Several decades ago, correspondence and, consequently, state mail services were in the esteem of both ordinary citizens and official organizations. Then the standard "paper" epistles began to be actively replaced by electronic or fax machines, but they did not completely disappear.
We know: in order for the message to reach the addressee accurately, you need to send a custom or valuable. You will have to pay a little more expensive, but the chances that your message will be lost somewhere are minimized.
How do I send a registered letter and how does it differ from usual? These questions will be answered by the Post of Russia and Ukrposhta.
What is a registered letter and how do I send it?
If you often have to send packages with important documents or not heavy valuable things, it is better to understand the issue of the most secure and fast correspondence, in order to ensure that you deliver what you need to the addressee.
1) A registered letter is. ..
There are three options for sending letters:
-
Normal.
The most popular and inexpensive way of correspondence.
You can do without mail services at all, if you have a zip envelope and a mark of the appropriate denomination at home.
Write your own and the sender's address, seal the envelope, stick the stamp( you can take the envelope with the stamp already printed), throw it into the mailbox - and that's it, it's done.
But you need to take into account that standard messages are sometimes ruined by postal employees, so if you send something very valuable, it's better to take a closer look at the second and third versions.
-
Custom.
We'll talk more about it later.
-
Valuable.
Its main distinguishing feature is that you, as a sender, can accompany your message with a list of documents that are contained in it. The postal employee will carefully check the list you compiled and stamp each page.
The main drawback of sending a valuable letter is that it is not brought to the specified address, but requires the recipient who receives the delivery notification to personally come to the post office.
The period of storage of a valuable letter at the post office is 30 days, after which it is returned to the sender, so the recipient, if he does not want, can not appear at all.
Most often in Russia and Ukraine, securities are sent either by courier or by registered mail.
This kind of letter can be sent only from the post office.
Both in Ukraine and in Russia you will receive a check with the code on your hands. Thanks to these codes on the official websites of Ukrposhta( http: //ukrposhta.ua/ru/ vidslidkuvati-forma-poshuku) and Russian Post( https: //www.pochta.ru/ tracking), you can track your message and learn its status.
2) Why is it worth sending a registered letter, rather than the usual one?
Sending a message formally via mail is not just a whim. This is a necessity when it comes to the delivery of some important papers, books and other things.
There are 8 reasons for sending a registered letter:
-
Handing the envelope personally into the hands of a postal employee, you receive a check from him, as confirmation that the transaction took place.
Then, when you throw a letter in the mailbox, you have no guarantees that at least someone makes a commitment.
- The personal responsibility of the employee to whom you hand the envelope - he incurs a liability for your correspondence.
- All registered letters are attributed to correspondence documents accompanying, regardless of the route.
- You can send a message not only through the territory of your country, but also abroad.
- Thanks to the code on the check you can follow the path of your envelope.
-
You will definitely know that the addressee received the sent papers, because he confirms receipt by his painting.
In addition, you can always order a notification service.
-
Relative cheapness compared to courier services.
The cost of sending depends on where you send the letter and what its weight.
- In Russia, Ukraine, and in other countries there is a huge number of post offices, so you do not have to search long for where you can send your message.
Many are repelled by the unwillingness to deal with official mail. Like, since the times of the USSR nothing has changed here: the same huge queues, hamovatye staff, mess and red tape.
But just one of these days, one of my friends - the administrator of the beauty salon - sent correspondence to the partners from Ukrposhta. I spent 16 hryvnia and 15 minutes on everything.
The employee was extremely polite, helped write the address and explained how to track the message on their website.
The queue - only 3 people, including a girlfriend. In a day the partners received the parcel.
So, as you can see, today it is quite simple, inexpensive and convenient service.
How to send a registered letter to Russia and Ukraine?
It is quite easy to mail correspondence of this type, and even a child can cope with this task.
If you still doubt whether you can do it quickly or not, I suggest you read the procedure in more detail and find out what other services you can get at the post office.
