number indicate the country of departure. It is impossible to determine the destination country by the track number.

Examples of departure numbers:

• CQ---US (CQ123456785US) – parcel from the USA,
• RA---CN (RA123456785CN) – small package from China,
• RJ---GB (RJ123456785GB) – departure from the UK,
