If you decide to use this method, then your parcel will arrive in Ukraine only after 2 months. In addition, despite all the precautions, its safety can not be guaranteed. How many times did the guys who serve in remote corners of our country receive incomplete packages?

So how much is it to send a parcel? It depends on the weight and type of cargo that you are going to forward. The first type is "Small package". It is a small consignment weighing up to 2 kg and can contain small unbreakable items or single samples of the goods.

Bag

The bag "M" is the next step, showing how to send a parcel from Russia to Ukraine. This type of departure is rather narrowly specialized and is a set of printed publications or, roughly speaking, recycled paper.

• He can weigh a maximum of 14.5 kilograms and have the following dimensions: the sum of all sides should not exceed 0.9 meters, and one face - 0.6 meters.
• For a parcel weighing up to 5 kilograms you will have to pay 230 + 112 rubles for each incomplete kilogram of weight. That is, if you are going to send 4.5 kg of magazines, then you will pay 230 + 112 * 5 = 790 rubles without VAT.
• When sending a parcel from 5 to 14.5 kg the cost will be 124.5 + 158 rubles for each incomplete kilogram. So, for 8.3 kg you will need to pay 124.5 + 158 * 9 = 1546.5 rubles.

When packing the parcel, remember that you use the services of the state institution, which means that all the rules and instructions are very strict. If you violate the above dimensions and weight, even by 1%, you have the right to refuse sending, and it will be useless to argue.

Express

If you need to send a parcel to or from Ukraine as soon as possible, you can use the express mail service. Almost all of them work on the basis of state, or have a large number of restrictions on the shipment. So, in Russia there is only one post, which in fact monopolized the market, - EMS. It is the only one that has a full list of licenses from the state, which allows you to send almost any goods. There are limitations, but they are quite reasonable:

• You can not send goods over 31.5 kilograms.
• Do not send perishable goods, liquids, weapons, precious metals, drugs.
• The size of EMS parcels is similar to the usual parcels of "Russian Post".

Unfortunately, their tariffing does not have a clear mathematical sequence, and the price increases for each kilogram of weight.

• If you are going to send documents using EMS, it will cost you from 780 to 1480 rubles, depending on the weight, but not more than 2 kilograms.
• When sending a commodity investment, the cost of delivery is from 1115 to 7655 rubles, depending on the weight.

The main advantage will be the speed: a maximum of 2 weeks - and the parcel will be delivered by the courier to the destination. It is worth taking into account some of the nuances.

• Your recipient should specify if there is an EMS delivery service in his city. If not, then the parcel will be delivered to the post office, and it will have to be taken away independently.
• It is necessary to specify the phone number of the recipient, without it the chances of delivery are very small.

Tracking

When you send a parcel in any of the above ways, mail employees should point you to the parcel number (track code) with which you can track the movement of your cargo.

• On the "Mail of Russia" track-code is located on the check about payment and looks like - UU123456789RU. Where the first two letters are the code denoting the type of the parcel, then the nine-digit unique identifier is followed and in the end the letters meaning the country of the sender.
• When using EMS, you will receive a copy of the address label. In its upper part you can see the number written under the bar-code - EA123456789EN, meaning the same as the codes of "Russian Post".

Track the parcel of "Russia-Ukraine" on the main page of "Russian Post". You need to go to the "Tracking items" link in the menu on the left and enter the track code received at the time of sending.
