In these information blocks, you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.

If in the "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at 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. Nothing, and nowhere. No way at all \u003d)

If the seller promised that the package will arrive in two weeks, and the package 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 parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims to have sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel "the item pre-advised" / "Received email notification" does not change for several days, this is normal, you can read more by clicking on the link:.

If the status of a postal item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international postal items.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and a new package has been traveling for more than a month, this is normal, because parcels go by different routes, in different ways, they can wait for sending by plane for 1 day, or maybe a week.

If the parcel left sorting center, customs, intermediate point and new statuses are not present within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, 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 decoding of the main statuses of international mail:

If, 5 days before the end of the protection period, the parcel is not delivered to your post office, you have the right to open a dispute.

If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read this instruction again, and again, until you are completely enlightened;)

USPS Review - United States Post

General information about United States Postal Service

It is possible to speak about the historical development of the USPS since 1639, but the post office was founded only in 1775. USPS operates throughout the United States. The large volume of work and area allows to recruit at least 500 thousand people. This gives the right to consider the US mail one of the largest organizations in the world! The shipment can be delivered to 190 countries, which, like the US Post, are part of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). Headquartered in Washington State.

For US citizens living in the country, mail delivers all types of correspondence and documents, including: utility and other bills, statements and notices, documents and cards from banks, documents and rights related to the addressee's personal car. According to statistics, over 500 million letters and parcels are delivered throughout the country every day. USPS employees delivering letters and parcels are equipped with specially equipped transport: a car, a mail truck. The largest car fleet in the world belongs to the US Post.

Organization of USPS work

The USPS control process is done from the top. The President of the United States elects nine people, the United States Senate confirms their candidacy. These nine are organized by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service. The council is to appoint two more people: the postmaster general and his deputy. The postmaster general plays the role general director... His responsibilities include day-to-day monitoring of the US Post. Role executive director performed by the deputy postmaster. Both officials also serve on the Board of Governors of the US Postal Service. The Council monitors the mail, establishes the order of procedures, tariffs for services and rules for the organization. Commercial shipping services such as FedEx and UPS (FedEx Corporation and United Parcel Service) are highly competitive with the United States Post. This stimulates the organization to continuous development and improvement. US Post monitors technology developments and installs state-of-the-art equipment in branches. In addition, USPS will improve the quality and speed of delivery. A huge advantage of USPS is the availability of several types of delivery. Each mail client will find the best option for himself, because the US Post has developed tariff plans based on delivery speed, weight and size restrictions, so all types of mail have their own cost. IGOs to Ukraine and Russia are no different. The official website has a calculator that allows the sender to calculate how much internal delivery will cost different types shipments and IGOs. Today, US Post allows you to register shipments in two ways: physically at the post office or remotely via the Internet. If the shipment is registered at the department, then the received track code is immediately available for tracking. If registration and payment took place remotely, then the received track code will be tracked after the physical delivery of the item to the post office.

USPS shipping

All existing types of shipments within and outside the country have their own tariff plans. Domestic delivery works in as soon as possible... It makes sense to use it in the case of purchases in online stores that do not ship orders outside the United States. Then it is convenient for the buyer to use the services of intermediaries or forwarding companies. According to the UPU, shipments are divided into:

Internal

International - shipped to other GSP countries

Unregistered - no track codes. IGOs receive an internal track code and can be tracked throughout the United States

Registered - track code is issued. Within the United States, the track code is 20 characters long. Outside the country - 13 characters

There are four types of domestic shipments: Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, Parcel Post, First-Class Mail. They all differ from one another on one point. It can be weight or size, insurance availability, delivery speed.

US Post IGO

If you decide to use the services of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to send international mail, you are probably wondering how long it takes uSPS shipping. Delivery terms will depend on the shipping method you choose and some other factors.

The United States Postal Service offers several delivery methods international mail (IGO), allowing you to choose the most suitable one in terms of conditions and prices. All these delivery methods differ in the declared delivery times *:

First-Class Mail International(international first class mail) - delivery time depends on the country of destination, the delivery time is not specified on the USPS website, but it usually ranges from 20 to 40 days;
Priority Mail International (priority international mail) - from 6 to 10 working days;
Priority Mail Express International (international priority express mail) - 3 to 5 business days.

