What does "Declared value" mean in the mail? A valuable parcel

Today many people use mail services. To receive or send a letter, a parcel is a procedure that has not lost its relevance over time. A valuable parcel, as well as a registered letter, has certain rules of departure (a list of items that are allowed to be forwarded) and allowable weight limits. You can use the services of "Russian Post" on the territory of the Russian Federation.

What is it

The declared value is a guarantee that the sent parcel will reach the recipient and its contents will be preserved. Most often, valuable packages are those in which expensive technology is invested - mobile phones, cameras, laptops, tablets. In this case, declaring the value of the shipment is a prerequisite. For valuable parcels and goods, the transport company and the post office are responsible. In addition, letters and parcels are financially protected from damage and loss.

If the delivery time of valuable items is violated or if there is a loss, damage, the sender has the right to demand compensation at the post office. Send valuable items only from the post office. They must be registered.

Value is assigned by the sender. The amount of mail workers indicates on the envelope, package or package, as well as other information. The cost is indicated in figures and in words. For sending mail charges a commission, which is four percent of the value. The EMS express shipping commission is less - only one percent. If the valuable parcel is sent by cash on delivery, it is necessary to attach an inventory.

How to send

Send a parcel of declared value to the post office. Accept parcels, packages and letters, drawn up appropriately, operators. The parcel should correspond to dimensions, weight, value and not to contain items prohibited for shipment. Before sending a package, it should be packed correctly. Most often, you can buy packaging (box, packages, envelopes) in the post office. The standard packaging has empty fields, where the recipient's address and other information about the sending should be inscribed (amount of value and cash on delivery). The data about the sender and receiver are as follows:

This is a registered parcel, which requires confirmation of the signature of the sender and the recipient after delivery to the specified address.

Letter

The declared value of a letter is a guarantee when it is lost or damaged. As with the parcel post, to send such a letter, the sender must declare its value. If the envelope is lost, the compensation will be partially reimbursed to the sender. In the post office, the letter must be registered, and the delivery should be tracked using the assigned identification number on the "Russian Post" website.

To send a valuable letter, buy an envelope of the appropriate size (maximum size 229x324 mm, according to the Russian Federation, the weight of the contents should not be more than 100 grams, abroad - up to 2 kilograms). Then give the envelope to the operator in the post office and tell me what amount of compensation for possible loss would be received.
