After sending the parcel, it sometimes seems like an eternity passes before it reaches the addressee. What is it - MMPO? This is one of the many statuses on which a package is on its way. When tracking a package, which, fortunately, is now possible to produce, sometimes incomprehensible statuses will be displayed on different sites and in applications. That's what they mean, and you need to find out.
Email Statuses
When sending a parcel to Russia from abroad or from Russia abroad, it moves to many points. One of the starting points for the movement of a shipped package from Russia is MMPO in Moscow. The movement of the parcel ends upon arrival at the place of delivery and delivery to the addressee. Different statuses have their own decoding, but we will linger on IMGO.
What is IMGO?
This abbreviation stands for "place of international mail exchange." What is it - MMPO? This is the place where the parcel is prepared for shipment from the country from which it is sent. At MMPO, the parcel passes “its” customs. It is at MMPO that the so-called dispatch is created, which will allow the recipient to receive the parcel in his country. A dispatch is a few packages grouped together. It is created for convenience.

What is AOPP?
Having finally figured out the concept of what it is - IMGO, we can proceed to decipher the concept of AOPP. AOPP is found, as has already become clear, only at the airport. So, we can assume, and so it is, that AOPP is the place of international mail exchange of the aviation department of mail transportation. Actually, this is the decoding of the abbreviation.
How to track a parcel in Russia?
It is not difficult to track the parcel throughout Russia. To do this, you need to know the track number of the package. It is issued at the post office. With the track number, you can go online and find sites that are engaged in tracking mail.
Thus, the parcel can be tracked even without registration. Registration provides some advantages. For example, it will be possible to receive SMS notifications or download the program to a smartphone, which allows you not to think about how the package moves and not to watch its route on the Internet every day. For example, after sending a parcel from Moscow to another country, the parcel may end up in Vnukovo. This MMPO has a workshop 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Even to such trifles, you can track the parcel.
We track the parcel in the territory of another country
When the parcel crosses the border of Russia, its location can be tracked using the appropriate programs. These programs work similarly to how mail is tracked in Russia.
For example, if the parcel is sent to Kazakhstan, after crossing the border, you can go to the Kazakh postal website and track it. In the CIS countries, mainly sites have a Russian-language analogue, so there should not be a language problem.
As far as abroad, in this case, smart Russian-speaking programmers have created and launched on the Internet sites with online programs that allow you to track the package in Russian. Finding them is simple - just enter a query in the search bar of a search engine such as Google, Yandex, etc.
Customer reviews of Russian Post
There are legends about the organization Russian Post. Namely, about her negligent attitude to work, eternal delays, damage and even missing parcels and letters. Also, according to users of the Russian Post, it’s hard to find out something intelligible using the help desk phones.
You can also use e-mail for information. But this is also quite problematic. Thus, one cannot expect a clear explanation from the employees of the Russian Post. MMPO in Vnukovo was popularly called the “black hole”, and this, unfortunately, is not an exaggeration. They also complain about the long passage of one point, where the parcel may be delayed for several days.
