The distance between Russia and Great Britain, if you count from the capitals, is 3009 km. Departures from England to Russia are very common. But, since mailing to England from Russia is not a very widespread practice, there are only a few ways to do this.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact the "Post of Russia", which makes mail all over the world. In order to find out the cost of sending your parcel, you can personally contact the department with the parcel. It will be weighed, evaluated and told you an approximate amount.
Step 2
You can also find out this information from the comfort of your home, but only if you have scales and the Internet. Weigh your things (remember that, for example, on a box with sweets, only the weight of sweets will be indicated, and you will have to pay for cardboard as well) and enter the necessary data into the calculator on the mail website (https://www.russianpost.ru/rp/servise/ru/home/postuslug/autotarif). For example, to send a parcel weighing 1000 grams to the UK using an airplane, you will have to pay 839 rubles. Mail rates are the most democratic of all official ones, however, delivery times for air parcels are from 11 working days, ground ones - from 20
Step 3
On the site you can also use the service "Tracking postal items". After registration of the parcel, it is assigned a postal identifier, enter it in the field on this page (https://www.russianpost.ru/rp/servise/ru/home/postuslug/trackingpo) and find out where your shipment is now
Step 4
If the terms offered by the mail do not suit you, you can contact the EMS company, which specializes in express shipments. Experts are ready to deliver your things in a very short time, but the cost of their services is quite high. Sending cargo to the UK weighing up to 100 grams - 1395 rubles, up to 500 grams - 1585 rubles, up to 1 kilogram - 1785, up to 1.5 kilograms - 2005 and so on. A package of 5 kilograms will cost about 3120 rubles, 10 - 4060.
Step 5
If you need to ship something really fast, contact this company. You can pay for services either by mail, or by bank transfer, or upon receipt (the latter is possible only upon concluding an agreement with EMS). It is obvious that EMS charges a lot more mail for sending. However, the comparison in terms of time is on her side. Your belongings will reach the UK in 2-4 days.
Step 6
There is another way to send a parcel, although it is the cheapest, but not entirely legal. This is an "on-the-fly" dispatch - with a sightseeing bus, with a friend who is flying there on a business trip. Some bus drivers and truckers earn money in this way and charge about £ 1 per kilogram for their service. True, no one guarantees you the safety of things and, in general, that they will be delivered. Therefore, it is better to use such sending only if you have acquaintances or recommendations.
