What status should the parcel be? Decoding the status of international postal items. Problematic and unpleasant parcel statuses

Statuses in Aliexpress are information about what stage your order or package is at. It is necessary to distinguish between statuses order(waiting for payment, payment verification, order processing) and statuses parcels(the parcel arrived at the sorting point, left customs, export, import). The order status is assigned to the order by the website itself and information about it can be seen in the order information. The status of the parcel is assigned by the post office and customs and is tracked on specialized websites.

We will look at both types of statuses and figure out what they mean.

Aliexpress order statuses

This order is awaiting your payment- Waiting for payment.

This status is assigned to the order immediately after clicking the Place Order button - until payment is made. The time given to the buyer to pay for the order is indicated below in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not paid within this time, it will automatically close and change to Closed status.

Your payment is being verified– Aliexpress verifies your payment.

Immediately after paying for the order, the payment is sent for verification by the site, and the order status changes to Your payment is being verified. Payment verification usually takes 24 hours, after which it is time for the seller to send the order

– The seller is processing your order

The order status changes to The supplier is processing your order. The time for sending an order is set personally by the seller and is indicated on the product description page. In the order, the time allocated for sending is indicated in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not shipped within the specified time, Aliexpress will cancel the order. If the seller does not have time to send the order at the specified time, you can extend the processing time by clicking on the " Extend processing time" located under the timer. If for some reason you change your mind about placing an order, click " Request order cancellation" located there. You can read more detailed information about canceling an order in our article “How to cancel an order on Aliexpress”.

The seller has shipped your order - the seller has sent your order.

The order receives this status after sending the order and entering the track number into the system to track it. A new countdown timer appears in the order, indicating how much time is left until the end of the Buyer Protection program on Aliexpress. Button Request to extend Purchase Protection allows you to extend the duration of the Program if, after 40 days, the order has not been delivered. Button Open Dispute allows you to open a dispute (dispute) if the arrived product turns out to be of inadequate quality or does not arrive at all

Let's take a closer look at how to find out where the package is, when you need to go pick it up, and what basic rules are in place at post offices.

Russian Post operates at a modern information level. What does it mean? If some 10-15 years ago people sending or waiting for a parcel had no idea where the item was, now it is possible to track all transactions with postal items.

Many of us use the Internet, so it is possible to track the status of the parcel. After a long wait, the status “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” appears on the Russian Post website. What does it mean, what actions need to be taken?

How are parcels tracked?

This section is intended for those who are not familiar with the tracking process and have no idea how it is done. If you send something by mail, then after payment you should be given a receipt that indicates:

Full name of the sender (yours);
Full name of the recipient (to whom you sent the parcel);
recipient's postal address;
date and time of the transaction;
cost of services;
an identification number.

It is the last point that interests us most. If a parcel is sent across Russia, it has a 14-digit number. The first six digits always indicate the post office code from which the item was sent.

But how can you find out the number of the package that was sent to you? If this is a private person, then you can ask to dictate or write the item number. On the other hand, when it comes to a company or an online store, the manager must send either a check indicating the postal identifier or the identifier (number) itself.

When it comes to foreign online stores, for example, the famous Chinese Aliexpress, the postal number is displayed opposite the product. You can copy it or hover your mouse over it and check the status right away. Just keep in mind that parcels sent from abroad have a 13-digit identifier; at the beginning and at the end of it (between the numbers) there are letter designations of the countries of departure and receipt. But there are cases in which this standard is not met.

From departure to receipt: statuses

Before we begin discussing what “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” means, let’s look at other statuses.

Each parcel must undergo acceptance, sorting, customs (if sent overseas) and other operations. But there cannot be any exact standards for statuses, since everything depends on the geographical location of the sender’s and recipient’s post offices, and communication routes. As a rule, each parcel is sorted in the district center, in the regional center, then in those large cities where there is a transfer hub (airlines, railways, highways and waterways).

Information about the movements of the parcel will not bring any value to the recipient, unless the item does not arrive at the post office for a long time. Tracking at such a moment will help Russian Post employees check where the parcel stopped, at what stage and at what address. This work is carried out only when submitting an application to search for a postal item.

We are only interested in the item “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery”, after which other statuses may appear.

What to do when a status appears?

When this status appears on the parcel tracking website, you can safely go to the post office. You just need to check whether the item actually arrived at the department whose index you specified. The fact is that sometimes, for some reason, they are sent to someone else’s department. On the official website of Russian Post, it is mandatory to indicate not only the address, but also a point on the map indicating the operating hours of the branch to which it arrived.

