Until now, many residents of Russia continue to use the services of post offices. And the sending of various documentation, and just personal belongings does not lose its relevance. All shipments are divided into certain classes, and it is necessary to determine in advance which class to send your parcel or parcel post.
The dispatch difference is what you are going to send. After all, if we are talking about important documents, then it is important not only that they reach the recipient exactly. The speed with which they will be delivered to their destination is also important. Also, in class 1 parcels, you can also send various attachments, which also increases the popularity of this type of mail.
Delivery speed
First of all, 1st class shipments arrive faster than usual, because they do not undergo any additional sorting and checks after being packed in a post office. That is, you can be sure that your shipment will be checked 1 time in the department in which it will be accepted. After that, it is possible to check only at customs if you are sending the shipment to another country. For delivery within Russia, 1st class shipments go directly to the destination address. Bypassing the district post sorting points, you gain not only time. The risk of getting lost for such shipments is much lower than for ordinary shipments, all 1st class shipments are classified as expedited. The operator of the post office is obliged to clarify all questions about the delivery time to you. After all, you overpay for the speed, so you should get as much information as possible before paying for this service. In addition, these shipments are guaranteed to be handled more carefully than regular shipments. So when sending important records and documents, it is worth paying attention to this type of delivery. But do not forget that any 1st class shipments are only registered ones.
How to send
Arriving at the post office, you have every right to a detailed consultation, after which you start processing the 1st class departure. You must present everything that you intend to send so that the postal worker makes sure that all the contents of the parcel are allowed for transportation. You may be provided with a special directory, which contains a list of things prohibited for shipment. After approval, the process of registration and packaging takes place. Make sure that your mail is packed as tightly and fully as possible, without tears and loose seams. After that you pay for the mail services and receive a check in your hands, which must be kept. You also get a list of what has been sent in your hands so that the recipient can make sure that your shipment is intact.
