FAQ

What does NULL status mean (response from user nickname CTRL-F)
As China Post explains to its customers, 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 – the parcel is not in China (it has already cleared customs and is interpreted as an airplane departure). 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.

There are countless postal identifiers, but Russian Post only supports tracking for two types, these are international items of the International Postal Union, and tracking of items within the country.

Parcel identifiers of the International Postal Union consist of 2 letters of the Latin alphabet, in which the type of item is most often encoded, followed by 8 digits and the last 9 digit is the checksum, followed by 2 more letters, and this is always the code of the country of departure.

Shipments within Russia are assigned a 14-digit digital code, and the first 6 letters are the index of the post office from which the parcel or letter was sent.

Parcel statuses of Russian Post

Let's take a closer look at all the possible statuses of international parcels heading to Russia and delivered by Russian Post, so that it is easier for you to understand where the parcel is located and how long it will take.

Accepted at the post office

The sender has filled out all the necessary forms, including the customs declaration, and the package has been accepted by a postal or courier service employee. If this is the first status, then the shipment at this stage is assigned an identification number, which is subsequently used for tracking.

Track number assigned

The sender has electronically reserved the internal number of the item at Russian Post and will soon transfer the item to the courier or post office.

Left the reception place what does it mean

This means that a domestic shipment within Russia or an international shipment from Russia was sent from the post office where the sender handed over the parcel to Russian Post.

Awaiting shipment from China, Singapore, Finland, Hong Kong, Spain

The post office of the country of departure notified the Russian Post about the incoming shipment. After the parcel leaves the country of departure, the next status will be Arrived in Russia

Arrived at the border of Germany, Italy, France, Spain

The parcel arrived at the export MMPO where the customs service checks the shipment for goods prohibited for shipment and prepares the shipment for shipment to Russia.

Exporting a shipment is one of the longest periods in parcel delivery. This is due to the fact that sending a partially loaded plane is unprofitable, so you have to wait until there is a sufficient number of parcels heading to one country.

In addition, to optimize logistics processes, shipments can be delivered in transit through other countries, and this also delays delivery time.

Arrived in Russia

Indicates the import of a parcel to Russia. When a parcel is imported, it goes from the plane to the Russian AOPP (aviation mail transport department). Here the parcels are weighed, the integrity of the packaging is checked, the barcode is scanned to find out the place of departure, the flight number is recorded, and it is determined which MMPO the parcel should be sent to. The period of stay for an international shipment at the AOPC depends on the workload of the department, and on average it is 1-2 days.

At MMPO (place of international postal exchange), the parcel undergoes customs control and registration. After this, service employees prepare the international shipment for dispatch within Russia.

Reception at customs

The parcel is transferred to customs inspection, where it goes through an X-ray scanner. If customs officers suspect that prohibited substances or items are being transported, the shipment is opened and inspected in the presence of an inspector. After this (if the fact of transportation of prohibited goods has not been confirmed), the parcel is packed again, an inspection report is attached and sent further along the route.

Issued by customs

The parcel is released by the customs service and transferred to the place of international postal exchange, where it is processed by the department staff.

Detained by customs

This status is optional and only appears when customs officers detect a weight exceeding permissible norm, cost more than 1000 euros and other violations. In this case, the recipient will have to pay additional fees. If there are no violations of customs legislation, the parcel will be released from customs.

Arrived at the sorting center

From MMPO the shipment arrives for sorting. There are postal sorting centers in all major cities. As a rule, the parcel is sent to the center closest to the MMPO, where logistics service employees develop the optimal delivery route to the point of issue.

Sorting centers are huge premises in big city, into which parcels and letters are received for their further distribution and sending to smaller points or regional post offices.

Sorting

Sorting center employees scan the barcode, register the item in the Russian Post system, then put it in a bag, which goes to desired city. Next, shipments are formed into containers, loaded and sent.

Transferred for delivery throughout Russia

Status means that the parcel has passed all import and customs control procedures and has been transferred to internal system delivery of items throughout Russia.

Arrived at the city sorting center

Upon arrival in the recipient's city, the parcel is delivered to the local sorting center. From here, the goods are distributed to post offices or other order delivery points. Delivery speed is affected by: traffic congestion, weather conditions, distance. For example, delivery within the city takes no more than 1-2 days, but within the region it can take about a week.

