After sending a package, it sometimes seems like an eternity passes before it reaches the addressee. What is MMPO? This is one of the many statuses of the parcel being in transit. When tracking a parcel, which, fortunately, is now possible to produce, sometimes incomprehensible statuses will be displayed on different sites and applications.

How to track a parcel in Russia?
It's easy to track the parcel across the territory of Russia. To do this, you need to know the track number of the parcel. It is issued by mail. With a track number, you can go online and find sites that track mail.
Thus, the parcel can be tracked even without registration. Registration does provide some benefits. For example, it will be possible to receive SMS notifications or download a program to a smartphone, which will allow you not to think about how the package moves and not to look at its route on the Internet every day. For example, after sending a parcel from Moscow to another country, the parcel may end up in Vnukovo. This MMPO has workshop 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Even to such trifles, you can track the package.
Tracking the parcel on the territory of another country
When the parcel crosses the border of Russia, itlocation can be tracked using the appropriate programs. These programs work in a similar way to how mail is tracked in Russia.
For example, if the parcel was sent to Kazakhstan, after crossing the border, you can go to the Kazakh post website and track it. In the CIS countries, most sites have a Russian-language counterpart, so there should not be a language problem.
As for the far abroad, in this case, too, smart Russian-speaking programmers created and launched sites on the Internet with online programs that allow you to track the package in Russian. Finding them is easy - just enter a query in the search bar of a search engine such as Google, Yandex, etc.
Reviews from Russian Post customers
There are legends about the Russian Post organization. Namely, her negligent attitude to work, eternal delays, damage and even loss of parcels and letters. Also, according to Russian Post users, it is difficult to find out something intelligible using the help desk phones.
You can also use e-mail for information. But this is also quite problematic. Thus, intelligible explanations from the employees of the Russian Post should not be expected. MMPO in Vnukovo was popularly called the "black hole", and this, unfortunately, is not an exaggeration. They also complain about the long passage of one point, where the parcel may be delayed for several days.
