The procedure for receiving a parcel from abroad does not differ from a similar departure within the country. However, a parcel from another state may go to the addressee longer due to customs clearance and a longer chain of custody between postal services.
You will need
- - notice of receipt of the parcel;
- - passport;
- - fountain pen.
Instruction manual
1
The reason for the visit to the post office, as in the case of any postal item, except for simple and registered letters without delivery confirmation, which are simply thrown into the mailbox, is a notice that the parcel addressed to you has been delivered to the post office.
Therefore, if you know that a parcel (or other shipment) has been sent to you, carefully check your mailbox. In the event of a delay, ask the sender to inform you of the international postal identifier indicated on his receipt. With it, you can track the fate of the expected departure through the sites of the Russian post office and a similar foreign service.

After receiving the notice, fill in the required fields on its back.
You will need to indicate your surname, name and patronymic, number and series of the passport, name of the issuing authority and date of issue.
If you are registered at the same address where the package arrived, you can leave the field for the registration address blank. In other cases, you have to do it.
You must also indicate the date of receipt of the parcel and put your signature. But it’s better not to rush, but to do it after you receive the package.

With the completed application, go to the post office - to the department whose number is indicated in the notice.
Wait for your turn and show the operator a notice and passport. He will check whether the data in these documents matches, and if the result is positive, he will hand you the package.
If the integrity of the package is not violated and there is no discrepancy in weight (there are cases when during the control weighing the data do not coincide with the accompanying papers), no additional formalities are needed anymore. If something is wrong, the operator will invite the head of the department, in whose presence you can check whether everything is in order.
