SF Express AM tracking in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus in Russian. Arrived at the distribution center at the place of delivery - what does this mean? What does it mean that the order has arrived at the distribution center

Tracking postal parcels sent by AliExpress sellers from China is not very interesting. And first of all, the lack of interest is explained by the incomprehensibility of the status of international shipments.

Let's figure out what is meant by the incomprehensible inscriptions on sites for tracking IPO (international postal mail) tracking codes.

Parcel information received

AliExpress sellers often register parcels using an electronic service. Therefore, receiving a tracking code on the order card does not indicate that the item is already with the postal carrier.

If the parcel has not yet arrived at the logistics company’s branch, but it has already been registered by the sender electronically, the status when tracking it will indicate that “Information received” about it. Sometimes it can take up to 7 days from the moment the parcel is registered until it actually arrives at the post office in China.

You can find information about tracking numbers on our website.

Parcel accepted

Another option: "Reception".

As soon as the seller or courier delivers the parcel to the logistics service, fills out all the necessary documents, including the customs declaration, the status of the shipment changes to “Reception”. For additional information, you can find out about the time and place of reception in the sender's country.

Left the parcel collection point

This means everything is fine - the shipment has begun its long journey to Russia.

On my way

Shipments are periodically registered at intermediate points - sorting centers. At such postal hubs, parcels can be reloaded from one type of transport to another; in general, they are distributed along optimal main routes. Using such “control” points, the recipient can receive information that his order is still moving in the direction of Russia.

Arrival at MMPO

At MMPO (places of international postal exchange), items undergo customs procedures, inspection and registration, they are prepared for export from the sender's country. It is here that the dispatch (postal items grouped in boxes or large bags) is formed, intended for the MMPO of the recipient country.

Export

The “Export” status is assigned to shipments that have already been transferred to the carrier for delivery to the destination country. When sending goods from China, this status when tracking orders usually does not change for a long time. This is explained simply: when sending international shipments from China or Singapore, it is necessary to fill airplanes with a carrying capacity of 50 to 100 tons with mail.

There are other reasons for delays, for example, transit routes of flights, which imply the presence of one or more intermediate points during the flight. In each of them there will be delays in unloading/loading parcels.

During the Export process, the parcel will not be tracked.

It is believed that export takes 1-2 weeks, but it happens that the procedure takes up to 2 months. Although there is a recommendation, if this process is delayed, to submit an application to search for the parcel. If you order from AliExpress, you need to ask the seller to sort out the situation. You will either get your money back or extend the Buyer Protection Period in order to still find your lost items.

Import

This status appears only when the shipment is registered by the postal operator in the MMPO in the country of destination, that is, at the place of international postal exchange already on the territory of Russia.

Boxes (bags) with many parcels from the transit section of the aviation department are sent to MMPO. About a day after arrival at the center, the containers are opened and all shipments are registered, which is displayed on websites for tracking tracking codes. By the way, international parcels arriving in Russia are already expected at the centers - information about them is received before arrival from the country of departure.

There are MMPOs in Moscow, Vladivostok, Orenburg, St. Petersburg, Bryansk, Kaliningrad, Samara, Petrozavodsk and other cities. The choice of the city where the parcel will arrive depends on which flight was best to send it from China, as well as on the degree of congestion at the MMPO.

Sometimes it seems more logical to send a parcel to Moscow for a Moscow recipient, but it is sent to Bryansk, and then transported by land to the destination city. And, perhaps, the order will reach the recipient faster, due to the periodically low throughput of the Moscow center.

Transferred to customs

After registration with the MMPO, parcels are transferred for processing to the Federal Customs Service. They then go through customs transit, which means they are packaged by type and transferred to a specific location. All shipments pass through an X-ray machine, where an operator views their contents. By the way, dogs also work at customs - they sniff each parcel for drugs or spice.

If at least some suspicion arises, the parcels are opened by the operator in the presence of the responsible person - a customs officer. Reasons for opening:

• availability (although it is not clear how an X-ray can be used to determine that the parcel contains counterfeit products);
• assumption that goods for commercial use are present (for example, a batch of nail polishes);
• suspicion that prohibited goods are being sent (weapons, drugs, chemicals, plant seeds, etc.).

If the parcel has been opened, an inspection certificate will be attached to it. Two operators work with one customs officer. Customs performs its functions around the clock.

Detained by customs

One of the most unpleasant statuses.

Real people work at customs, not robots, so they carefully look at information about the goods being sent. The low cost of assessing the MPO, if there is a smartphone inside, will immediately lead to suspicions that the seller is trying to deceive customs. The same thing, if there is simply no information about the shipment, such packages are often opened at customs.

Customs officers know how to use the Internet, so they can manually check the real cost of the goods, perhaps using the information on the MPO, in which store it was purchased.