There are other nuances - the arrival of a paper notification, SMS (if you indicated a mobile phone number when sending) or the absence of both.

If you see the status “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery,” then your parcel is definitely in the department indicated on the website. Before going to the post office, be sure to take your passport and check your mailbox to see if a notice has arrived. If it has arrived, then it needs to be filled out on the back of the sheet; if not, then write down the parcel number to dictate it to the operator at the department.

The status appears, but the parcel is not in the mail

Often you can see on the Internet or hear complaints from friends that the item “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” has appeared on the tracking website, but the parcel is not there, according to a Russian Post employee.

If such a status appears, it means that the department employees accepted the postal item, registered it, and it did not go anywhere. Therefore, here you need to focus on the competence and honesty of the department servants themselves. If you cannot resolve the issue peacefully, you can file a statement at the Russian Post reception or call the hotline. If the issue is not resolved, you can safely contact the prosecutor’s office (in the case of a very expensive product).

What statuses may appear after?

The tracking does not end with the status “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery.” The corresponding item must appear after you receive the parcel. But there is another outcome of events. Let's look at both:

"Unsuccessful attempt of delivery". As a rule, if a recipient comes to the post office with a question about what this status is, he is told that the postman did not find the addressee at home.
"Dispatching." This status appears when the parcel is sent to another post office that does not serve your street/town. In this case, you need to wait until the postal item arrives at your “home” office.

But it also happens that the parcel remains in someone else’s department for good. Then it must be handed over to you after presenting your passport and filling out the notice.

At what point does the status appear?

Many are probably interested in at what specific moment “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” appeared on the website. Often, many of us are looking forward to some order or gift from a friend that we want to pick up as soon as possible. And now, finally, the long-awaited status has appeared. Should we rush? Of course, if the post office has not closed yet, just be sure to write down the parcel number.

So at what point is the status “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” assigned? Russian Post immediately posts information on the website as soon as the operator scans the barcode of the parcel. But there may be glitches and delays on the server, so the registration time may be false or late. For example, the parcel was registered at 16:12, but its status changed only at 18:02.

Can I pick it up for someone else?

Let's take an example with spouses. Let's say that the husband ordered a parcel from Aliexpress, but the purchased item is intended for his wife. When the goods arrive at the post office, the spouse finds himself on an urgent trip on business. Can a spouse be given a parcel? This is prohibited by the Russian Post rules. On the other hand, if the wife has not only her passport, but also her husband’s passport (or at least a copy), then the parcel can be delivered.

In this case, the status “Waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery” changes to the appropriate one.

If not tracked

There are parcels that are not tracked. This is especially true for orders with free delivery from foreign online stores. How do you know that it has arrived at the right post office? The seller must indicate the approximate time frame for delivery of the goods. When this period has passed, you can go to the post office. Just in case, take your passport and be sure to write down the departure number. It may also happen that the parcel has been waiting for the addressee at the place of delivery for a week or two. Therefore, you can start visiting the post office earlier.

If any misunderstandings or doubts arise, please contact the employees of the post office where the parcel should arrive. Always indicate the postcode of only the branch closest to your home to avoid unpleasant situations.

The website's online postal tracking service will help you track the status and location of your parcel delivered by Russian Post.

The national postal operator of the Russian Federation, Russian Post, receives, sends and delivers postal items on the territory of the Russian Federation and other states. The branches of this national postal operator handle the sending and receiving of both domestic and international parcels. If parcels and postal items are sent within Russia, then the parcel is assigned a unique 14-digit identifier number consisting of numbers, and when sent internationally, an identification number of 13 characters (numbers and letters of the Latin alphabet) is assigned.

Both numbers comply with the S10 standard of the Universal Postal Union and parcel tracking can be carried out by both the sender and the recipient of the mail.

Features of Russian Post parcel tracking numbers

Russian Post track numbers differ by type of parcel and differ in appearance.

Packages, registered letters and small parcels have a 14-digit number.
Parcels and packages are tracked using a 13-digit code (4 letters and 9 numbers).

Explanation:

- The first 2 letters of the code indicate the type of shipment
- 9 digits - departure code
- The last 2 letters are the country of departure of the parcel
EMS parcels - track number starts with the letter E

Parcel tracking by shipment type ZA..HK,ZA..LV (Aliexpress)

Thanks to the cooperation of the Russian Post, this type of parcels with Aliexpress has a simplified registration system, which allows for shipment even faster and cheaper. It is worth considering that this type of delivery can only be tracked within the sender’s country; when the parcel arrives in the territory, the shipment will no longer be tracked, but after the parcel arrives at the recipient’s delivery location, a similar status will appear. The approximate delivery time is 25-30 days from the date of departure.

