$C:\Users\Herald of Rivia\Desktop\gallery!d90.jpg$

Modern technologies make it possible to track a wide variety of shipments. It can be:

products:
Appliances;
furniture;
registered letters.

This is not the entire list of parcels that can be tracked. It all depends on what exactly a person wants to send or receive.

However, the tracking feature is not available unless the tracking option has been selected prior to shipping.

What is a track code

When drawing up a protocol for sending a particular parcel, the sender receives a track code. It is an identification number that allows you to track the shipment. At each stage of the parcel's movement, the track code is entered into the database. It is this process that allows the recipient or sender to perform tracking.

A tracking number is provided in the following cases:

registered domestic shipments within the country;
international shipments that are sent to the territory of another country;
international shipments arriving in the country of destination.

Thus, it does not matter where the track code was assigned. In any case, it will allow you to identify the shipment and, as a result, track its movement.

The track code consists of a combination of letters and numbers that have a specific meaning. First of all, this concerns the alphabetic characters responsible for identifying the country of departure.

Track numbers for Russian and international shipments are noticeably different. For example, in Russia the barcode identifier structure of the Interleaved Two of Five format is used. It consists of 14 digits, but at the same time there are 16-digit codes. There are no letters in the track code, unlike international shipments. As a result, the sender or recipient is dealing with a track like 14211716007384.

Please note that track numbers are not unique. According to the rules of postal items, you can reuse a previously used code 12 months after sending.

Where to find the tracking number

The track code is important both for those who send the parcel and for those who plan to receive it. In both cases, it is important to know where to find the ID. If you are the sender, please pay attention to the receipt issued after the shipment has been registered.

If you are the recipient, you must contact the sender to obtain an identification number. But in situations where a package is ordered through an online store website, the track code is indicated in your personal profile. In particular, on AliExpress the tracking number can be found by going to the parcel parameters. It is here in the appropriate column that you can find all the necessary information.

Is it possible to find out what arrived?

How to find out the sender of a notice? This issue is easier to solve today. Each notice is assigned a number that allows you to track the shipment itself. The notice contains only partial information about the parcel:

Type of departure;
Parcel weight;
Sender country.

This information is not always enough to decide whether it is worth picking up the letter or not. Recipients have 2 methods available to them to find out who sent you the letter.

You can contact the post office staff by phone and request information about the sender. However, employees do not always agree to provide such information, citing job descriptions. However, today there is a much more effective way to find out who sent you a registered letter.

Internet access is required to track shipment. You can perform the operation and determine where the shipment is currently located through a variety of services, including the following sites:

These are not all the statuses that can be found when tracking parcels. Much often depends on the postal operator, which provides its own statuses.

Tracking parcels from abroad

Unlike domestic Russian shipments, parcels from abroad receive a 13-digit track code, which consists not only of numbers, but also of letters. For example, CA123456789RU. The first 2 letters identify the country of origin, and the last two letters identify the country of receipt.

$C:\Users\Herald of Rivia\Desktop\How-to-track-a-parcel-on-AliExpress.png$

Tracking of such parcels occurs in the same way as domestic shipments. That is, a person can use any service he likes most, from the Russian Post website to track24.ru. But in the case of parcels from abroad, it is better to use the second resource, since PR does not provide information regarding movements within the sender’s country.

A simple shipment from abroad cannot be tracked in Russia.

Tracking a parcel by recipient's name and address without a track number

The track code is the only identification means for tracking parcels. That is, if the sender did not provide a tracking number, it will be very difficult to track the shipment. At the same time, the situation is not critical.

As a rule, when registering a parcel, the sender indicates his full name, contact number and email address. This means that he can clarify the track number by logging into the personal account of the involved mail service. For example, on the Russian Post website.

The same goes for recipients. The track code is automatically entered into the database if the sender has specified the addressee's details. Thus, you can register on the Russian Post website by indicating the phone number and email address that the sender used. After this, the parcel on its way to the recipient will be automatically added to your personal account.

