How long does it take for a parcel to arrive from Sharapovo? International Russian Logistics Center (IR LC) Vnukovo - how to find out the sender of a registered letter? DHL - German logistics company

Nowadays, it is popular to make purchases via the Internet; it is considered especially profitable to buy Chinese goods, since they have a very attractive price and the quality of Chinese goods is no longer inferior to any other. Most often people buy on Ali: clothes, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, small appliances, and household goods.

It happens that the parcel does not arrive for a very long time, but the shipment status says “released by customs.” How long should I wait for such a parcel?

Now cases of delays of parcels from abroad at customs are a common occurrence and this happens to every third person. What are the reasons for this misunderstanding?

  • Exceeding the permissible limit for the value of the parcel;
  • Problems with documents

If the parcel is delayed by customs, the wait may be seriously delayed and you risk being left without the long-awaited goods at all.

How to track your parcel

You go to Ali and make a purchase of the product you like. After paying for it, you choose a delivery service with which the goods will be delivered to you. That is, find the “Delivery” menu to the right of the product image and click on “delivery from your country.” Next, you can see a menu where available delivery services will be displayed.

Here you choose a service that suits you; we will talk about them and their features below. But, please note, if the “released by customs” status lasts more than days, you need to contact the service administration or Ali to resolve this issue.

EMS is the world's largest delivery service

Through this delivery system you can receive a parcel from Ali. What is its difference from other companies, advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage is a representative office in Russia - EMS Russian Post.

One of the services for tracking parcels from EMS Russian Post is Postal Ninja. Here you can track your parcel by tracking number.

The EMS representative office in Russia delivers the parcel in the same way as it was sent from China, so the risk of confusion and delays is virtually eliminated. Here are some more important features of the service:

  • The delivery service operates mobile;
  • affordable price;
  • Poski delivery by courier to your home;
  • It is also possible to pick up the parcel at the post office;
  • permissible weight - 31 kg.

If you use EMS delivery services and your package is detained at customs, here is what you need to do and what to pay attention to:

  • The parcel can be registered at customs for no more than 10 days;
  • regarding the delay, you can contact the Russian representative office of the company directly.

China Post

The state-owned postal operator provides domestic and international parcel delivery services, which has a developed system of mail processing points throughout China. The largest centers are in: Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Here is a list of important features of China Post:

  • Due to heavy workload, processing your order may take from 7 days to 1 month;
  • China Post cooperates with many small online stores and large trading platforms, such as: Aliexpress, eBay, TaoBao.

It is important to understand that when you register a message on this service, it is assigned a tracking number, but it will be impossible to track its movement after crossing the Chinese border.

DHL - German logistics company

It operates all over the world, delivering parcels from different parts of the world. It has its own representative office in Russia and is a customs broker. One of the company's sorting centers is located in the south and also in the center of Moscow.

Due to tightening work requirements, DHL has suspended delivery of goods throughout Russia, with the exception of some stores, the list of which includes Aliexpress.

You can track a parcel sent through this logistics company using the track24.ru tracking service. Here you will see how many points and how long it takes your product to pass through before getting into your hands and where it is currently located.

If the parcel arrives at the Vnukovo customs office, this process will also affect this service. You will see when your goods have been accepted, processed and finally received the status “released by customs of MR LC Vnukovo”.

It should be noted that 102976 Sharapovo is the location of the international postal exchange Vnukovo. Therefore, released by Sharapovo customs means that the parcel has successfully passed customs control and from that moment the established shipping deadlines within Russia begin to apply.

Delivery EPACKET

Very convenient delivery service in China. Its main advantage is that delivery through China to the Russian border is very fast, thanks to the company’s internal cooperation agreements and corporate ethics. Upon reaching the border, the parcel is handed over to the Russian Post.

If the goods are delayed at customs, you can only get information from the store that sent it to you. It is possible to track the parcel using the track number, but if the shipment status is not updated for a long time, then you can only ask questions to the store from which you made the order.

