Now, when many people in Russia have constant access to the Internet, where they can use e-mail and social networks, ordinary paper letters seem archaic. However, quite a few people still send letters in envelopes. And how upset it can be if the letter does not reach the addressee. Why is this happening?
The letter may not reach the addressee for various reasons. The first is the misspelling of the recipient's address. In the case of incorrect writing of the index, the letter, at best, wandered from one post office to another, and did not always reach the addressee, or simply returned to the sender. If the index was absent at all, then the postal workers either added it themselves, or the letter could be sent further with only one address. But now modern electronic sorting technology simply will not let letters with an incorrectly written index or without it, and the correspondence will be sent back to the sender.
In the case of an incorrect spelling of the address, everything is clear - the address was not indicated, the letter did not reach. Moreover, this will happen even if you forgot to indicate only the apartment number. The postman will not look in the whole house for Vasya Ivanov, who lives in one of a couple of hundred apartments! In this case, the letter will return to you. … Write the address in detail, legibly and correctly. First, the street is written, the house number of the apartment, below - the city, below - the region, territory or republic. And if on ordinary letters they do not pay too much attention to the incorrect order of the lines, then a registered one with an incorrectly filled in address will simply not be sent to you.
Postmen are also real people and sometimes make mistakes, for example, they can confuse house 22/12 with house 12/22. Or the address 15-25, which usually means house 15, apartment 25, is regarded as 15/25, and a letter addressed to you will end up in another house, and there is no guarantee that the people who received it will bring the letter to you.
After all, our mailboxes are also imperfect. It's also good if you have your own home. But residents of high-rise buildings often encounter broken, old boxes, into which anyone can climb. There is a way out - to create a post office box in the post office, or ask friends to send a registered letter instead of the usual one. It will not reach your mailbox, you will receive it in person by mail.
But even with registered letters, not everything is so smooth. A notice is brought to the addressee, but it is not handed over personally, but thrown into the mailbox, therefore it can be lost. And if within a month you do not pick up your registered letter, it will be returned back due to the expiration of the storage period.
If the letter is delayed, you can control its delivery using the official website of the Russian Post www.russianpost.ru. Refer to the sections: "Tracking postal items", "quality control and tracing of postal items."