Arrived at the transit point

Optional status of the shipment, meaning that it has arrived at an intermediate transit warehouse, where the shipment will be grouped with other parcels and sent further to the post office nearest to you

What does Awaiting courier delivery mean?

This status means that the shipment has arrived at the post office that delivers EMS shipments, and is waiting for it to be loaded into the car and the courier will deliver the shipment in your city. The next status will be Handed over to the courier

EMS status Transferred to courier

This status means that the parcel is being delivered by courier and the parcel will soon be delivered to your home/office address

Handed over to the postman

A rather rare status, it means that the letter/parcel/small package is with the postman and he will deliver the item to your mailbox.

Awaiting the addressee at the place of delivery/Arrived at the place of delivery

The shipment has arrived at your nearest post office. Within a few days, postal employees issue a receipt notice and deliver it to the recipient's mailbox. If you see this status, you don’t have to wait for a notification, but come to the post office with the shipment number and passport to receive the parcel.

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.

MMPO or Place of International Postal Exchange

What is MMPO? The abbreviation stands for “place of international postal exchange.” MMPO is the place where the parcel is prepared for shipment from the sender’s country. At MMPO, the parcel goes through export customs. MMPOs pack several parcels as one load, the so-called dispatch, to increase loading efficiency Vehicle(trains, cars and planes).

Russian Post operates 13 customs clearance points for postal items. Until 2013, Moscow MMPO processed up to 80% of all incoming international traffic to Russia, which caused heavy load to Russian Post.

To speed up the delivery time for international parcels, Russian Post has opened two new International Postal Exchange Locations in Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. The latter can handle up to two thousand international EMS shipments daily, with an area of ​​more than 2000 square meters. International postal exchange office "Ekaterinburg Koltsovo" is the first international postal exchange in the Ural region federal district. It can handle up to 20,000 parcels and small packages per day in a 3,700 m facility.

Track

When making purchases in foreign online stores, we are all one way or another faced with the issue of tracking the postal item by which the purchased product is delivered to us.

This article will discuss general issues regarding tracking of international postal items (IPO). Will be considered general principles according to which MPOs are divided into tracked and untracked, the main stages of delivery that items go through. The issue of the structure of international tracking numbers assigned to IGOs ​​is separately considered.

We will also talk about average delivery times and factors that greatly influence these terms. A separate section will provide information on the possibilities of tracking IPOs on the websites of state postal services of the countries of the sender and recipient, as well as the use of universal independent services for tracking.

Another Additional information You can always find information on these issues, as well as on customs clearance of international mail and the work of individual postal services in the wiki section of this site.

Basic principles

Tracked and non-tracked IGOs

IPOs (international postal items) are divided into two main categories:

• Parcels(over 2 kg)
• Small packages(up to 2 kg)

MPOs are also divided into:

• Registered(with tracking capability)
• Unregistered(not trackable)

Parcels, as well as any shipments via EMS, are always a registered shipment, but small packages can be either registered or unregistered.

A registered IPO in the country of departure is assigned a unique 13-digit tracking number, by which you can control the movement of the IPO from sender to recipient, using the tracking services of the national postal operators of these countries or independent tracking services.

The tracking number for registered small packages always starts with a letter R(Registered).

Accordingly, tracking the movement of MPO using tracking services is only possible for EMS shipments, parcels and registered small packages, provided that you know the tracking number.

Examples of tracking numbers:

• CQ123456785US – postal item from the USA (parcel)
• RN123456785US – postal item from the USA (small package)
• EE123456785US – EMS shipment from the USA
• RA123456785CN – postal item from China
• RJ123456785GB – postal item from Great Britain

The last 2 letters in the tracking number indicate the country in which the item is accepted for shipment. You can read more about the structure of the track number in the next section.

When an unregistered MPO arrives in Russia, Russian Post assigns it an internal tracking number of type RA*********RU. This number is internal information of the postal operator and is used for internal accounting of incoming international mail and subsequent settlements with the postal operator of the country of departure.

The recipient can find out this number only upon receipt of the IPO.