1. Procedure for sending a registered letter.
First you need to know which letter can be sent as a custom letter. There are certain norms and restrictions on the weight and size of the envelope.
| The size of the envelope( in mm) | The maximum weight of the letter of dispatch in Russia( in g) | The maximum weight of the letter sent in Ukraine and abroad( in kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 110 x 220 | 100 | 2 |
| 114 x 162 | 100 | 2 |
| 114 x 229 | 100 | 2 |
| 162 x 229 | 100 | 2 |
| 229 x 324 | 100 | 2 |
Here's what procedure you need to follow if you want to send some documents by registered mail:
-
Collect all the papers you want to send.
It is advisable to write an accompanying epistol so that the recipient is convinced that everything is in place and nothing is missing at the post office.
-
Put all the documents together with the accompanying epistol into the envelope and seal it.
If you did not have a suitable envelope in your home or office, then you can buy it at the post office, but in this case, all carefully check to see if some document was lost somewhere.
-
Write the address of the recipient and the sender.
By the way, for a small amount a mail employee can do this for you. Remember that in Russia and in Ukraine there are unified rules for filling the envelope:
- Give the sealed envelope with the addresses written on it to the employee of the mail, indicating that you want to send the correspondence of the ordered type.
-
Pay this amount and be sure to take a receipt with the code , by which you can track how your correspondence is sent.
The exact cost of sending you can find out, thanks to online calculators on the official resources of the Russian Post and Ukrposhta: https: //www.pochta.ru/ letters and http: //ukrposhta.ua/ru/ kalkulyator-forma-rozraxunku
You can inform the recipient that you sent what you promised and, depending onfrom the distance between your cities, he must wait for the parcel at such and such a time.
That's all. The procedure is simple and extremely clear.
It's better to go to the post office not at rush hour, for example, at a standard lunch break from 13.00 - 14.00 or after 18.00, when the majority ends on a working day, and choose a different time when there are fewer people on the mail.
So you will avoid large queues, and a mail employee will give you maximum attention and time.
2. You can send a registered letter using these services:
Another argument for sending correspondence in this way is that you get the opportunity to use additional services that are very pleasant and useful.
The one who decided to send a registered letter can choose one( or even several) services from this list:
-
Personal delivery to the addressee.
That is, the recipient will not only find in the mail box a notification that he needs to come to the post office for his correspondence, but receives the message directly from the courier at the address indicated on the envelope.
-
Notification of the sender.
If you are very worried about whether or not a recipient receives correspondence, you can order a service such as a notification, for example, via SMS.
The service is chargeable.
-
Aviation.
Most often, mail is delivered by land transport.
If you want the recipient to receive your message as soon as possible, you can order an air shipment. Naturally, this service will cost a lot.
3. How do I send a registered letter with a notification?
The most common service used by citizens of Ukraine and Russia, if they want to send correspondence of a custom nature - a request for notification of the sender that the correspondence was accurately handed over to the recipient.
And the truth is, why be nervous in vain, constantly pulling the addressee, "Well, what did you get?", "Did you get today?", "And now?" If you can wait patiently until the post office informs you that they have completed their work.
How to make a gift agreement?
You can send a registered letter with the notification:
-
Officially.
You fill out on the mail a special form, where you specify not only the recipient's contacts, but also your own.
This form follows along with the dispatch, and when the correspondence falls into the hands of the recipient, it will return to you as a simple postal item( it will be brought by the postman and thrown into your mailbox).
If you act as an intermediary, then indicate that you need to notify the delivery of you personally, and some other person and give his contact address and phone number.
-
Unofficially.
If you do not need an official confirmation of the delivery, then you can limit your notification by SMS.Paid service offered by the Post of Russia.
One SMS message costs 10 rubles. If you constantly send registered mail, you can sign an official agreement( available only to corporate clients), then the cost of one SMS will be 7 rubles.
The cost of sending a registered letter to Russia will soon rise in price.
After signing the order the shipping price will increase to 41 rubles:
Any adult should know how to send a registered letter to .Believe me, this knowledge will not be superfluous for anyone.
