The work of "Russian Post" and Internet shopping

I have a huge experience of transactions via the Internet. Back in 2002, I actively bought various goods in foreign online stores, and also bought and sold at the ebay.com auction. On some days, it was necessary to send 4-5 parcels using the services of the Russian Post.

For all the time I had to receive and send many parcels, from small ones weighing no more than 250 grams, to parcels weighing 5 kilograms! It should be noted that the Russian Post has never let me down. There were slight delays, but the parcel was never delivered more than 4 weeks, usually the delivery time from the USA, or vice versa, from Russia to the USA, took no more than 14-17 days. In some cases, parcels arrived in 8-12 days, which is very fast, given the low rates of that time.

And in 2008, I no longer needed to use the services of the Russian Post, the number of parcels became much smaller, and they began to be delivered to my house through a courier service. But the rest of the Russians, on the contrary, began to buy more and more on the Internet, using Russian mail for delivery. As a result, you yourself know what happened. Russian Post could not cope with the increased flow of shipments, raised prices, but still some parcels began to be delivered for months. This is no wonder, they cannot cope with the increased volume of shipments.

In 2013 alone, the turnover of international mail processed by Russian Post is expected to double in comparison with the previous year! It turns out that Russians live great, since they buy more and more!

Therefore, if you are thinking of buying something for yourself or as a gift for the New Year, hurry up, pay for the order today or tomorrow, otherwise your package will arrive after Christmas! Although the Russian Post assures that they are ready for the New Year's influx of parcels from abroad.
