It often happens that our relatives and friends, due to various circumstances, are thousands of kilometers away from us. Many live in the states closest to Russia, for example, in Ukraine. Sometimes it becomes necessary to send some thing or just a gift for a birthday or other special occasion. Knowing the address and place of residence, you can use the services of the nearest post office, from where your item will be delivered to the right person at a certain time.
