Almost all residents of the country at least once in their lives received a notification from the postal service that a package had arrived. Such notices are sent by mail, that is, you can see them in your mailbox. What does this notice indicate? What needs to be done to receive the shipment declared in the notice? Can I refuse to receive a parcel? We will consider all these issues in this article, and also tell you how to fill out a mail notification - many people face the problem of entering information correctly.
What does the mail notice indicate?
Sending a notification to the recipient is carried out by the postal service in order to inform him that a parcel is waiting for him in the corresponding department. The formation of such a notification is made a maximum of the next day by the company's employees after the corresponding item has appeared on the shelves of the post office. On the fronton the side of the form, the recipient's data and information about the parcel itself (the value declared by the sender and other parameters of the shipment, for example, the cost of delivery) are recorded. What to do with the information form?
Actions of the recipient after receiving the notification
After the person receives a notice of the parcel, he needs to do the following:
- Make sure that the notification is really intended for him - on the front side of the form there is information about the recipient (name and address).
- Fill out the form - the fields for the recipient are located on the back of the sheet; you can perform this simple task at home, or, directly, at the post office where you should receive the shipment (how to fill out the notice of the Russian post will be described later).
- Go to the post office - the address and period of work are indicated on the form itself, taking with you a passport (of the person in whose name the parcel was received) and a form.
How to fill out a mail notice?
The process of entering the recipient's data into the unified notification form (form No. 22) about the departure is quite simple, however, it causes a number of difficulties. Therefore, you should talk in more detail about how to fill out a postal notice in such a way that there are no claims against it from the postal service workers.
- Only those fields that are located under the sentence "To be filled in by the recipient" are subject to filling. This block with fields to fill is located at the very topback of the notice.
- Only two lines are required to be filled in, the rest are entered only in some cases. We are talking about the information specified in the recipient's identity card - the first two lines must be filled in with data in any case: the name of the document, its unique identifiers (series, number, date of issue), as well as the name of the department that issued the passport (subdivisions also should be indicated, despite the fact that the form does not indicate this).
- The "registered" field is filled with data only if it is a money transfer or sending a notification about the need to receive a parcel at the place of work or study.
- Also, at the bottom of the form, indicate the date when the parcel was accepted. This field does not need to be filled in in advance - if the postal employee notices that the date is not relevant, then questions may arise with the issuance of the parcel. Therefore, it is better to put down the date before going to the post office, if you are really sure that you will get there, or directly at the office. The signature on receipt should be put together with the date.
- You need to fill out the form in blue ink, by hand. Letters should be as legible as possible. Otherwise, difficulties may arise.
Is it necessary to receive a parcel?
The person to whom it is intended decides whether or not to receive the shipment. After receiving the email notification, you can simply ignore it. At the same time, do not be afraid when, after a few days in the mailboxthere will be a new form with the name "Secondary notice". It is identical in content: it contains the name “Post Notice”, number, information about the recipient, etc. If the second attempt to hand over the box intended to the recipient is unsuccessful, then the postal service initiates the return of the parcel to its sender for his own money. He, in turn, can also refuse the returned box. Then the fate of the parcel is decided - it will be sent to a special storage.
In addition, if the person whose name is written in the notice of departure is not going to receive it and the question of how to fill out the mail notice does not bother him, then you can also contact the department where this box is located and officially refuse to receive.
