In the century computer technology People write paper letters to each other less and less often. It may seem that soon such an organization as the post office will become obsolete altogether. But in reality this is far from the case. Quite often it is simply impossible to do without postage. In this article we will look at the procedure for sending a registered letter with a list of attachments. Let's also talk about how long the letter will take and how much such a service costs.
What is allowed to be put in an envelope
Before we talk about how to forward ordered letter with a description of the attachment, let's clarify what exactly is allowed to be sent in the envelope without violating the rules.
It is fundamentally wrong to think that in a postal envelope you can only send greeting card or a letter. The shipment can contain almost any paper:
- diplomas and certificates;
- passport;
- various certificates;
- contracts;
- flat paper products, cardboard frames or crafts;
- photos;
- brochures;
- magazines;
- much more.
The most important thing is that the shipment does not exceed the permitted weight:
- 100 g - on the territory of the Russian Federation;
- 2,000 g - for shipments abroad.
Often, post office employees refuse to accept letters with attachments for sending. small items, for example, jewelry. They justify this behavior by the fact that when stamps and seals are affixed, the envelope may tear. The reason for this will be the voluminous investment, and postal workers will deal with the situation. However, many of those who regularly send such things claim that it is possible to obtain consent for such an investment if you exclude explicit probing of the item. To do this, the attachment can, for example, be wrapped in thick cardboard.
We send a registered letter
Now let's talk about how you can send a registered letter and how it differs from a regular one.
- complaints;
- claims;
- notifications;
- contracts;
- requests;
- petitions;
- other official papers.
Unlike a regular letter, a registered letter is supplied with a special track number. Using it, you can, if desired, trace the departure path from one point to another. To do this you just need to go to official portal Russian Post and enter the track number in the “Tracking of shipments” section.
If you decide to send a registered letter, you can be sure that the person to whom it is addressed will receive it. Such a letter is not thrown into Mailbox. It is issued personally to the addressee upon presentation of a civil passport.
There is a fee for registered mail, and even if you have a postal envelope with a stamp, you won’t be able to simply throw such an item in a box. To do this, you need to personally visit the post office, contact an employee and inform him that you need the “Registered letter” service. A branch employee will weigh the envelope and calculate the cost of shipping. After payment, the shipment will be registered in a special journal, assigned a track number, and a special barcode will be affixed to the envelope and required quantity marks.
Why order a notification and how to issue it
Sometimes it is necessary to send a registered letter with a list of attachments and notification. This is necessary in order to find out exactly when the addressee received the envelope. To do this, a special form is attached to the letter, in which the addressee signs upon receipt of the item. After this, the notification form is detached from the letter by a postal employee and sent back to the sender.
To issue a notification, a special form F-119 is used. You can obtain it from a branch employee or download it on the Internet. This form is easy to fill out. It is enough to simply answer the questions posed. If nothing works out at all, you can ask a postal worker for help.
How to send an envelope with a description of the contents
Quite often it happens that you need to clearly record which papers were sent to the addressee. For this purpose, there is a registered letter with a list of attachments. This type of sending correspondence is considered the most reliable. Indeed, in this case, the post office takes on additional financial obligations. If your shipment, God forbid, is lost, Russian Post will be obliged to pay compensation in the amount at which you valued the letter when sending it. Such a letter is assigned a special number by which it can be tracked at any point along the route.
In order to send a so-called registered letter with a list of attachments, you will have to work a little. First of all, you need to download on the Internet or ask a post office employee for a special form marked “f-107”.
The sender fills out this form at home or directly at the branch. And he does this in duplicate. Each item indicated in the inventory is certainly evaluated. The letter is brought to the post office open and the department employee carefully checks the contents of the envelope with the list indicated in the document. Only after this does the post office employee sign and stamp each copy. The sender also leaves his autograph.
One copy of the inventory is placed inside the envelope, and the sender keeps the second. In the future, it will serve as confirmation of what exactly was put in the envelope. Now the package (envelope) can be sealed and handed over to a post office employee for processing.
Sending subtleties
And now it’s time to tell you the worst secret! Russian Post does not send registered letters with a description of the attachment. Due to their ignorance, post office customers often confuse some concepts.
An extremely valuable letter is sent with a description of the attachment. In this case, the sender fills out a special form, which was mentioned above.
