With the ubiquity of e-mail, many have stopped writing letters and sending them in envelopes. We prefer a fast and convenient way to communicate in the virtual space. However, it is impossible to send a virtual parcel or parcel post. And sometimes you just want to please your loved ones with a "live" postcard or a warm letter written in the old fashioned way.

Step 1
Postal codes exist in many countries around the world. And surely each of us at least once in our life had to find out these cherished numbers. The easiest way is to ask at the post office before sending the letter / parcel. But they will not always answer you, or they will simply answer impolitely. For those who want to be sure that the shipment will reach the addressee, we advise you to try the following methods of searching for indexes.
Step 2
To find out the postal codes of Russian cities, use the service on the Russian Post website. To do this, go to https://russianpost.ru/rp/servise/ru/home/postuslug/searchops. If you want to find the zip code by service area, select the appropriate item. Select the required region, district, town, street and house from the drop-down menus. At the bottom, click the "Find" button. After that, below this button, you will see the result
Step 3
You can also find the index at the address, for this on the website of the Russian Post (see the previous point), check the appropriate box and enter the desired address without commas and prefixes. Click the "Find" button and get the search results. If nothing was found, try to remove an extra word from the street name (such as "Small", "Third", etc.)
Step 4
In addition to Russian Post, you can search for the postal code on special sites, such as https://www.ruspostindex.ru/. Select an area from the list, then a city or district, a street. Please note that different house numbers on the same street may refer to different post offices
Step 5
To find out the index of another country, use the sites https://www.geopostcodes.com/ or https://postal-codes.net (in Russian https://www.statkod.ru/post.html). Select country, state / province / land name, city. It is not always easy to figure it out, since each country has a special administrative division, therefore, before sending mail abroad, it is worth checking the full address and zip code with the recipient
Step 6
Please enter the index correctly. For example, on envelopes of the Russian Post, all numbers must be written according to the pattern shown on the back. Of course, even without the index, your letter will go to its destination. After all, all letters are sorted before sending, and envelopes without an index are stamped with the necessary numbers. Still, look for a zip code - written in advance, it will speed up the process of delivering your shipment.