However, this sending method is one of the cheapest and fastest of all available on Ali. Many online store users use the services of this logistics company.

Now you know what “released by customs” status means and how you can find out more information about the shipment and timing of receiving your item. We also figured out how long to wait, how to track the parcel and where to contact if it is delayed.

This may take from 3 to 10 days.

The postal item has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country.

After the parcel leaves the territory of the sender's country and arrives at the destination country, such shipments are re-marked with untraceable track codes and are no longer tracked.

When the parcel arrives at your post office, you will receive a paper notification with which you need to come to the post office and receive the parcel.

Detained by customs

This operation means that the postal item is detained by FCS employees to carry out measures to determine the purpose of the postal item. When receiving goods by international mail during a calendar month, the customs value of which exceeds 1000 euros, and (or) the total weight of which exceeds 31 kilograms, in part of such excess, it is necessary to pay customs duties and taxes using a flat rate of 30% of the customs value of the goods , but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of their weight. If information about the goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to the actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need to conduct a customs inspection and document its results.

Submission

The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was discovered and the parcel was redirected to the correct address.

Import international mail

The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.

All mail arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation from air flights begins its journey at the aviation postal department (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in an electronic database. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered on where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.

The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. The choice of city where exactly the international shipment will arrive depends on the sender’s country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.

If the shipment is in the “Export” status, then it is impossible to track it (find out what exactly is happening to it); only at the import stage will you be able to see your package and monitor its further movement. The use of transit transportation and certain restrictions often delay shipments. However, if your parcel was sent more than 3 months ago, but has not received the “Import” status, then the sender needs to contact the post office and apply for a search.

Export, processing

Indicates the actual dispatch of the postal item to the destination country.

The “Export” status includes the transfer of the parcel to a foreign carrier, which, by land or air transportation, transports it to the MMPO of the destination country. As a rule, this status is the longest and the transition to “Import” may take some time. This happens due to the characteristics of flight routes and the formation of the optimal weight for transporting it by plane. For example, shipments from China may be delayed due to the fact that cargo planes can carry at least 50 - 100 tons.
On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.

As a rule, from the moment of registration until the actual delivery of the parcel, it can take from 1 to 7 days. After the parcel is transferred, the status will change to “Reception” or similar.

Production automation processes also penetrate into the work of postal services. Well-equipped sorting centers are opening, the task of which is to facilitate the manual labor of postal workers and make the delivery of correspondence more efficient.

Recently, on notifications from post offices, instead of specific addresses, full names or company names, obscure abbreviations are increasingly appearing: MMPO, PKO, DTI, etc. Let us explain what the abbreviation “MR LC Vnukovo” means, what it means on a postal notice, from who receives correspondence with such notes.

What is hidden behind the designation MR LC?

If a citizen receives a notification indicating that a registered letter has been received from the Vnukovo Medical Center, what is this - the first logical question that will come to any person’s mind. You should not immediately suspect fraudsters’ interest in the recipient or other malicious intent.

The abbreviation simply stands for international Russian logistics center located in Vnukovo. This is a structural unit of Russian Post where international correspondence is processed.

Therefore, visitors and clients of such foreign trading resources as EBay, AliExpress and others are familiar with the designation firsthand. They know that if the notice contains a similar return address, then most likely it was a parcel post, EMS express mail, or registered mail from another country. By the weight, which is usually indicated in the notification, you can easily guess what exactly is in the mail. Envelopes usually weigh up to 20 g.

Abbreviation options

Letters can be sent not only by Chinese online stores, but also by Russian government agencies. So, if it is reported that a registered letter has arrived from the addressee of MR LC Vnukovo, and next to it there is a DTI mark (this is how an additional technological index is designated), then there is a high chance of receiving:

  • fine from the traffic police,
  • message from the bailiffs,
  • court order or determination,
  • requirement to pay taxes from the Federal Tax Service;
  • letter from the Pension Fund.