Of course, you can also send a registered letter with a list of attachments. No one has the right to forbid you to do this. But you will have to make such an inventory by hand and in free form. No one will check it or pay any attention to it at all. There will be no seal or signature of a department employee on it. This means that, if necessary, you will not be able to confirm that the envelope contained exactly the documents that you said you put there.
How to fill out the inventory correctly
If you are not sure that you understand how to issue a registered letter (with a list of attachments), you can view a sample directly at the post office or in our article. This is, in general, a simple matter.
- First of all, you need to indicate the address of the recipient of the correspondence, that is, the person to whom you are writing.
- All documents placed in the envelope are entered one by one in a special field. It is advisable to indicate the name of the document, the date of its issue, number and brief content.
- The adjacent column indicates the number of documents of the same name.
- Another column is occupied by the value you declared for each security. You can set any amount here, but do not forget that it is from this figure that the state duty that you will have to pay will be calculated. So you shouldn’t value a photo of your beloved grandmother at a million.
- At the bottom is the total amount, which is obtained by adding all the numbers in the “Cost” column.
Since the inventory of attachments is filled out in two copies, it is very important that the information in them is identical letter by letter. If a discrepancy of even one letter is detected, the operator may require the document to be rewritten.
How much does it cost to send a letter?
It is almost impossible to answer this question unambiguously. The fact is that it all depends on too many factors. The shipping price is affected by:
- weight of the item;
- forwarding distance;
- delivery method;
- with notice or not;
- whether it is custom made or not;
- whether the letter has a certain value.
For letters with a description of the attachment, it is worth remembering this nuance. Such letters are called “Valuable”. This means that upon shipment you will have to pay an additional duty (insurance fee) of 4% of the declared value. So before you evaluate an investment, think carefully about whether you have enough money to pay for shipping.
By the way, if the letter is lost, the insurance fee will not be reimbursed to the sender. Only the declared value of the shipment will be returned to you.
Delivery terms
Another question that often interests citizens: As you understand, this will also require clarification. It all depends on where exactly the letter was sent. For example, delivery of correspondence within one municipality cannot exceed three working days. Well, if you are on the other side of the country, then answering the question of how long it takes for a registered letter to Russia will be quite difficult.
In any case, Russian Post has certain standards that it must adhere to. So at least find out approximate period Delivery is quite often possible from the branch operator.
There is a method for submitting a tax return (calculation) to the tax authority in the form of a taxpayer (fee payer, tax agent) postal item with a description of the attachment. Moreover, when sending a tax return (calculation) by mail on the day of her presentation The date of dispatch of the postal item with a description of the attachment is considered.
The investment inventory form according to Form 107 is used in the following cases:
- a description of the attachments in the valuable letter;
Note: For example, when sending a tax return by mail.
- a description of the contents in the parcel;
- an inventory of the contents of the parcel;
Postal item with declared value is sent to open form with a description of the attachment. In this case, the sender of a valuable letter, parcel or parcel is required to fill out two forms inventory of attachments f.107, which indicates:
- name and postal address of the addressee;
- name, number of items and the amount of their assessment.
The sender of a valuable letter with a tax return must put his signature on each copy of the inventory form. If among the items sent there are items without valuation, then in the column “declared value” a dash is placed next to their name on each inventory form. At the request of the sender, the valuation of the items may not be indicated on the copy of the attachment inventory included in the mail item.
When the inventory forms according to Form 107 are completed, the postal worker is obliged to:
- compare entries in both copies of the inventory;
- compare the correspondence of the address and the name of the addressee indicated in the inventory and on the address side of the shell (address label) of the registered postal item (RPO);
- compare the items being sent with the entries in the inventory;
- check the compliance of the total value of investments indicated in the inventory with the amount of the declared value of the RPO. The amount of the declared value of the RPO must be equal to the total value of all investments indicated in the inventory;
- put a calendar stamp on both copies of the inventory and sign them;
- insert the first copy of the inventory on top of the attachment in the RPO and pack it, give the second copy to the sender along with the receipt.
If you send a parcel with a list of the contents of the parcels, as well as according to the RPO with a declared value, handed over legal entities, a fee will apply.
The sender determines the value of each item independently. The cost of the inventory items affects the amount of compensation in case of loss of the shipment, but the higher the cost of the items, the higher the cost of the shipping insurance fee will be. The sum of items can be made zero by placing a dash.
