    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 MMPO, where logistics service employees develop optimal route delivery to the point of issue.

    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.

    Sorting

    Russian Post provides its customers not only with services for sending and receiving postal items, but also makes it possible to control the entire process of sending registered letters or with a declared value. Let's take a closer look at how to use the “Post tracking” service.

    Issuing a registered letter at the post office involves assigning it a unique postal identifier, which is indicated on the check. Forwarding a shipment within Russia has an identifier in the form of 14 digits, international shipments have 4 Latin letters and 9 digits. To find out what stage your registered letter is currently at, follow the link to the Russian Post service page. In the empty “Mail ID” field, enter a fourteen-digit number. Don't forget to enter the code confirming that you are not a robot. And click the “Find” button.


    After transferring the registered letter to the postal employee, the data is filled in and the item is assigned the status “Reception” indicating the date and time. If the letter is sent to other countries, then it undergoes customs clearance. This is evidenced by the status “Arrival at the place of international postal exchange”.


    Operation “Export” indicates the successful receipt by the carrier of the postal item. The transition to imports may take quite a long time for a long time and depends on the transport companies providing transportation. The “Import” status indicates that the letter has arrived in the destination country.


    Next, the letter must pass customs control. If there are no problems with the postal item, it receives the statuses “Customs clearance completed” and “Left MMPO”. Otherwise – “Detained by Customs”.


    Then comes the sorting process, where letters are distributed according to routes. Well, the final status is “Arrived at the place of delivery”, after which the addressee receives notification of the arrival of the registered letter.


    If the postal item cannot be tracked or, in your opinion, it does not arrive for too long due to loss, you should contact the post office and write a statement. Please note that the application forms for searching for international and domestic shipments are different. The application is accepted if there is a payment receipt with a postal ID number.