* information provided by the official USPS website and is current as of May 2014

However, all these dates are indicative, in practice, USPS delivery takes longer... In order to imagine the real delivery time, add to the indicated somewhere 10-20 days. This difference in timing is due primarily to the fact that the US Postal Service delivers mail not directly to the destination, but to the border with the country of destination. Why it happens?

USPS is a state postal service, exactly the same as "Russian Post", "Ukrposhta", "Belpochta", "Kazpost" and others. It is a member of the Universal Postal Union and has the right to deliver IGOs \u200b\u200bto all countries that are also members union. In this case, delivery to the border of the country of destination is carried out by the USPS, and after the passage of the MPO customs control for the delivery of the shipment to the addressee, the state postal service of the country of destination is taken. Usually the algorithm for the delivery of IGOs \u200b\u200bfrom the USA is as follows:

The package is accepted from the customer at the USPS office.
After sorting, the package is sent to one of the USPS logistics centers in the United States.
The package leaves the United States in one of the USPS leased aircraft.
The parcel arrives for processing and sorting at one of the logistics transit points. These points are not directly related to the national postal services, they only cooperate with them on a commercial basis.
The parcel arrives in the country of destination and falls under the responsibility of its national postal service.
The package is delivered to the recipient's region.

Thus, the delivery time of IGOs \u200b\u200bdepends not only on the speed of the US Postal Service, but also on the speed of the postal service of the country in which the addressee of the shipment lives, as well as on the speed of transit points. Therefore, in reality delivery times usually exceed those indicated on the USPS websiteas the US Postal Service is not responsible for the operation of other postal services.

Also delivery time may increase during periods of heavy mail load... Usually it is pre-holiday time in December - the season for sending out Christmas gifts. By the way, this applies not only to USPS, but also: the volume of shipments in the pre-Christmas time increases so much that even express delivery services such as FedEx and UPS may not be able to deliver parcels on time.

In order not to worry about USPS delivery times, you can use tracking service (package tracking) which is available for most shipping methods. Each IGO shipped by USPS is provided with a label () with a unique shipment number.

By entering this number in a special form on the USPS website, you can check the status of the parcel... When the IGO is located in the territory of the country of destination, you can use the website of the corresponding state postal service for tracking: all dispatch numbers have a single international format, so there should be no problems with tracking.

The USPS label can be obtained from the post office when the parcel is sent, or can be generated online using postage Maker service... Our system not only allows you to generate USPS labels, but also provides a parcel tracking service: you can get all the information about the passage of a USPS shipment directly on our website, instead of switching between the sites of the USPS and the state postal service of your country.

Summary of the material:

If you have chosen one of the many products that are offered on eBaysellers from the United States, then in the list of options, all or at least one option will be represented by the type of delivery provided by USPS.

Delivery from the USA, USPS - tracking and calculating the cost of shipments

I want to note right away that delivery from the USA, including when using USPS is not the cheapest way to deliver goods from different countries of the auction participants eBay... But on the other hand, it is worth paying extra for such a quality of work, especially since buying high-quality goods from the USA, you get a comprehensive quality services delivery of your items.

On the site USPS, there are many different ways delivery from the USA, they differ in overall dimensions, regions of residence of the addressees, cost and timing. To many basic " tariff plans"Delivery can be purchased" additional options ".

It is very easy to get confused among the various delivery methods, especially for a beginner. What is it worth First class ("First class"), a resident of Russia, heard about Russian Post First Class, will be misled about the speed of this type of departure. In the USA, unlike Russia, First Class - the most affordable, but longer international delivery method. Among buyers of goods on eBay the most popular are various options, the so-called priority mail PriorityMail® ... Although if you need to send a small and low-value product, then First Class is the best fit.

To most European countries USPS offers the same types of international delivery, so this article will be useful for residents of almost all CIS and Baltic countries.