Parcel tracking ZJ..HK (JOOM)

Parcels with a number containing the letters ZJ at the beginning are parcels from the Joom online store, which also cooperates with Russian Post. This type of delivery is low-cost and is used mainly for the delivery of cheap goods and at the same time has limited tracking functionality. The fact is that Joom parcels, when tracked, can have one of only three statuses:

Package sent
The parcel arrived at the office
The parcel has been received by the addressee

That is, your parcel cannot be tracked at all stages of delivery, but important information that the goods have been sent or have already arrived at the post office will be known.

Problems tracking Russian Post parcels?

Sometimes problems arise with tracking Russian Post parcels. Most often this happens for the following reasons:

Not enough time has passed since the parcel was sent and the tracking number has not yet entered the database, since not enough time has passed since it was sent. It is worth remembering that the period can take up to 7-10 days.
The sender provided an incorrect tracking number. In this case, it is worth checking the number again with the sender and copying it correctly into the tracking line on our website.

How to track a Russian Post parcel?

Tracking the status and location of a parcel by the postal company Russian Post is extremely simple: to do this, you need to enter the unique track code of the parcel in the tracking line. After specifying the number, click on the “Track” button and find out the most up-to-date information about the status of your shipment by Russian Post.

If you need to save data on several shipments by Russian Post at once, then register in your personal account of the online parcel tracking service website, and track several shipments at once and receive accurate information for each parcel.

In order to determine which post office your parcel is located at, use our

Russians have recently increasingly ordered goods from other countries, especially on popular sites such as Aliexpress, Buyincoins and Ebay. It also happens that someone has relatives or friends abroad, and they send gifts or simply parcels to you in Russia. Delivery of goods within the territory of our country is carried out by Russian Post or other postal companies, and within the territory of the sender, the goods are transported by local carriers. When approaching the recipient, the status of the shipment changes, which is displayed in the online parcel tracking service. In the article we will tell you what the status “export from the country of departure” and all the others mean, as well as what to do if the parcel is missing or “stuck” somewhere.

Through what services can you track postal items?

The most widespread and popular service was created by Russian Post, it is called “Russian Post. Tracking postal items.” There you need to enter the parcels and confirm that you are not a robot. The system will show where the parcel is currently located. But, unfortunately, recently, on the same Aliexpress, parcel numbers have begun to be issued in such a way that it is impossible to track them through the Russian Post website. You can use others instead.

So, there are websites for tracking goods specifically from China, since a very large number of parcels are now coming from there. It’s called Track24 and is located on the website of the same name; there are also 17track and ALITRACK. The last 3 do not request verification of the robot, but immediately search for the location of the parcel using the entered postal item number. The 17track service also shows the approximate date of arrival at the recipient's post office.

If an item has disappeared from the tracking service or is stuck somewhere at one point for a long time, then it is possible that they forgot to add it to the program and you will no longer be able to track its movements until you receive a notification from the post office that the package has been delivered. In this case, you can write to the seller, attaching a screenshot from the Russian Post service. Tracking mail items or any other service that shows the problem. After the delivery period has expired, the seller, with your consent, or you yourself can extend the delivery period or return the money for an obvious reason. Money is usually returned quickly (within 3-5 days) to the card or account from which the payment was made, although not the first time. Sometimes the seller has to write several times to get the money back, or even contact the support service, because the seller does not make contact. It also happens that the money is returned or the product is ordered again, but the one that was lost arrives.

Preparing for shipment

This means that a package consisting of one or more items is being assembled or already completed and prepared for shipment. The preparation process also includes paperwork and labeling of parcels. Also at this stage, the seller checks whether payment for the purchase has been made and passed.

"Export from country of origin"

This is the second status that the package acquires during transportation, unless otherwise provided by the seller or transport company. “Export from the country of origin” literally means export from that country. This means that the parcel has a long delivery journey ahead.

The time given to deliver the goods to the buyer usually begins to count precisely from the “export from the country of departure” status. How long to wait for a parcel is often written when placing an order: some goods arrive within 30 days, and some within 90. Therefore, you should carefully read the delivery conditions when placing and subsequent payment for the order. If the parcel is sent by your friend from another country, then the wait is much less; these usually arrive in 10-20 days.