If you don’t have the Internet at hand, then you can do it in another proven way. In particular, come to the PR department, give your details (full name, phone number, e-mail) and ask the operator to find out about the appearance of new parcels. If a shipment registered to you is in the database, a Russian Post employee will notify you about it. Also here you can rewrite the track code for further tracking.

It often happens that the track code is not immediately assigned after ordering in the online store. Therefore, it is recommended to wait some time (2-3 days) before taking decisive action.

If you can't track your parcel

Quite often, people complain that they cannot receive information regarding their shipments. Because of this, it is impossible to track the parcel and understand exactly when it will arrive at the delivery location. Fortunately, there are several proven ways to solve the problem, which our specialist will tell you about.

Question to the expert

The sender issued an incorrect track number, which is not tracked on the Russian Post website. What to do?

This is a fairly common problem faced by buyers of foreign online stores. You should not immediately draw conclusions regarding the incorrectness of the track. Try to check with the sender what service he used to send the parcel. It is possible that the assigned track code is only for this service.

Why is international shipment not tracked on the PR website?

Parcels sent to Russia from abroad begin to be tracked on the PR website only after arriving in the destination country. Accordingly, until this moment the information is not updated. But you can get all the necessary information regarding international destinations using the track24.ru service.

Why did the track code stop being tracked after crossing the border?

There may be 2 options here. Bad implies the likelihood that the package was lost along the way. But most often, when entering Russia, some international shipments are assigned a new track. As a rule, this happens with small accessories that the postal service combines into one package.

What to do if you still can’t track your parcel?

Call the postal operator's support service, give the track code and ask for information regarding the shipment. You can also visit the postal service office. The parcel may already be waiting for you at the delivery location. And in the case of orders of goods from abroad, do not hesitate to contact the sellers to clarify the situation.

How do I know if the recipient has received my parcel?

Sometimes it doesn’t matter to the sender where exactly the shipment is located. Especially if he is a seller of goods. Another thing is with information regarding whether the address received the parcel or not.

$C:\Users\Herald of Rivia\Desktop\5-24.png$

The easiest way to find out whether a shipment has reached its destination is to use a parcel tracking service and enter the track code. If the person has received the package, you will see the status “Delivered to the addressee”. In addition, when registering postal items, you can activate the SMS notification service. In this case, you will receive a message when the recipient picks up the parcel.

Russian Post: parcel tracking by receipt number

Once you have figured out the required identification code, or, as it is otherwise called, the “track code,” you can learn how to use it correctly. To do this, just go to a special section of the official website of the Russian postal service and enter the required numbers in a special window:

After clicking the “Search” button, the system will provide complete information about the letter, starting from the date it was sent and the post office, ending with the recipient’s data and all the stages that this letter went through. If it has already arrived at the right place, delivery to the addressee will be noted. Obviously, there is nothing complicated in this procedure. Other search services work similarly. Using this service is absolutely free.

Russian Post tries to follow modern trends, and therefore offers services that significantly simplify the process of sending and receiving some parcels.

$C:\Users\Herald of Rivia\Desktop\tsura.jpg$

It's no secret that in 2020, very few people use paper media. Moreover, this applies not only to reading news or books, but also to receipts for payment for services. Therefore, PR has provided an option that allows you to receive registered letters in electronic form and read them on any suitable device.

How to find out the delivery status of a Russian Post parcel?

Remember that it is impossible to track registered letters or parcels by the recipient's last name. However, there is an additional service called Recipient Notification. If you take advantage of this opportunity, the recipient will be able to immediately find out the delivery status of the item.

The rules for using the service are quite simple. The sender sends a parcel or letter. When filling out the form, check the delivery notification box. When the parcel arrives at the regional post office at the addressee's place of residence, the recipient receives a postal notification. The last step is to visit the branch to receive your parcel or registered letter.

To pick up the package, the recipient must confirm his identity. A Russian passport or received delivery notice will do. The department staff will check and transfer the cargo to the recipient. There is also the possibility of receiving the cargo by an authorized person. This option requires a power of attorney.