If necessary, you can always familiarize yourself with more detailed information regarding the methods and conditions of delivery USPS, insurance and its cost, restrictions, prohibited items, etc. for, on USPS.com. Calculate yourself approximate the cost of postage delivery you can always use online calculator on the site USPS... When using it, remember that length is in inches and weight in pounds (or ounces).

1 inch (inch ) \u003d 2.54 cm

1 lb (lb ) \u003d 0.454 kg

You can also go to the online calculator for calculating the cost of shipment from the main page of the USPS.com website: on the panel Quick Toolsthere are two links that will be useful to US buyers. This is a link Track & Confirm (tracking postal items using received tracking number) and a calculator of the cost of delivery of various items: Calculate a Price.

In this article, each of the proposed United States Postal Service, the delivery option will be described according to the following plan:

Name of the type of delivery by classification USPS.

Estimated delivery time: the time that elapses from the moment the postal item is sent until it is received by the addressee. Please note that delivery times are very approximate and are calculated for residents of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. The delivery time also includes the time it takes your IGO to pass customs control. Sellers often indicate this time at.

Insurance: options and cost of postage insurance offered for this type of delivery.

Size and weight limitation: the maximum size and weight of the mail item allowed for this type of delivery.

Delivery is carried out: – to the post office or - by courier, to the door:

Assignable ID and Online Tracking Capability: when sending, to all, without exception, postal items, be it a package or a parcel, USPS assigns an identification number, which is often called a tracking number ( tracking number / tracking / label / receipt number). In identifiers, the last letters (if present) usually indicate the country of dispatch. If online tracking is provided, then this can be done on the main page of the Internet portal USPS or at special page site USPSby specifying the identification number in the field What’s your label (or receipt) number? and pressing the button Find.
During the course of delivery of the postal item, statuses when using online tracking on the site USPS change, the place and time where this or that event occurred is also indicated. Here are the most typical statuses:

- Electronic Shipping Info Received: USPS has received information about your IGO, but has not yet received it in one of its branches, this status just denotes the first stage of sending IGOs, which were described in detail in the article ""
- Acceptance: the postal item arrived at the post office USPS .
- Arrival: IGOs are located at intermediate delivery points in the United States.
- International Dispatch: the mail has left the United States (so-called export)
- Arrived Abroad: The IGO has arrived in the destination country.
- Delivered Abroad: the postage has been delivered.

If for the selected type of delivery there is the possibility of online tracking along the entire route of the IGO, then on the USPS website you can use this service immediately, and as soon as the shipment crosses the border of the country of destination, it is advisable to track it on the website of your national postal operator, for example, Ukrposhta , Tracking on the main page of the Kazpost website ... This is more preferable because on these sites the information will be updated more quickly, more often and will contain more useful information about the IGO (weight, type of shipment, zip code and address of the post office of destination). If tracking is provided only for the United States ( tracking number starts with a letter “L "- most sellers provide this number anyway), on the site USPS You will be able to find out the place and time of departure and intermediate points delivery, as well as the place of export of the IGO will be indicated. Further information about your shipment on the website USPS will not be updated, when processing the shipment in the country of receipt, such shipment will assigned a different number, therefore, you will be able to find out what stages your IGO went through on the territory of your country only after receiving it.

Duty free limit: cost and weight (sometimes overall dimensions), subject to which, the investment in the MPO received to the address natural person received within a month, customs duty is not assessed.

Conclusion:a few words about the main advantages and disadvantages of this delivery method.

20-40 days is the average delivery time, since IGOs \u200b\u200bcan arrive in 15 calendar days and in 2.5 months.
None, you cannot take out insurance for a separate fee.
Weight no more than 1.8 kg ( 4 lbs), length no more than 59 cm ( 24 inch), length, width and thickness in total no more than 88 cm ( 36 inch), the maximum investment cost is $ 400.
Delivery is carried out: to the addressee's post office.
The postal item is assigned an identifier starting with the letter “ L “. There is a possibility to additionally purchase tracking number for $ 11.75 then the shipment number will start with “ R“.