Another very important point: it is checked whether the purchases made by the same person have not exceeded the limit set so far at 1000 euros. The weight limit of the goods is also taken into account; it should not exceed 31 kg. If the limits are exceeded, then a customs receipt order is attached to the parcel for payment of 30% of the value of the goods. You can receive a shipment at Russian Post only after paying the customs fee.

All of the above explains why goods periodically get stuck at customs: FCS employees need time to unpack suspicious goods, check the real value and other procedures.

Issued by customs

After inspection by the customs service, the items are sent to Russian Post for further forwarding to the recipient. Where exactly the MPO is located at the moment can be found out from the post office index, which is written next to the next status of the item.

From the moment of transfer to the postal service, you can approximately calculate the time of arrival of the order, taking into account the average delivery time of items across Russia.

Arrived at the sorting center

Traveling across Russia, parcels pass through numerous sorting centers, where optimal main routes are determined. Numerous items are sorted and sealed in large boxes to prevent damage and loss.

The speed of sending MPO across the territory of the Russian Federation is determined by many factors, including such as:

• travel by land or air;
• frequency of flights towards the destination city;
• the degree of load on mail planes (if the load limit is exceeded, the item waits for the next flight);
• other.

There may be more than one sorting center along the route. After the MPO is registered at the regional sorting center, you can safely wait for the parcel for 1-2 days. And you don’t have to wait for a notification in your mailbox. By presenting your documents and tracking number at the post office, you can ask to check whether the shipment has arrived. In any case, there are slight delays on tracking sites, including due to the fact that local postal operators may delay the registration of newly arrived mail at the office.

Submission

Sometimes parcels are sent to the wrong place at sorting centers. Another option is that the AliExpress seller confuses something when writing the recipient’s address. The incorrect index has the strongest effect, but the name of the city, region, and the addressee's last name do not have much influence.

After the MPO arrives at the wrong address, post office operators issue a “Forward” coupon and send the mail to the addressee. This is not terrible, but it greatly lengthens the travel time of items.

Came to the place of delivery

After local post office employees register the MPO, they issue a notice, which the postman will take to the addressee's mailbox. The presence of this notification speeds up the process of receiving the parcel.

If there is no notice (for example, the recipient did not wait for the postman after seeing the status change on the tracking website), then the post office operator will print it again. You need to have documents and tracking code with you.

Parcel delivered

Another option: “Deliver to the addressee.”

The parcel was issued to the recipient at the post office indicated in the status.

You can track your parcels either on or in, which is installed in the browser. Take advantage of a convenient tool that allows you to control the movement of your orders from the moment they are sent from China until they are received.

Friends! Please tell me!

If The parcel left the sorting center in my city on 03/05/13 at 9 am. Can I safely go with my passport and documents with my address (which I requested from the seller) to receive my parcel the next morning? Or sit on your butt straight and wait for a status update?
The parcel was sent by regular Russian Post.

What does the status “Left the sorting center” mean?

The “Left Sorting Center” status in tracking postal items means that your shipment has been scanned at the sorting center in your city and is being prepared for loading onto a vehicle that will deliver it directly to the post office (place of delivery). Those. this status does not yet mean that the parcel has physically left the sorting center. But, as a rule, the parcel still leaves the sorting center on the day this status appears and must be delivered to the post office on the same day.

When can I receive a parcel if the status is “Left the sorting center” in my city?

It all depends on the practice of your post office. Formally, you can (without waiting for a notification or the status “Arrived at the place of delivery”) go to the post office the next day and present the tracking number of the parcel there. In the vast majority of cases, your shipment is already physically at the post office.

But there are several nuances here:

1) Physically, the parcel may already be in the software, but it has not yet been processed and its number has not been entered into the Russian Post accounting program. Those. software workers simply will not find your shipment in the database. That. it all depends on the speed of processing incoming mail in your software.

2) The Russian Post database is not updated online. Updates occur 2-3 times a day. Therefore, it may turn out that your shipment has already been accepted and processed in the software, entered into the database, but the database has not been updated. Those. The parcel is already ready for delivery, but you still do not see the corresponding status.

Considering what was written above, it is best to go to the post office only when you already see the status “Arrived at the place of delivery”.

Greetings!

Every year the popularity of online shopping is only increasing. This is facilitated by both lingering problems in the economy and, in general, increased confidence in purchasing goods via the Internet. The most conservative citizens, who previously bought things and devices only in stores, now make online purchases without undue fear.

In this regard, related questions are increasingly arising that are directly related to tracking the movement of ordered goods.

One of these issues is the status of the parcel “Arrived at the distribution center at the place of delivery,” which we will talk about in this material and tell you what it means and what further actions need to be taken when it appears.

Decoding the status of the parcel's arrival at the distribution center according to the delivery dream

Most parcels, as we know, have an international tracking number, which allows you to track the movement of the parcel in order to be aware of what part of the journey it is on and when it will arrive at the awaiting recipient. This process is accompanied by a change in the corresponding statuses, one of which will be “Arrived at the distribution center at the place of delivery”.