In addition, messages from banks, various commercial companies and non-profit associations that have a large correspondence turnover can be sent through the logistics center.

Sometimes people receive a notification with similar content: “102981 MR LC Vnukovo workshop processing internal post office.” This is a division of the Moscow postal service, which is subordinate to the Vnukovo logistics complex. Internal shipments are processed there. Let's say a parcel with damaged packaging was discovered, it is repacked and sent further, putting a similar mark.

MR LC Vnukovo workshop-1: where is it located?

The logistics center is located near the village of Sharapovo, along Borovskoye Highway. It is marked on public maps. However, visitors are not accepted there. This is an impressive automated complex. Up to 300,000 pieces of various correspondence are processed per day. The center houses not only sorting workshops equipped with conveyor belts, but also customs.

The work is not fully automated; the complex is staffed by real personnel. People are involved in the distribution of shipments after sorting activities, checking the integrity of the packaging, etc.

The logistics center has its own indexes: 102976, 102976 and several more; you can call there using the free mail hotline. Phone number - 8-800-200-58-88.


Why is correspondence often delayed?

Users are often interested in the question: if the line “MR LC Vnukovo workshop-1: released by customs” appears in the shipment tracking, how long will it take to receive the coveted parcel at the OPS?

It is noted that the period of stay in the LC can range from 12 hours to 14 days. This depends on a number of factors:

  • workload;
  • occurrence of various malfunctions;
  • large “seasonal” influx (during the holidays, after Black Fridays).

How to track a shipment or identify the sender?

Citizens are usually wary when they receive a notice with strange letters instead of an address. Especially if, for example, a letter arrived addressed to a child. You can easily identify the addressee using the internal verification service available on the official website pochta.ru:

  • you need to enter the numbers specified in the notification into the search line;
  • this is a unique numeric identifier code consisting of 14 characters;
  • Based on the results, the search will display the name of the sender, as well as the points that the parcel is passing through or has already left.

Naturally, data does not enter the system instantly, so you cannot always count on real-time mode. Although, in general, they are quite accurate.
When the sender and recipient agree on transfer, the unique code data is usually sent to the person waiting to receive it. Using the identifier, it is easy to track the movement of your order.


Receipt rules

They are standard, the same rules apply as during normal interaction with security guards:
you must visit the department indicated in the notice during business hours;
Either the recipient himself or a representative with a power of attorney must appear for registered mail;

  • present your passport;
  • sign for delivery.

It is impossible to find out about the contents of the envelope until it is opened. Therefore, when a person does not suspect who could send him a valuable cargo, it is better to refrain from receiving cash on delivery.

The indication of the geographical directory of Vnukovo does not determine that the message was sent from the Moscow region. With equal probability, residents of St. Petersburg, Voronezh, and other regions of the Russian Federation can receive such correspondence.

Relatively recently, mail played a vital role in the life of every person. The only way to communicate between cities was by sending a letter or telegram. Moreover, to keep abreast of events, people subscribed to newspapers. With the development of cellular communications and the Internet, for a short period it seemed that mail was completely obsolete. But there were still parcels and registered letters. And here the development of online stores has opened a new page in

Today, most people prefer to shop online. Parcels are delivered by Russian Post. All of them pass through a special distribution center. For international mail there is a sorting center in Sharapovo. Where is it, we will talk to you today.

"Post office"

Each region has a branch that is responsible for delivering correspondence in its area. All branches are divided into 10 macro-regions, each of which has one common center where all parcels arrive for further distribution. There are two branches in Moscow, which are united into one macro-region.

But that is not all. The Vnukovo logistics center is located on the territory of the region, which processes shipments not only within the country, but also international parcels.

What's going on here

Let us repeat once again where it is: the sorting center in Sharapovo is located not far from Podolsk. Life is in full swing here around the clock: huge machines flash with red lights, conveyors hum. As a result, all parcels and letters are distributed and sent to post offices in six regions of Russia.

