Step-by-step instructions: what stages does sending a parcel include?

So, how to send a parcel by Russian Post? Sending a simple parcel involves three steps:

• Packing attachments.
• Filling out the sending form.
• Sending through the PR operator window.

How to package an attachment

In what container is it better to send things by Russian Post parcel? The instructions and the following recommendations will help you formalize the attachment in accordance with the requirements of the Russian Federation PR and, most importantly, keep the “insides” of the parcel intact.

Depending on the weight and size of the attachment, a simple parcel can be sent:

• In a special postal package. It can be purchased from the PR operator. All information about the recipient and sender with this method of sending is indicated directly on the envelope.
• In a branded cardboard or wooden box - you can purchase such containers and pack the investment immediately at the PR department.

The item being sent should be carefully wrapped with wrapping paper, in 2-4 layers, and then the edges should be glued together with glue. Wrapping with self-adhesive tape is strictly prohibited; such packaging will be secured with branded PR tape upon receipt.
• In a simple, clean cardboard or wooden box, on the surface of which there are no inscriptions, drawings, stamps, traces of self-adhesive tape, etc. The shipping rules provide for the opportunity to send the parcel in any suitable box with inscriptions, but to do this it must be carefully wrapped in plain wrapping paper (sewn in plain cotton fabric).

• It is not allowed to secure postal containers with any self-adhesive tape. When received at the post office, the edges of the parcel are glued together with branded tape with the RF PR logo.

Filling out the submission form

Correctly filling out postal form No. 116 is another step that will need to be taken before sending the parcel by Russian Post. The instructions for entering data are simple, but filling it out will require care and accuracy. Today there are two ways to issue a postal form.

You can quickly and easily enter all the information through the Russian PR website. To do this, you need to open the section for filling out the address label in the “Forms” section and select “Parcel” in the “Dispatch Type” line. Next, you should fill out all the interactive lines, indicating information about the recipient and sender, sending parameters and, if desired, select an additional SMS notification. After entering all the information, you need to download the already completed postal form using the button below, print it and give it to the post office operator upon sending. You can stick the form directly onto the parcel, but only with glue (adhesive tape and other materials cannot be used).

Another way is to take a ready-made blank form from the post office and enter the data by hand. All shipping documents of this type are freely available at the post office and are issued to clients free of charge. When filling out, you should be guided by the following requirements:

• The mail client will need to fill out the front part of the form, namely the lines in the field highlighted with a bold line.
