Korea Post: Postal tracking
If you placed an order in one of the Korean stores, most likely the track code of your parcel will end with the letters KR. This means that all issues of cargo transportation are taken over by the country's national postal service - Korea Post. The post office processes orders as quickly as possible; usually parcels and packages leave the sending country within 3-4 days.
Korea Post parcels are tracked using special identification numbers that are assigned to each shipment. You can find it on your order page in your personal account in the online store. You can also ask the seller a question. from korea post track the number consists of 13 characters - two letters at the beginning and end of the code and nine numbers in the middle. For any questions, you can contact the support service.

Delivery Features

Usually it does not take much time to transport the goods; the parcel is delivered within 7-20 days from the date of payment for the goods. The cost largely depends on the prices of the local postal service. Buyers should pay attention to the possibility of tracking - very often the parcel remains at the post office for a week before the postman delivers a notice. Also, screenshots with information about the movement of the shipment can serve as evidence if the package is lost in transit and you need to return the money. However, in the case of Korea Post, this happens extremely rarely, the goods arrive on time, safe and sound.
To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.

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, 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 "Calculator" target dates delivery"
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 receiving the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel is "the item pre-advised" / "Received" email notification“does not change for several days, this is normal, you can read more by clicking on the link: .
If the status of the postal item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is a normal phenomenon for international postal 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 1 day for shipment by plane, or maybe a week.
If the parcel has left sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, don’t worry, the package is not a courier who brings the package from one city to your home. In order for it to appear new status, the package must arrive, unload, scan, etc. in the next sorting point or a 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;)
"Fly, pilot, fly, fly high, fly deep,
Fly over the dark water, fly over the other side of the day.
Bring it, pilot, bring it, bring me a letter,
A letter from the holy of holies, a letter through the fire.
Letter from me."Aquarium - Pilot.
Mail has always been a traveler's companion.
Until the road for many turned into waiting for the same giant planes at the same giant airports, mail was not only about letters and parcels.
Roads appeared on postal routes, and mail coaches were the buses and trains of the era. Stagecoaches departed on schedule and arrived, if it happened in Western Europe, also on schedule. To get to another city, you could take a horse and carriage, or you could just buy a ticket.
And of course I can’t ignore such an important part of the country as the post office.
So. This is a story about South Korean Post.
Like much of Korean history, Korean postal history is lost to the ages. Similar to postal or courier service existed throughout the history of Korea, starting from the era when there was no unified state.
The modern history of Korean postal service can be considered to have begun in 1884 thanks to one man named 영식홍 (Yong-Sik Hong). In front of the largest post office in Seoul, the Postal Tower, there is a deserved monument to him, erected on November 18, 2012, as the founder of the Korean post office.
In 1883, Yong-Sik Hong traveled across the United States, studying the experience of the USPS, the government postal service. After returning to Korea, he "passionately convinced" King Gojong of the importance of a modern postal system, leading to the creation of the Korea Postal Bureau in 1884. Yong-Sik Hong was appointed Postmaster General.
“The spirit of his reforms created the foundation of the modern postal system, and his fearless passion for innovation has remained an inspiration for generations,” says the plaque at the monument.
On the minus first floor of the “Postal Tower” there is a postage stamp museum, invisible to most, which is free to visit.
One of the walls of the exhibition is occupied by an archive of stamps, dating back to 1884.
These stamps, as well as the next series issued a year later, were the first and last postage stamps of the Joseon era.
Then there were eight years of the Taehan Korean Empire. Korea was admitted to the Universal Postal Union by 1900, after which a purely Korean postal history failure begins. During the two decades of annexation of Korea, the Japanese government established its own postal system, which at the beginning of the twentieth century replaced the Korean one, so that even stamps were first overprinted by Japanese, and then printed by Japan specifically for Korea.
Korean post returned after 1945, during the US-Soviet government. Moreover, the post office was not divided into South Korean and North Korean; the Soviet part of the country, which became North Korea, was still a completely unified state with South Korea. It all ended, of course, two years later when Korea's post office split, dividing the entire peninsula into two parts.
The war has passed and peace has come. South Korea was accepted back into the world union, North Korea was accepted in 1974, but that's a different story.
As elsewhere, events, stories, and places are imprinted on stamps.
At the end of the twentieth century, the postal service underwent a major reorganization.
우정사업본부 (Ucheonsaopponpu). Korea Post or Korean Post.
The map in the museum shows the entire geography of Korea that was printed on postage stamps. The peninsula was slightly distorted, since the only North Korean stamp on the South Korean stamps was Mount Paektusan.
Stamps from countries around the world with a very small sample.

Russia ended up in a collection of strange stamps with a metalized twenty-kopeck Soviet stamp.
And the pre-revolutionary two-kopeck coin, which “is in circulation on par with a copper coin.”

