• Mail to subscribe to newspapers. Subscribe online

    1. First, decide for yourself what publication you would like to receive. Find out his subscription index. This five-digit number is very easy to find out on the Internet, press catalogs in post offices or on the official page of the publication itself. For example, for the newspaper “World of News” there is an individual index 31913. However, you need to take into account that this index will differ in the catalogs “Russian Post” and “Russian Press”. The index for a preferential subscription may also vary significantly. Write this number down on a piece of paper or remember it.

    2. Then we proceed to subscribe. You can also apply for it online without leaving your home. To do this, go to one of the catalog sites (pressa-rf.ru; gazety.ru; delpress.ru). On the website, select the number of months of subscription in the catalog and tick the desired period. Typically, websites provide brief information on each publication. Also, each newspaper has its own subscription period. For example, a sports newsletter may have a subscription period of six months, and a health newspaper may have a subscription period of a year. This should also be taken into account when subscribing. You can pay for your subscription electronically, using Webmoney or YandexMoney. Payment, by the way, is also accepted from Visa and MasterCard plastic cards.

    3. You can subscribe to some regional publications at the editorial office. To do this, fill out a form and pay on the spot. Just like in the good old days, you can come to any post office and fill out a subscription form and pay with the postal operator.

    4. It is better to subscribe in advance, and not a few days before the actual release of the press. If you want to subscribe for six months in the last days of December or June, then be prepared that you will receive your favorite publication, newspaper or magazine only in February or August. Therefore, come at least a month in advance. By the way, in November, as a rule, promotions are held with discounts for each new subscriber, guaranteeing a reduction in the cost of subscription to the publication by up to 20%.

    5. You can subscribe at any post office in our country, regardless of what region you are in and what address you want to receive mail at. However, do not forget that the address must be actual, regardless of your registration. Very often, many of us mistakenly indicate those addresses where we do not live, but are only registered. If you want to give a subscription to another person, simply indicate his full name and exact address on the form. That's it! Get ready to receive mail directly to your home!

    You can subscribe to your favorite newspapers and magazines without leaving your home. It is enough to use a special service that Russian Post offers to subscribers. Users will be able to independently subscribe to their favorite newspapers and order them for family and friends in any region of the country. Moreover, it will even be possible to pay for it via the Internet - using a bank card, literally “in one click”. AiF.ru found out what the advantage of an Internet subscription is and how everyone can take advantage of it.

    24 hour service

    An online subscription will essentially be no different from a standard one. You also need to select your favorite publication and the period in which the user wants to receive periodicals. The main convenience of the new method is that you don’t have to go anywhere and adjust to the opening hours of your post office: you just need to go online. Today the service is already starting its work in beta mode.

    “The purpose of beta testing is to test the service in real operation and identify those points that, from the consumer’s point of view, should be adjusted so that this service is as convenient and in demand as possible. Subsequently, the service will develop - it will include electronic publications, a subscription option for legal entities and much more,” explained Rodion Shishkov, Deputy General Director of Russian Post for the development of public services and new products.

    Subscribing online is not that difficult. Just go to the website podpiska.pochta.ru. If a person has already been registered previously on the main portal of Russian Post, he will only need to enter his name and password. If he did not register, he will have to fill out the fields of a short questionnaire. It’s easy to select the newspapers and magazines you need - they are all located in a special online catalogue. Finding them on the Internet does not take much time, because... All of them, as a rule, are structured either alphabetically or by topic. In the catalog you can find all the information you need - a brief description, cover type, prices and current discounts.

    Maximum comfort

    In addition to saving time, an online subscription has another advantage - it saves all the discounts and special offers that the client may have. The only exceptions are those shares where it is required to present documents to accrue benefits. To take advantage of your benefits, simply select a magazine or newspaper, subscription period, preferred delivery method and recipient's name. Payment for the order is made from a bank card without any commission.

    “If a client has a question at one stage or another, they can ask our specialists by email. At the beta testing stage of the service, we will not only provide customer support, but also take into account user recommendations for improving the service itself,” notes Rodion Shishkov.

    “An online subscription allows you not only to arrange the service quickly and with maximum comfort, but also to give a New Year’s gift in the form of your favorite media to your family, friends, or provide charitable assistance to those who need it. We hope that our service will be in demand by the population, and together we will support our printed publications,” she emphasized Deputy General Director for Postal Business of Russian Post Inessa Galaktionova.

    Agency for publishers

    In April 2015, Russian Post opened its own subscription agency and began entering into direct contracts with various publishing houses. All publishers have created personal accounts on a special portal, where all the necessary information about the progress of the entire subscription campaign is collected. And this list of available publishers is constantly expanding.

    Due to the emergence of such an agency, publishers can now cooperate directly with Russian Post in the distribution of subscription printed publications. In addition, they are also provided with all the necessary tools for audience analysis. At the same time, publishers retain the opportunity to work with other subscription agencies, and subscribers can determine what is more profitable for them.

    Among the advantages of the Russian Post's own subscription agency are the transfer of most contractual work to an online format, automatic calculation of tariffs, prompt work with requests and quick receipt of analytical information.

    Russian Post is a large federal postal operator, which is included in the list of strategic enterprises of the Russian Federation. It includes 42 thousand branches across the country and unites one of the largest workforces - about 350,000 postal workers. The volume of correspondence delivered annually is about 2.5 billion letters and bills and 140 million parcels, EMS items, post-trade organizations and international small packages. Russian Post serves about 20 million subscribers in Russia, to whom 1 billion copies of printed publications are delivered per year. The annual volume of transactions that go through Russian Post is 3.5 trillion rubles (pensions, payments, transfers). The organization's net profit in 2014 amounted to 1.2 billion rubles, which is more than half the figure for 2013.

    If you like any magazine or newspaper, you can subscribe to it for 6 months or a year, and besides, thanks to this service, you do not have to worry about the latest issue, since it will be delivered to your home.

    Subscription via mail

    The easiest way to subscribe to a magazine or newspaper, which is also the most popular, is to contact your nearest post office for this purpose. There you should find the periodicals you need in the catalogs, fill out a subscription receipt and pay the operator in cash for it. However, please note that in this case you pay not only for the publication, but also for it to be delivered to your home. Therefore, before you subscribe to Russian Post, you should compare prices at the kiosk and see how profitable this service will be for you.

    Online subscription

    Often, you can subscribe to your favorite newspaper or magazine via the Internet, on their official websites. In this case, all the necessary information, such as the subscription period, the subscriber's address, is entered into a certain form. In order to pay for the service, you must have a bank card, but some publications also accept money from electronic payment systems. It is also quite possible to use alternatives in the form of a bank transfer, or payment through terminals.

    Also, thanks to the Internet, you can avoid standing in lines at the post office, but go to the official website of Russian Post www.russianpost.ru and click on the banner that refers to an online subscription, or go directly to the website www.pressa-rf.ru or www.vipishi.ru. After registration, you must provide your details. Then you should select the magazine or newspaper you are interested in from the catalog, add it to your cart and pay for the subscription in any way convenient for you.

    Other ways to subscribe

    If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of the Internet, then before you subscribe by mail, you should study the periodical; in most of them, the reader is asked to cut out a receipt from it, where all the necessary details are written, and take it to the bank. The reader is only required to first indicate the period for which the subscription will be carried out and his address. After which the paid receipt must be brought to the editorial office, if possible, or sent by mail. You can also make payment directly to the editorial office, which will significantly save time. Well, now you know how to subscribe and you can enjoy your favorite magazine on time.
