A separate branch of Russian Post specializes in providing services according to the EMS system. Express Mail Service was created within the framework of the international postal union in 1986. This union united 191 countries of the world. Between them, thanks to the EMS service, prompt delivery of postal items has been established. Today Russian Post is a full member of this community and offers its customers fast delivery of any postal items to countries that support this agreement. It is also possible to quickly deliver correspondence from these countries to almost any locality in Russia. The structure of this division, operating as part of Russian Post, includes 26 special branches located in the largest cities. In addition, about 9 thousand regular post offices accept correspondence intended to be sent within the EMS system. The EMS service has more than 2 thousand employees in its ranks.

How does EMS work?

The main operating principle of the structure is to deliver mail according to the “door to door” scheme. The correspondence prepared for dispatch is picked up by the courier, then the parcel is delivered to the destination, and delivered by the courier to the final addressee. This allows you to create the most comfortable conditions for clients.

Basic operations carried out by EMS express mail

Express delivery business correspondence and cargo throughout the participating countries.
Postal insurance.
Customs clearance of incoming as well as outgoing international mail, if provided by law.
Express delivery of correspondence by cash on delivery, as well as with declared value.

Any correspondence submitted in the form of business papers or commercial products. In the latter case, there are restrictions according to which the weight of the parcel sent in an international direction should not exceed 30 kilograms, for all domestic directions this value should not be more than 31.5 kilograms.

Friends, I just read this on eDost

Russian Post is regular mail, represented in almost any locality Russia.
EMS is a courier delivery service created on the basis of Russian Post.

Thousands of parcels pass through Post and EMS every day. And, in general, most parcels are delivered normally and eventually find their recipients, but if you are going to send a parcel using these services, it is recommended to take into account some of the features of their work.

Delivery terms

Delivery time can vary from several days to several MONTHS (no matter what the carriers state). There are no specific patterns in delivery times (with the exception of temporary seasonal influxes). Therefore, there are often cases when, for example, two parcels were sent simultaneously from one city to the same address: one arrived in 10 days, and the second in 2 MONTHS.

There are a lot of reasons why delivery is delayed: from the most serious (for example, checking the cargo at customs), to simple and banal (for example, they forgot to include it in the shipment or it was lost in a warehouse).

In most cases, nothing can be done about this, all that remains is to wait for the parcel to arrive.
BUT in some situations, your increased attention can speed up receipt (or even ensure the very fact of delivery)!

The parcel is NOT tracked or tracked, but its status does not change for a long time!

1. There are types of shipments (usually the cheapest) for which, in principle, a tracking service is not provided. Accordingly, it is impossible to find out the current delivery status of such a parcel! All that remains is to wait for it to arrive at its destination.

Note:
a) Parcels that are NOT tracked are usually also assigned numbers, but from these numbers you can only find out that the parcel was received at the post office on such and such a date.
b) All EMS shipments must be tracked (the numbers of such parcels begin with the letter "E").

2. Data in the tracking system is updated with a DELAY (from several hours to several days). Therefore, there are often cases when a parcel begins to be tracked only a couple of days after sending. Or, for example, there are cases when the parcel has been delivered a long time ago, but according to its status it is still listed as delivered.

Note: If you sent a parcel on Friday, then with a high degree of probability, it will remain in the office until Monday, and only then will it be transferred for shipment (accordingly, there will be no records for this parcel in the system until Monday).

3. When sent from abroad, some parcels begin to be tracked only after arriving in Russia. Accordingly, until this moment, there will be no data about this parcel on the post office website!
To track such parcels, you can use the website of the foreign carrier (who actually sent them). You can also track it here.

4. If the parcel has already departed for Russia (as there is a corresponding entry on the sender’s website), this does NOT mean that it will be registered in Russia on the same (or the next) day. The registration process can take from several days to several weeks (and sometimes months).

Until the parcel is registered in Russia, there will be no new entries in the tracking system! Filing a wanted list for such a parcel is practically useless, since on the sender’s side there is evidence that the parcel has already been sent to Russia (i.e. they have fulfilled their obligations), but on our part they will say that the parcel is not registered in Russia, which means she's not here and there's nothing they can do.

5. It happens that tracking is temporarily impossible due to failures or technical work on the delivery service server. For example, on a mail site, when trying to track, a message may appear: ERROR Cannot get a connection, pool error Timeout waiting for idle object.

Usually, the server’s functionality is quickly restored, after which everything is monitored normally (except for weekends and holidays, when repairs can take several days).