Interesting museum.
Totally Korean.
Above the museum, in the tower itself, there is a large post office.
Some of the large branches are dedicated to monetary services, and some to postal services. There is always more of the latter.
It is impossible to find anything irrelevant to mail and money, except perhaps a cookie vending machine, in the branches.
Everything related to mail always has a logo - a swallow in the shape of an envelope flying to the left. The Korean postal colors are red and white, with a little orange too.
The official main post office of Seoul and Korea is the branch at Gwanhamyung Square, the city's main square.
New Seoul address signs indicate what kind of organization it is, with an envelope at the post office.
In Korea, a Japanese-style block addressing system was used. Search the desired address was a quest for the postman, and will remain so until January 2014, when the whole country switches to European street addressing.
GS25, the Korean Seven-Eleven, a small supermarket located in the post office, also received the name “postal”.
The post office helped on the very first Korean day when postmen called a taxi to the bus station in Donghae. Post offices scattered throughout all cities and regions are most often small.
There are also post offices within organizations. Gangnam University has its own index and its own department in one of the buildings.
The postal code that a post office has, just like in Russia, is designated by six digits, but is written with a dash, like 111-111.
The main intracity transport of Korea Post is a small van with a side door. The side door is needed to quickly get out letters and parcels.
Minibuses are less common.
Minibuses are more often used by UPS and DHL, the latter are rare, mainly in the area of office skyscrapers.
In addition to vans and minibuses, light shipments fly around cities on red and white scooters.
Of all the scooter riders we meet, postmen are the only drivers who more or less follow traffic rules.
At the very end of the road, letters fall into mailboxes, parcels remain near the door, no one even thinks of stealing the box. International and valuable shipments are delivered directly to your hand against signature in the electronic terminal.
If the postman did not meet at home the person to whom the shipment was due, then a note will be left on the door indicating the time when the postman arrived and when he will come for the second (or third) time, with telephone number the post office processing the item, with the category of the item, the country where it is from and the name of the person to whom the item is addressed. A parcel from Taiwan or China will arrive by regular mail in a week, a parcel from the Dealextreme warehouse in two weeks.
For a letter or postcard to begin its journey, it must be dropped into a large, red mailbox.
There are not as many of them as, for example, in Canada; the number of boxes can be compared with that in Germany.
The standard model installed in Seoul has two slots, for shipments within the district, and for shipments anywhere, 타지역우핀 (Tachiyogupin)
The first is always on the left, the last is always on the right.

Some boxes are numbered, some are not. This one has a piece of paper carefully stuck at the top mentioning that tariffs have recently increased.
The mailbox on the main street in Yongning's Gugal-dong has been halved. The same thing has been done everywhere where domestic departures are not very popular.
On the main street of the Itaewon district, Itaewon-ro, there is a reverse, larger version. Itaewon is an international area, so there should be a high flow of departures from here.
Mailboxes do not differ by city. The boxes in Busan are strange, however, due to the lack of additional information about the time of collection of letters.
Also, once I came across an analogue of a wall box popular in Russia. This was found in Sokcho, a port city in northeastern South Korea. Of all the types of boxes, this is the smallest.
In Korea, as throughout the world, sending postcards and letters is not a very popular activity, but finding good cards and envelopes is not difficult.
Especially envelopes, since in Korea it is still popular to give personal cards and money hidden in an envelope.
Postcards are most often sold in sets.
The themes of the sets vary widely, and often depend on the location.
Life of traditional Korea.
Korean painting.
National details.
Modern Seoul.
Half postcard, half envelope.
I went to a random branch in Gangnam Courtyards to buy postage stamps.
It turned out to be one of the real exams on knowledge of the Korean language. Fortunately, postmen, couriers, and branch operators are always polite, and they don’t look down on senders and recipients, even if they know Korean very poorly.
There are standard brands that are not impressive in design, but there are also pleasant ones.
Standard South Korean postal stamps exist in a very wide range of denominations.
270 won is the most popular, like the ruble for Russian mail.
The Korea Post website promises the cost of sending postal cards at 270 won (8 rubles 10 kopecks) domestically and 280 won (8 rubles 40 kopecks) worldwide where surface mail is available. For comparison, Russian Post charges 10 rubles for domestic and 21.40 for international post cards.
"Mosygypa, Rosia." Writing the name of the country and city in the local language has become a personal tradition. And it is always dubbed in English, French or German, which official languages international postal service, and when sent to Russia or Russian-speaking countries, it is also written in Russian.
Korea Post is a government department, so the cost of all shipments, except very high-speed ones, is very low. But at the last moment I decided to go to another post office to check the correctness of the cost estimate.
This is already a large department, there is an electronic queue.
Which took less than two minutes.
Sending still requires an additional 120 won per card.
This also makes the card aviation. 400 won. 12 rubles.
You can buy a box to send the parcel. Along with it they will give you polyethylene with pimples. If you say that something is fragile, there will be more bumps.
Scotch tape, scissors, glue, all this is free and not screwed anywhere.
In the corner of the post office, two mailboxes are built into the table.
International shipments, 국제우편 (Gugcheupyeong) have been replenished with postcards to several countries.
Less than a month later, the first card ended its journey in Vancouver. While this text was being written, another one was found in mailbox in Moscow.

The Korea Post official website has everything necessary information. Available types shipments, as well as possible restrictions on the shipment of goods also depend on the recipient’s country.
What are the Korea Post tracking numbers?
Korea Post always assigns a tracking number to EMS shipments and packages. Small packages may be unregistered and may not be tracked.

- RT123456785KR – small package from South Korea;
- CA123456785KR – parcel from South Korea;
- EE123456785KR – express shipment from South Korea.
In the structure of the track number, in accordance with international format UPU letters and numbers have a semantic meaning:
- The first letter R/C/E indicates the type of shipment. A Korea Post track number starting with the letter R (Registered) is assigned to registered small packages;
- 123456785 – this digital series ensures the uniqueness of the number;
- KR – indicates the country of the postal service.
