Today, many use mail services. To receive or send a letter, a parcel is a procedure that has not lost its relevance over time. A valuable parcel, as well as a registered letter, has certain shipping rules (a list of items that are allowed to be shipped) and acceptable weight limits. You can use the services of the Russian Post on the territory of the Russian Federation.
What is it
The declared value is a guarantee that the sent package will reach the recipient and its contents will be preserved. Most often, those in which expensive equipment is invested are declared valuable parcels - mobile phones, cameras, laptops, tablets. In this case, declaring the value of forwarding is a prerequisite. For valuable parcels and goods, the transport company and the post office are responsible. In addition, letters and parcels are financially protected from damage and loss.
If the delivery time of valuable items is violated or there has been a loss, damage, the sender has the right to demand compensation in the mail. Valuable shipments are sent only from the post office. They must be registered.
The value is assigned by the sender. The amount of mail workers indicate on the envelope, package or packaging, as well as other information. Indicate the cost in figures and words. For sending mail charges a commission, which is four percent of the value. EMS express shipping fees are less than one percent. If a valuable parcel is sent by COD, an inventory is required.
How to send
Post parcel with declared value should be in the post office. Operators accept packages, packages and letters drawn up accordingly. The parcel must correspond to the dimensions, weight, value and not contain items prohibited for shipment. Before sending the parcel, it should be properly packed. Most often, you can purchase packaging (box, packages, envelopes) at the post office. Standard packaging has empty fields where you should enter the recipient's address and other information about the shipment (amount of value and cash on delivery). The data about the sender and receiver are as follows:
- Full Name.
- The name of the street, house or apartment number.
- Locality.
- Area.
- Region (region, territory, republic).
- The country.
- Postcode.
Other information is also indicated if the declared value of the parcel is high. Before sending, the mail worker checks whether the parcel is correctly packed, as well as filling in the fields. If everything is correct, the operator accepts the shipment after the final payment.
Parcel post
What does "declared value" mean? It is imposed on all forwarded items whose value is high. It is determined by the sender. Parcels shipped with declared value are always sent by cash on delivery. The package may contain magazines, books, equipment, items. Allowable weight - ranging from 100 grams to two kilograms. The rules for sending a large package depend on what type of parcel is selected. It should be noted that the cost of sending a parcel is lower than parcels. If the contents of the package weighs more than two kilograms, and its price is above ten thousand, mail employees have the right to refuse to send a parcel.
The sender can use the service of sending a registered parcel. This is a registered parcel that requires confirmation of the signature of the sender and recipient after delivery to the specified address. In order to send a registered parcel, you must fill out a special form at the post office. If you need to send a parcel abroad, the rules for such shipment apply the same as in Russia. The only difference is that you should use a package instead of a box, the weight of the contents can reach two kilograms. Tariffs for transporting parcels abroad are higher.
Letter
The declared value of the letter is a guarantee in case of its loss or damage. As with the parcel, in order to send such a letter, the sender must declare its value. If the envelope is lost, the sender will be partially refunded. The letter must be registered at the post office, and delivery must be tracked using the identifier assigned to it on the Russian Post website.
To send a valuable letter, buy an envelope of the appropriate size (maximum size 229x324 mm, in Russia the content weight should be no more than 100 grams, abroad - up to 2 kilograms). Then give the envelope to the operator in the post office and tell me how much compensation you would like to receive for possible loss.
In addition, the sender can make an inventory of the investment and receive a notification of delivery of the letter. Additional services are also available to the sender: airmail, SMS notification, inventory listing, cash on delivery, notification of receipt by the addressee.
Getting
You can receive a letter with declared value by mail. When it arrives at the appropriate post office of the Russian Post at the indicated address, employees will send a notification to the recipient. The same applies to the parcels. They receive parcels and letters at the post office or the postman delivers them to the door of the apartment. Often, due to the shortage of workers, the recipient has to independently come to the office for a parcel or a letter.
Price
Declared value is a guarantee provided by mail. The parcel fee is charged to the citizen by the postal worker at the post office at the time of admission. The cost is determined taking into account the amount of the parcel and is determined by the established tariffs by mail. The fact of payment is confirmed by check, stamps and stamps. International and domestic shipments have different tariffs.
The shipping cost is affected by the departure address (range), region, weight of the parcel or letter, dimensions. The parcel may have a maximum value ("Russian Post") of 10 thousand rubles. A letter of declared value - 500 thousand, a first-class parcel - 100 thousand rubles. The entire list of services and prices is provided in the post office. For example, if a parcel weighs five hundred grams and is delivered by ground transport, the shipping cost varies from 70 to 100 rubles. It all depends on the distance.
