Americans who decide to send a letter or parcel may not go to the post office, but having purchased envelopes, stamps and parcel packaging in advance, pack everything at home and put it in their own mailbox, while raising the "flag". If it is raised, this is a signal for a passing postman that he needs not to put the correspondence, but to pick it up.

To track your package, you need to follow a few simple steps.
1. Go to home page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track the postal item"
3. Click on the "Track package" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the last status.
6. Estimated delivery period, displayed in the track code information.
Try it, it's not hard ;)
If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text "Group by companies", which is located under the tracking statuses.
If there are any difficulties with the statuses on English language, click on the link with the text "Translate to Russian", which is located under the tracking statuses.
Carefully read the "Track code information" block, where you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.
If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame, with the heading "Pay Attention!", Carefully read everything that is written in it.
In these information blocks, you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.
If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case tracking parcels becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived at Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.
To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery deadlines calculator"
If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, and the parcel travels for more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and therefore they are misleading.
If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the package is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the package, and the status of the package "the item pre-advised" / "Email notification received" does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by clicking on the link:.
If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail.
If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new package takes more than a month, this is normal, because. parcels go by different routes, different ways, can wait for sending by plane 1 day, or maybe a week.
If the package is out of sorting center, there are no customs, an intermediate point and new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries a parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, be scanned, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.
If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Acceptance / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see the transcript of the main statuses of international mail:
If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.
If, based on the above, you did not understand anything, read this instruction again, and again, until complete enlightenment;)
