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

Status "Left the sorting center" 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 issue). 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”.

In order not to make a mistake in approximate dates parcel delivery, you should know what this or that status means. On this page we will consider in detail all possible statuses so that you do not have difficulty determining the location of the parcel.

Postal statuses when tracking shipments from abroad

Reception.

This status implies that the sender has completed all the necessary forms, including Form CN22 or CN23 (customs declaration), and the parcel has been accepted by the postal or courier service. Simultaneously with receipt, the shipment is assigned an identification number, which is subsequently used for tracking.

Arrival at MMPO.

MMPO is a place of international postal exchange. At this stage, the parcel undergoes customs control and registration. After this, service employees prepare a grouped international shipment.

Export.

One of the longest periods in the delivery of postal items. This is due to the fact that sending a partially loaded plane is unprofitable, so you have to wait until there is a sufficient number of parcels heading to one country.

In addition, to optimize logistics processes, shipments can be delivered in transit through other countries, and this also delays delivery time.

It is impossible to name the exact duration of the parcel's stay in export. But on average it ranges from two weeks to one and a half months. Moreover, on the eve of the holidays, this period may further increase. But if more than two months have passed since receiving the “Export” status, and there are no changes, you should contact the postal service performing the delivery with a request to search for the shipment.

Import.

This status is assigned to the shipment at the Russian AOPP (aviation mail department), where it arrives from an airplane. Here, according to the service regulations, the parcels are weighed, the integrity of the packaging is checked, the barcode is scanned to find out the place of departure, the flight number is recorded, and it is determined to which MMPO the parcel should be sent. The length of time an international shipment stays at AOPC depends on the workload of the department and its employees, but on average it is 1-2 days.

Handed over to customs.

After sorting, the parcels are sent for customs inspection, where they go through an X-ray scanner. If customs officers suspect the illegal transportation of prohibited substances or items, the shipment is opened and inspected in the presence of an inspector and the responsible operator. After this (if the fact of transportation of prohibited goods has not been confirmed), the parcel is packed again, an inspection report is attached and sent along the route.

Detained by customs.

This status is optional. It is assigned to a shipment only in cases where customs officers identify a weight that exceeds the permissible limit, a cost of more than 1,000 euros, and other violations. In this case, the recipient will have to pay additional fees. If there are no violations of customs legislation, the parcel will bypass this status.

Customs clearance has been completed.

After receiving this status, the parcel is again transferred to the place of international postal exchange, where it is processed by the department staff. In some cases, this status may be replaced by “left MMPO”.

Arrived at the sorting center.

From MMPO the shipment arrives for sorting. There are postal sorting centers in all major cities. As a rule, the parcel is sent to the center closest to the MMPO, where logistics service employees develop the optimal delivery route to the point of issue.

Left the sorting center.

This status means that the parcel has been sent along the delivery route. The time it takes for it to arrive at the recipient depends on several factors, including traffic congestion, remoteness of the region, etc.

There are Russian Post sorting centers in all major cities.

Arrived at the sorting center of the city N.

Upon arrival in the recipient's city, the parcel is delivered to the local sorting center. From here, the goods are distributed to post offices or other order delivery points. Delivery speed is affected by: traffic congestion, weather conditions, distance. For example, delivery within the city takes no more than 1-2 days, but within the region it can take about a week.

Came to the place of delivery.

After the shipment arrives at the nearest post office, it is assigned this status. Next, postal employees are required to issue a notice and deliver it to the addressee within 1-2 days. In fact, this period may be slightly delayed, so it is better to use the “My Parcel” tracking service. As soon as you see the status “arrived at the place of delivery”, you can go to the post office. It is not necessary to wait for notification, since postal employees are required to issue the item using the identification code (tracking number). Upon receipt, you must have your passport with you.

Delivery to the addressee.

This status is assigned to the parcel after it is received by the addressee and means the end of the journey.

Domestic Russian shipments are assigned the same statuses, with the exception of those related to the customs stage and MMPO. Therefore, the information will also be useful to those who make purchases in Russian online stores or are expecting a package from loved ones living in another city or region.

Now you know the interpretation of each status and can not only determine the actual location of the parcel, but also approximately calculate the delivery time.

LM239539750CN my order did not reach the appointed place, how can I find it?

In my case, the package route from Moscow was like this:

Moscow parcel shop ->

Moscow logistics workshop ->

St. Petersburg parcel shop ->

St. Petersburg logistics workshop ->

St. Petersburg UOP district ->

My post office.

You can track the parcel's path in more detail in the picture (screenshot from the website).

If the parcel is coming from afar, then there will be quite a few such sorting centers on the route of your parcel. And the fact that when tracking (on various sites) it will be written that a notification will come that the parcel has left the sorting center, does not mean at all that your parcel will then arrive at the place of delivery (that is, your post office).

Information that the parcel has left the sorting center means that the parcel is again on the way and, perhaps, on the way to your post office, where you can then pick up the parcel.

As a person who has Lately there are a lot of things to do directly with the Russian Post, I can say that the status Left the sorting center means that the next point will be the branch where you can receive it, that is, the one to which your address is attached. The only problem may be that even after arriving at the post office, the parcel is not always immediately processed by the receiving operator, and in reality it may remain in the post office for several more days before the operator transmits a notice to the postman so that he can deliver it to your mailbox .

Sorting points are regular Russian postal points where they change the vehicles used to transport postal items. As soon as the parcel crosses the border, it is subject to customs inspection; if it raises suspicions, it may even be opened. Then she travels all the way to her final destination.

During its journey, a parcel can go a long way and visit several sorting centers. Thus, receiving a notification that a parcel has left the sorting center is already pleasant because it is being processed and it is not lost. The next point could be either the next center or the post office itself at the place of receipt.

A sorting center is a hub where all mail from your region arrives. There they are sorted, loaded into postal service vehicles and transported to departments. If the track number indicates that the shipment has left the sorting center, this means that it is already on its way to the department. At the department, the parcel is accepted, entered into the computer, and only after that the parcel is ready for delivery.

One nuance: if a day has passed since the parcel left the sorting facility, and you have not received a notification, you can, armed with a track number, safely go to the post office and demand it. It's just that postmen don't always act quickly.

How do you know if they are sent immediately to the department or to the place of delivery?

It's the same thing, simple.

It depends on which sorting center she left. Believe me, she is not alone.

For example, before my place of residence she goes through two sorting centers, plus there is also sorting in my city.

After your parcel has passed through the sorting center, it goes to customs, where it is carefully inspected for any violations. After that, she goes to her recipient's home, finally.

Usually when I track parcels from China, it (the parcel) happens everywhere. But to summarize, it travels from one sorting point to another. Ultimately, it ends up at the sorting point in my city and from there it arrives at the place of delivery. As I understand it, if the tracking says that the parcel has left the sorting point, then it is on the way (that is, in some vehicle, transporting mail).

If I send a parcel to a village, then from my post office the parcel goes to the sorting point of the city, then it goes to the central sorting point of the region where the parcel was sent, from the central one it goes to the regional center, and only then to the village.

Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in an electronic database. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered on where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.

The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. The choice of city where exactly the international shipment will arrive depends on the sender’s country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.