This status means that the parcel is located in your city, but at the central distribution point. From this point it will go to the post office that serves your area. This can take several hours or a day. It all depends on the efficiency of the central distribution point for letters and parcels in a particular city.

All you have to do is wait for a notification from the mail. This could be a notification in the mailbox, an SMS message or a call. In some cases, you may not be notified promptly, then take documents that confirm your identity and go to the post office in your area. There, present the parcel track and receive the long-awaited goods.

After this, the parcel status should change to option “Located at the pick-up point. Delivered".

Problems that a person waiting for his parcel may encounter

If the delivery address contains incorrect data, the parcel may be delayed at intermediate points so that the operator can manually determine the true path of the parcel and accordingly send it along the required route.

This process may be accompanied by the status "Undelivered".

In order to clarify the more precise location of your parcel, you should use the appropriate service. This can be either a service that is on the official website of the Russian Post or.

Other problems may also arise when receiving the desired parcel. Based on the status, you see that the parcel has arrived at your post office, but upon arrival there you are told that your parcel is not there and are asked to go home and wait for a notification or call.

This is where the human factor most often comes into play. Busy employees in the department that serve your area simply did not have time to sort out the next incoming batch of letters and parcels and enter each item into their local database.

In this situation, you can do the following:

• You can write an application to search for the parcel. But it is recommended to do this if the status of your parcel has not changed for a long time and the department staff cannot tell where your parcel is.
• You can also open a dispute due to non-delivery of the ordered goods. After all, if the buyer protection period expires, you will no longer be able to file a claim. This is especially true for the Aliexpress trading platform.
• If the item you ordered is miniature, it is quite possible that it was dropped directly into the box by the postman. This principle of “delivery” of parcels is practiced in many regions.
• Statuses that change during the movement of the parcel are set both by the automated postal system and manually by the postal operator. And if you see that the status of the parcel does not change for a long time, or you received your parcel in your hands, but the status "Delivered" it has not been transferred, then you can contact the post office serving your area, having previously printed out the path of your parcel, which is displayed when checking its track, in order to understand the current situation.

Other statuses that you can observe while the parcel is moving

Regardless of whether you often order goods from online stores, or have resorted to this activity for the first time, it would be a good idea to learn about other intermediate statuses that you can see when checking the movement of a lice parcel.

• “Your goods have reached the transit point (opening)”– This status means that your parcel is passing the next transit point. There can be several of these statuses. In this way, it is delivered to a point from where it will ultimately be sent to the country where its recipient lives.
• "Total Export"– the parcel has reached the point where it will be combined with other parcels and sent by air or land transport to the recipient country.
• "Acceptance"– The cargo containing your parcel has been accepted. It will take some time until it is processed by the relevant services in the country.
• “Processing (arrived at MMPO)”– the parcel has arrived at the international postal exchange point. It can be combined with customs, etc. Subsequently, it will be transferred to the postal service with the appropriate status "Customs Release", most often this is Russian Post. This may take some time, so don't panic if you see your package not moving when you check its track.

It is worth especially noting that if your parcel does not have an international track, then its tracking will end at the stage of export to your country.

The status of the arrival of your parcel at the distribution center at the place of delivery is one of the main statuses that relate to your country.

However, the most important and basic status is the arrival of your parcel at the distribution center at the place of delivery. After the appearance of which you will soon be able to receive the expected purchase that you previously ordered online.

Peculiarities

What does it mean: "Left the sorting center"? This is exactly the question that Russian Post clients, all who are recipients, are asking. The sorting center is automated. It sorts letters, parcels, parcels into branches and regional post offices and processes outgoing shipments from all over the country. After the sender places the envelope in the mailbox, it is removed, sent to the post office, weighed and date stamped. The letters are then taken to a sorting center.

More than a thousand employees work at this enterprise. The center occupies twenty-nine thousand square meters in area, and is located in Podolsk (Moscow region).

Statuses

For example, the status "sorting" means that the shipment is still in the sorting center. Parcels are placed in special export bags, which are opened, sorted and repacked. The status "Arrived at the sorting center" means that the parcel has been delivered for sorting and distribution. If the item "Arrived at the place of international exchange", it is being held at customs, within the country, or awaiting shipment abroad. The designation "Left the place of international exchange" confirms the export transaction.

Identifier

If the parcel has left the sorting station, it means that it will soon reach the recipient. The shipment tracking number or postal identifier comes to the rescue. This is a unique number code that is assigned to all parcels. There is a domestic Russian track number and an international one. It is usually indicated on the receipt, which is issued after the shipment is registered. If the parcel was sent after purchasing an item in an online store, the client is sent an identifier with which you can track the shipment.

To do this, go to the Russian Post website, enter a number consisting of fourteen digits divided into semantic parts, click “OK”. After processing the information, the user will see information about the status of the shipment. If the status “Lviv. Left the sorting center” does not change for a long time, it means that the parcel is already in If the information has not been updated for a long time, the shipment may have been waiting for the recipient for a long time.

How long does it take?
