To send a parcel, you need to visit the post office and perform a number of simple formalities. Prerequisites for the successful completion of this process are also knowledge of where and to whom the parcel should be delivered, and a small amount of money to pay for the services of the post office. You can use the service for sending parcels at any post office where it is convenient.
You will need
- - packaging for the parcel (it is easiest to get in the post office);
- - an item that is planned for shipment in this way;
- - address of the recipient;
- - money to pay for mail services.
Instruction manual
1
Specify the address of the recipient of the parcel. It is best if you will also know its zip code. The parcel will be accepted without it, but the presence of an index will simplify the automatic processing of your shipment and, accordingly, will expedite its delivery. Better not rely on memory, but write down all the data in a notebook, electronic notebook, mobile phone, on a separate sheet of paper or other media.
2
Prepare the contents of the parcel. It is allowed to send books, newspapers, magazines or other printed materials, manuscripts, photographs in this way by postal rules. The value of printed matter should not exceed 10 thousand rubles. The maximum allowable weight of the parcel is from 100 g to 2 kg.

In order for the parcel to be sent at the post office, it must be packed. You can solve this issue on your own. But the easiest way is to purchase special packaging directly at the post office: a box for the size of the contents of the parcel or a large envelope. If you prefer to pack the parcel yourself, keep in mind that the postal rules allow the minimum size of items of this type to be 105x148 mm, and the maximum should not exceed 60 cm in total. Separate requirements apply to items rolled up: each measurement must be at least 10 cm, and the sum of the length and double roll size is 17 mm. Upper limits: one measurement is not more than 90 cm, the total sum of length and double thickness is 1.04 m.
4
Indicate the address of the recipient and your address on the parcel. Yours will be required if for some reason the addressee cannot receive the shipment and it will have to be returned back. If you do not use the standard postal packaging (envelope or box), write the recipient's address in the lower right corner, the reverse in the upper left. The recipient index is in the lower left corner. Indicate the indices, addressee and your own, also in the fields reserved for the corresponding addresses.

When everything is ready, contact the employee of the post office, inform about the desire to send a parcel, pay for the service and receive a receipt. The postal identifier indicated on it will allow you to track the fate of your parcel through the official website of the Russian Post.