Track number structure

According to the rules of the UPU (Universal Postal Union) (standard S10), the IPO track number consists of 9 numbers and 4 letters. Track number structure: XX*********XX, where X are letters and * are numbers.

Example: RA123456785GB

The first two are capitalized letters indicate the type of postal item. Here are the main ones:

• LA-LZ- unregistered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Not tracked.
• RA-RZ- registered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Tracked.
• CA-CZ- registered MPO weighing more than 2 kg (parcel). Tracked.
• EA-EZ- registered IGO, issued as express shipment (EMS). Tracked.

Next, the track number indicates an eight-digit digital unique IPO number. According to UPU rules, it cannot be repeated for at least one year. The last (ninth) digit is a verification code calculated using a certain mathematical function of the item number.

At the end of the track number, two capital Latin letters are also indicated, which abbreviated the country of the sender according to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code standard. For example CN- China, S.G.- Singapore, G.B.- Great Britain, DE- Germany, US- USA, etc.

2. greatly simplifies the procedure for tracking registered mail items using the track number provided by the user and combines tracking systems of postal services from 27 countries around the world. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers, keeps statistics of average delivery times for items from different countries. Allows you to predict the time it takes for a shipment to pass through one or another stage of delivery.

3. - can be installed on both PCs and personal mobile devices. The list of supported services includes more than 250 email services. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers. In addition, it is possible to add user data to the tracking number, which allows you to have accurate information about all the events that occur with a specific order from the moment it is paid for in the store until the moment it is delivered to the recipient.

In addition to the above, there are many other mail tracking services with different capabilities and different composition supported email services, so there is no point in listing them. The only thing that stands out a little apart is that it does a good job of tracking China Post parcels, but has a rather inconvenient interface and does not support many of the recently emerged local Chinese logistics companies.

Why does the average buyer need tracking?

In this final section I would like to say a little not only about technical side the issue to which the article was devoted, but also about the psychological side of the issue of tracking. And also talk about the general purposes of tracking.

It is quite understandable that all buyers want to receive their goods as quickly as possible and secretly hope that the goods sent, say, from China or the USA will reach the recipient in Russia in a week. But, alas, miracles do not happen, and when choosing delivery of goods by the regular state postal service, you need to be mentally prepared for a wait of 3-4 weeks.

During this time, someone will check their track number only a few times to make sure that the shipment is moving, and someone will check their track number several dozen or hundreds of times... Of course, the latter is more typical for newcomers to online shopping and their excitement even somewhere justified. But the truth lies in the fact that no matter how many times we check our track number, the package will not move faster! Therefore, you still shouldn’t be so paranoid about tracking issues.

In essence, tracking is a tool for monitoring the physical movement of a shipment, in principle, a tool for monitoring compliance with delivery deadlines. And the shipment tracking data, for example, will be very useful to you if you decide to make any claims to the postal services regarding the delivery of the item or the speed of delivery.

Therefore, three main tracking purposes can be defined:

• Informational - when the recipient simply tracks the movement process and delivery time of his shipment, receiving information from tracking systems.
• Control - when the recipient, using information from tracking systems, can control the timing of the shipment at certain stages of its processing and delivery in order to correlate these timing with the control delivery dates and receive any compensation from the postal services in case of non-compliance with these deadlines.
• Evidentiary - when information from tracking systems serves as evidence in possible disputes between the sender and recipient, in case of failure to receive the shipment or its loss (alas, this also happens sometimes)

To reduce the time spent on the tracking process itself, it is of course recommended to use independent tracking services that allow you to create lists of tracked track numbers. The track number is added there once and only then you can easily view the tracking results once every 1-2 days. This significantly reduces the time it takes to track all your parcels and saves you stress.

Good luck with your shopping and fast shipping!

To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to home page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track postal item"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the latest status.
6. Forecasted delivery period is displayed in the track code information.

Try it, it's not difficult ;)

If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text “Group by company”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

If there are any difficulties with the statuses on English language, click on the link with the text “Translate into Russian”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

Carefully read the "Track Code Information" block, there you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.

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, different ways, they can wait 1 day for shipment by plane, or maybe 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 it to appear new status, the package 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;)