Delivery by regular mail

1. Letters are usually dropped into the recipient's mailbox.

2. Parcels are delivered to the place of delivery - this is the post office corresponding to the postcode in the recipient's address. After this, the recipient is given a notice in the mailbox, according to which they must independently come to the post office with a passport and receive their parcel.
It happens that such a notice is either forgotten to be sent, or it is lost from your mailbox. In principle, it does not matter what caused the notification to not be delivered, the main thing is that the parcel may already arrive at your post office, and you will not know about it. If the package takes a long time to arrive, it is recommended to go to the post office and check if there is anything in your name.

Note:
a) The parcel must be received by the person in whose name it arrived (a passport serves as an identification document).
b) If the parcel is sent to a private person, it is highly not recommended to indicate your work address as the delivery address (otherwise you may be required to provide a power of attorney from the company and other documents confirming your authority). And most importantly, parcels for legal entities. persons are subject to mandatory customs clearance, therefore, it will be problematic for a private person to receive such a parcel.

Delivery of EMS parcels by courier

1. Couriers are NOT required to call before delivery!

2. Parcels are delivered to the specified address and handed to ANYONE who will be there!
They can, for example, give it to the security guard at the entrance, and no one will inform you about it.

3. Delivery is carried out within a day. If you are informed that the parcel is being delivered, then you must wait ALL day for the courier. Sometimes the courier may not have time to reach the recipient, so delivery will be postponed to the next day. Postponement of delivery time is usually NOT INFORMED!

4. If there was an unsuccessful delivery attempt (for example, the recipient was not at home), the next day (or later), the courier will deliver the parcel again. After the second or third unsuccessful delivery attempt, the parcel remains in the office, waiting for the recipient to pick it up. It is usually NOT reported that the parcel is in the office!

It is also necessary to remember that an unscrupulous courier may not even try to deliver the parcel to you, and then in the office say that you were not at home!

In such cases, it is recommended to constantly monitor the condition of your parcel. And if the status “unsuccessful delivery attempt (for technical reasons, temporary absence of the addressee)” or similar records appears, call the office and find out the fate of your parcel.

5. Sometimes you can wait WEEKS for the courier to arrive! In such cases, it is easier and faster to pick up your parcel yourself at the EMS office. To do this, you need to warn the office staff so that they do not give the parcel to the courier for delivery.

You can find out the phone number of your local branch in the EMS call center: 8-800-200-50-55

ATTENTION!!! The parcel can be returned back to the sender!
1. If the parcel lies at its destination for more than two weeks, and no one picks it up, then it may be automatically SENT BACK!
2. If the mailing label (on which the recipient's details are indicated) is lost, the parcel is sent back.
After sending, in most cases, nothing can be done; all that remains is to wait until the sender receives the parcel back and resends it (and quite possibly for an additional fee).

The parcel was lost

1. If the package takes a very long time to be delivered, it is not at all necessary that it was lost, stolen or delivered to someone else. In most cases, such parcels still find their recipient. It happens after half a year - a year.

2. If the parcel is significantly delayed, the sender has the right to submit a written request for search. You can submit an application in the same place where the parcel was sent - for this you need a check receipt, which was issued upon dispatch, and a passport. It happens that such statements help, and the package is found and delivered faster.

If the sender is in Russia, then everything is simple, but if it was sent from abroad, then the foreigner must apply for the search at his post office. The recipient can also submit an application, but to do this, the sender must send him a check, receipt or any other document issued by the post office upon sending. The main problem in such cases is that senders often do not keep such documents or they simply do not want to deal with such statements.

Complaints, claims, refunds, etc.

In case of delays, loss of parcels and other violations of delivery rules, you can file a complaint. In some cases, such complaints help.

Among other things, EMS and mail have delivery deadlines, according to which the package must be delivered to the recipient no later than a certain date. And in case of delay they must pay compensation.

When filing a complaint or claim, it is worth remembering:
1. The delivery service is responsible only for the amount you paid for delivery. If you paid 1000 rubles for delivery, then no matter how much the delivery time was exceeded (or the package was lost), they will be able to pay you NO MORE than this amount.
2. To claim compensation for the delay, you must first receive the parcel.
3. Applications can take months to be processed. And there is no guarantee that on the first application a decision will be made in your favor.
4. Documents from the sender may be required.
5. Sometimes it is difficult to prove that there was a delay in delivery (due to the peculiarities of parcel registration).