Arrival at destination country

When export from the country of departure is completed, i.e. the goods have left the seller’s country and crossed the border, the status of the parcel changes. There can be 2 options: either the goods immediately end up in the capital’s sorting center, or they will be located in a border, but already Russian city, next to the border that they crossed. One way or another, it will have the status “arrived in the territory of the Russian Federation” or “imported to the country of destination” in tracking services.

Arrival at the sorting center

Sorting centers are huge premises in a large city into which parcels and letters are received for further distribution and sending to smaller points or regional post offices. When a product is exported from the country of departure, it has already been determined where it will go next, to which city, sorting center and post office.

At the sorting center, parcels are processed automatically, since it is almost impossible to process a huge number of boxes and packages manually, so it is important that the index is written correctly (the address is not read here), otherwise the parcel will go to another place.

Arrival at the pick-up point

When the purchased product has gone through all stages of transportation, it arrives at the post office closest to the buyer. Within a few days, postal employees issue a receipt notice and deliver it to the recipient's mailbox. If the addressee does not arrive within a week, a second notice is issued. A parcel that has been lying unclaimed for a month is sent back.

If a person tracked the parcel through online services and saw that it was there, he may not wait for a notification, but come to the post office with the shipment number and, having named it and presenting his passport, receive a box with the purchased goods.

If he missed all the notifications and did not monitor the status for a long time, then when trying to understand where the parcel is, he may see the status “export from the country of departure” again, but now this country will be Russia, which means the purchase has been sent back. Only a dialogue with the seller will help here; he can stop the return shipment or send the goods again. But not all sellers agree to this, so if you are waiting for a parcel from abroad, do not rely on notifications from the post office, but check the location of the goods yourself.

Delivery to the addressee

Delivery to the recipient

Means the actual receipt of the postal item by the recipient specified in the postal item.

Flew to destination country

The postal item will be handed over to the post office of the destination country for delivery to one of the places of international postal exchange, and subsequent import/export operations.

This may take from 3 to 10 days.

The postal item has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country.

After the parcel leaves the territory of the sender's country and arrives at the destination country, such shipments are re-marked with untraceable track codes and are no longer tracked.

When the parcel arrives at your post office, you will receive a paper notification with which you need to come to the post office and receive the parcel.

Issued by customs

The customs clearance procedure has been completed, and in the near future the postal item will be handed over to the post office of the destination country for further delivery to the recipient.

Ready for shipment

Ready to ship

Means that the postal item is packaged, marked and will be sent soon.

Detained by customs

This operation means that the postal item is detained by FCS employees to carry out measures to determine the purpose of the postal item. When receiving goods by international mail during a calendar month, the customs value of which exceeds 1000 euros, and (or) the total weight of which exceeds 31 kilograms, in part of such excess, it is necessary to pay customs duties and taxes using a flat rate of 30% of the customs value of the goods , but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of their weight. If information about the goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to the actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need to conduct a customs inspection and document its results.

Submission

The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was discovered and the parcel was redirected to the correct address.

Import international mail

The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.

All mail arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation from air flights begins its journey at the aviation postal department (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in an electronic database. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered on where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.

The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. The choice of city where exactly the international shipment will arrive depends on the sender’s country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.

Unsuccessful attempt of delivery

Assigned if the postal operator reported that an attempt was made to deliver the item to the recipient, but for some reason delivery did not take place. This status does not reflect the specific reason for non-service.

Options for further action:

New delivery attempt
The parcel will be transferred for storage until demand or until the circumstances are clarified.

The parcel has arrived at one of the sorting centers and is being processed. After some time, the parcel will leave the sorting center for further dispatch to the recipient.

Customs clearance

Transportation of mail from one sorting center to another, towards the recipient. On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.

Export (content check)

The postal item was handed over to the customs service of the sending state for inspection and other customs procedures. If the parcel passes the customs check successfully, it will be sent to the destination country.

On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.

If the shipment is in the “Export” status, then it is impossible to track it (find out what exactly is happening to it); only at the import stage will you be able to see your package and monitor its further movement. The use of transit transportation and certain restrictions often delay shipments. However, if your parcel was sent more than 3 months ago, but has not received the “Import” status, then the sender needs to contact the post office and apply for a search.

Export, processing

Indicates the actual dispatch of the postal item to the destination country.

The “Export” status includes the transfer of the parcel to a foreign carrier, which, by land or air transportation, transports it to the MMPO of the destination country. As a rule, this status is the longest and the transition to “Import” may take some time. This happens due to the characteristics of flight routes and the formation of the optimal weight for transporting it by plane. For example, shipments from China may be delayed due to the fact that cargo planes can carry at least 50 - 100 tons.
On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.