A person may not even know where it is. The sorting center in Sharapovo operates as follows. Let's say a person sent a letter to Vladivostok. It will go first to the Podolsk ASC, then to the regional branch.

Let's take a look inside

Residents of the area know exactly where it is. The sorting center in Sharapovo is a place of work for many. Here, 350 people work per shift, and a total of 1,650 people are employed. It sorts ordinary and registered letters, as well as parcels. After that, they are sent to regional post offices, where their final recipients receive them.

For you, it all ends when you drop the letter in the mailbox. But the work of the postal service is just beginning. It arrives at the distribution center, receives a dispatch date, and the mail containers go to the regional sorting center.

Bandwidth

The majority of shipments at the processing center are corporate correspondence. This number also includes notifications from government agencies, for example, fines from the traffic police. But the functional tasks do not end there; parcels and packages are also processed here.

You can see where the sorting center in Sharapovo is located on the map above. The sorting speed here is maximum - only 21 hours. This is how much time passes between the entry and exit of correspondence. About 3 million letters and parcels pass through the center every day. In the spring, the influx increases greatly because government agencies send holiday notices. December is not far behind - the season of congratulations.

Modernization of work

The sorting center in Sharapovo underwent improvements two years ago. First of all, the task was to simplify and speed up the processing of correspondence. This was done thanks to automation and competent logistics:

  • Now all parcels are sorted using special equipment. Today you can see on every letter or parcel the imprint “Left from the sorting center in Sharapovo”, the date and time. Previously, parcels could not leave the center for several days. In order for these changes to begin to work, a large-scale reorganization and optimization of all business processes was carried out.
  • The second point is logistics. The routes were revised and unnecessary points were removed. For example, a person in Omsk sent a letter to an addressee in his city. It goes to the Moscow sorting center and then comes back. Local shipments are now processed within the city.

Departments that are subordinate to

Address of the sorting center in Sharapovo: 102975, Moscow, Sharapovo. That's all the data. In fact, the address is not written down anywhere; all clarifications on this issue come down to the wording “near the village of Sharapovo.” Apparently, this object is simply impossible here. On the other hand, since this does not prevent letters and parcels from freely getting here and going to their addresses, it means that it is really not difficult. The object is subordinate to:

  • plot;
  • several workshops.

How does sorting work?

A person, or rather an operator, begins work. Its task is to initially scan the barcode. At the same time, information appears in a special program about what type of mail was received. The data is uploaded to the official website. Now a client who knows the identification code can find out where his parcel is located.

Exemplary order reigns here, which allows you to avoid mistakes. All containers are distributed among the workshops: written correspondence, parcels and express shipments. To date, the last workshop is only partially automated. The use of manual scanning continues. According to the employees themselves, this is due to the fact that some items have a non-standard shape.

Sorting regular emails

Manual labor is also partially preserved here. Operators put them in boxes so that they lie “facing” each other. After this, the scanner reads the addresses and distributes the letters into the required cells. This happens very quickly. Approximately 12 letters pass in one second. If the address is written down with errors, it will be returned to the operators. They manually enter the index from images of letters. Working here requires good experience and quick response.

What happens to parcels

They are distributed over several stream lines:

  • Boxes and packages that are sent abroad.
  • Large, heavy and oversized loads.
  • Ordinary parcels.

As they follow the belt, parcels automatically fall into compartments that correspond to the post office of the city or region to which they are to be delivered.