For example:

View trackingnumber	Shipment type	Full online tracking capability
LN***** US	First Class Mail International	is absent *
LC***** US
LJ***** US
*L ****** US*
RA ******** US	First Class Mail International Registered Mail	There is

* Recently, there have been cases that at the international post office or MMPO (Place of International Postal Exchange) such mailings are not assigned a new postal identifier and the MGO continues to follow the territory of Russia with a "purely American" identification number. For this reason, you should still check the existing type number several times L * *********US on the Russian Post website for 10-20 days after the seller sends the IGO.

6. The duty-free limit is no more than € 1000 and 51 kg for the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, € 200 and 50 kg for Ukraine, € 120 for Belarus, $ 1000 for Uzbekistan.

Conclusion: affordable (the minimum cost of delivery to Russia of goods weighing 0.5 lb , will cost $ 8.46 plus $ 11.75 if online tracking is required), but a fairly long delivery method, the "basic version" does not provide online tracking. Due to the lack of insurance (you cannot buy it in addition), it is highly discouraged to send them valuable and expensive things, as well as goods that it is desirable to receive by a specific date. Usually used for envelopes, small parcels (parcels) with low value investments.

10-35 days.
there is no compulsory insurance for all mailings of this type, if necessary, the sender can purchase insurance separately. The cost is determined according to a special table. An insurance claim up to $ 50 will cost $ 2.45, up to $ 100 at $ 3.40, up to $ 200 at $ 4.75, etc. The maximum insurance limit is $ 5000.
Weight no more than 44 pounds ( 20 tod) for the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, no more than 66 pounds ( 30 Kg) for Ukraine and Belarus. Length no more than 103 cm (42 inches), length and girth ( the girth is calculated as: length + 2 widths + 2 heights) in total no more than 194 cm ( 79 inch).
Delivery is carried out to the addressee's post office.
Assignable tracking number and the possibility of online tracking directly depends on the specific type of postal item:

Name of the type of delivery method	View tracking number	Online tracking capability
Priority Mail® International	CP***** US CT***** US CQ***** US CJ***** US	there is
Priority Mail® International Large Flat-Rate Box
Priority Mail® International Regular
Priority Mail® International Medium Flat-Rate Boxes
Priority Mail® International Small Flat-Rate Box	*L ******* US (it is possible to additionally purchase a type number RA ********US )	is absent (available, you must additionally purchase a track number)
Priority Mail® International Small Flat-Rate Envelope

The duty free size limit is the same as for IGOs \u200b\u200bsent using FirstClass Mail International, and when calculating the amount of customs payments (or benefits), all IGOs \u200b\u200bare added, regardless of their type.

Conclusion: given view delivery is most popular when ordering goods from the United States. It has both pluses: moderate cost, and minuses: relatively long delivery time, insurance coverage is not necessary, online tracking is not possible for all variants of this delivery method. If the seller offers Priority Mail® International - remember that if there is a choice (and sellers often provide it), then it is advisable to insure the shipment and send in a way that provides for full online tracking.

As I already wrote in the article "" in the USA, express delivery services of an international organization EMS carries out USPS under the brand USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.

For this type of shipment, the delivery time is 10-25 days.

All mailings are automatically insured for the equivalent of $ 100, with the insurance premium already included in the shipping cost. If you wish, you can insure the postal item for a large amount. The cost is determined according to a special table. A coverage limit of up to $ 200 will cost $ 0.75, up to $ 500 at $ 2.15, etc. As you can see, the amount of insurance premiums is much less than for USPS PriorityMail® International. The maximum sum insured is $ 5000.

The maximum size and weight of a shipment depends on the country of destination. For example - for Russia:

Weight not more than 31.75 kg ( 70 lbs), length no more than 152 cm ( 60 inches), length and girth in the total no more than 274 cm ( 108 inch).
- for Ukraine, Belarus:
Weight no more than 20 kg ( 44 lb), length no more than 91 cm (36 inches), length and girth not more than 200 cm (79 inches) in total.

Shipments are assigned an identifier starting with the letter “ E“.
For example of the following form:

EM ********* US

EG ********* US

E IN ********* US

EV ********* US
