There is a significant Russian-speaking community in the United States, whose members still often have not lost touch with their homeland. Therefore, the issue of sending letters to the United States from Russia remains relevant. There are many ways to establish postal communication between countries, and you can choose one of them, depending on your goals and financial capabilities.
Instructions
Step 1
Use the services of the Russian Post. This is the least expensive way to send mail to the United States. For example, a small certified letter will cost you about 70 rubles (at 2012 prices). But be prepared for the fact that such correspondence can go to the addressee for a long time. For faster receipt of a letter, you can use high-speed EMS mail, created on the basis of the Russian Post. You can arrange such a shipment at any post office.
Step 2
Choose a non-government delivery service. There are many of them, for example, FedEx and others. Delivery time by such mail can be two to three working days, but the cost will be much higher.
Step 3
If you need to forward any letter or document urgently, and you do not want to pay large sums of money, use the help of your compatriots. Find one of the many Russian émigré forums in the USA and ask there a question if any of them are flying to the city in which you are. If the person agrees to help you, you can send the document you need for free. But consider the risk - an unfamiliar person can let you down and, for example, lose the document you need.
Step 4
Use the easiest and most affordable way - email. Of course, this option is not suitable for those who send, for example, a power of attorney. But for correspondence with friends and family, the Internet performs all the necessary functions - you will receive a message from a loved one quickly and free of charge.
