Russian Post (Pochta Rossii) serves as the official postal operator of Russia, managing a network of more than 38,000 post offices nationwide. It provides a wide range of delivery services for domestic and international shipments, connecting Russia with over 190 countries.
Established in 1693, Russian Post has grown into a modern logistics provider while maintaining its role as the country's universal postal service. The infrastructure includes sorting centers, a fleet of over 17,000 vehicles, railway carriages, and air transport, enabling delivery to remote locations.
Domestic services include standard mail, first-class delivery, EMS (Express Mail Service), and courier options. International shipments are handled through registered mail, EMS international, and parcel delivery with tracking. Each shipment is assigned a unique tracking number: 13 characters with letters for international parcels and 14 digits for domestic items.
The tracking system offers real-time updates on shipment status, location, customs clearance, and estimated delivery dates. Both senders and recipients can monitor parcels throughout the delivery process.
To track a Russian Post package, enter the tracking number on the official website or tracking tools. This applies to shipments moving within Russia or crossing international borders.
The parcel has been registered in the system but has not yet been handed over for processing. The seller may have created the tracking number, but the package hasn’t been shipped yet.
The package has left the sender’s warehouse and is on its way to the destination. It may be passing through sorting centers or customs.
The parcel has been successfully delivered to the recipient. Delivery is usually confirmed by a signature or other confirmation.
The status means there is no information about the package. Possible reasons include an incorrect tracking number, the package not yet registered in the system, or it is no longer being tracked.
Use the tracking number on the Russian Post website or tracking tools. International numbers have 13 characters with letters; domestic ones have 14 digits.
Within cities, delivery takes 2-5 business days; remote areas require 7-14 days. International shipments usually take 10-30 days depending on destination and customs.
Statuses include 'Registered', 'Arrived at sorting center', 'Departed', 'Arrived at customs', 'Released from customs', 'Arrived at post office', 'Ready for pickup', and 'Delivered'. Customs statuses appear for international parcels.
Customs may hold packages for inspection or missing documents. Contact Russian Post support with your tracking number for guidance.