Why the fright did all the parcels (orders) suddenly begin to be delivered through customs, and the so-called “L/C” to Sharapovo? What kind of Monopoly is this, with discrimination??? Previously, all orders from Singapore (as well as from Asia in general) to the Republic of Belarus mainly went through Orenburg. Because, in terms of delivery, RossPost is much closer and faster. And everything was fine, and without delays. And people received their orders from 14 to 20 days. Now, not only do all orders recently go for some reason only mainly through Sharapovo, but also through some kind of l/c ? Which slow down and are in no hurry to release goods (s) to S/C - sorting centers? Why do we even need such a L/C if they don’t (as is done in ALL European and Asian countries) deliver in Russia??? The order arrived at customs, as well as in (Russia), on 07/07/17 (although the order itself left Singapore, (as indicated by the link from "Alika"), on the Asian website) on 07/06/17), and in the same day, has already been released by customs. For example, it is the central office as a whole that creates problems for many consumers. Since the main number of orders are either lost (stolen) or arrive with mechanical damage, it is the orders that pass “customs” at the central office. through Moscow and Moscow region. This also includes Sharapovo. But despite all these problems with delays and complaints, I still hope that I will receive my order, albeit late, but intact? Like my previous order. Which, for some reason, also ended up in Sharapovo first? Although it came from Hong Kong. It smacks of discrimination with a monopoly. Russia is big, and for some reason all orders from Asia and Southeast Asia deliberately and purposefully go through Moscow, or the Moscow region? Why not Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Murmansk, Vladivostok, Orenburg, Kazan, Ufa, and many others. the nearest cities of Russia? Where are there International Airports with customs??? They came up with the idea, From Asia to the Moscow Region Central District. then wait until the order from Moscow wanders around the cities of the R/R/D in circles. From here the question; Whose whim is this??? And where is the Russian antimonopoly service looking??? Or are they only formally listed as the “antimonopoly service”??? To all those who complain about Russian Post. Basically, many goods - orders - disappear even before they reach the Sorting Centers of Russian Post. Once I was tracking one of the orders by weight. After I saw that the order, upon receipt at the sorting center (or no matter where), had lost weight, I didn’t bother waiting, I simply refused it on the website where I ordered the goods. And within 6 and 11 days the funds were returned to my card. Although, it was registered within 45 days. By the way, this is a good functionality for returning the entire amount if the argument or reason is justified . I hope that this advice will help some avoid problems with returning their funds. And it is advisable to do this before the order arrives at the final destination. Therefore, you can ask for a photo file(s), or simply message the seller for the weight of the sent order. Early weight orders, for example, the same "Alika" was always and everywhere indicated during tracking. The exception is perhaps small and cheap orders. Now, for some reason, the weight cannot always be observed? Apparently this is the “policy” for the “scammers”. I will give a rating after receiving the order in proper form. Although, the delivery time does not automatically allow us to give 5 stars. The argument for delivery on time, a date indicating from 25 - 45 - 60 days, is not an argument. Because in general, the maximum period is taken when sending with a delay by the seller. Due to the lack of availability of goods at the time of order (which is not notified in advance). If the seller does not delay the shipment, as well as the country of dispatch, then the terms should be appropriate - accelerated. Something like this. I don’t really care about the work of our Russian Post. Sometimes you have to wait more than two weeks for your parcels from St. Petersburg. Because... some incompetent “employees” send, not only are they in no hurry, but also through, where and when it is convenient for them!? And not as it should be. Example From Arkhangelsk via Moscow, parcels arrive in 9-11 days. To the Republic of Belarus parcels from St. Petersburg , they’re coming, well, very good. for a long time??? And even through Samara - RT - Kazan then to Ufa and then to the destination? Although, there are shorter and faster routes along the same railway lines. This is how we “live”... It turns out that until you evaluate the message, the message is not sent!? Hmmm... Alas, but higher than 3 - three, yes, and even then with an advance payment, I can’t deliver. (The reason is stated above: 5 days the order was in the l/c. Why, and what did he do during these 5 days in the l/c ts??? It’s just like they “did an audit” - (they screwed up) probably!? So, then think about how you need to quickly improve and establish the process of sending consumer orders. In order to gain trust with respect from citizens. Of which there is less than expected, and I would like to observe.
