Postal transfer is relatively slow, but it is a proven way of transferring funds from one person to another. This service is provided to individuals in almost any post office.
Instructions
Step 1
Call the Almost Russia help desk at 8-800-2005-888 (free call even from a mobile phone, provided that the subscriber is in the Russian Federation) and ask your consultant for the current cost of transferring the amount you want. Name the regions of departure and destination, and also specify which transfer option you need: standard (Cyber-Money), urgent (Fast and Furious) or through the Western Union system. Please note that some types of translations are not accepted in all branches, so please state your zip code when consulting. Find out the approximate period during which the money will reach the addressee when you choose the method of transferring them.
Step 2
Ask the recipient of funds (for example, by phone or email) the last name, first name, patronymic, zip code, full address and the name of the region in which he lives. If you want to transfer money outside the Russian Federation, find out the official name of the state where the recipient lives. Also, if he wants the funds to come to the current account, find out the number of this account. In the latter case, it is important not to make a mistake in any number, otherwise the addressee will not receive anything.
Step 3
Take with you to the post office the amount you want to transfer, taking into account the cost of the service itself, as well as your passport. Arriving at the branch, first take the form for the method of transfer that you want to use, fill it out carefully and only then queue at the window where the service you need is provided. When filling out the form, do not make mistakes, especially in the account number. Correctly indicate in the appropriate fields and your own data, including passport. If there is a consultant in the room, be sure to show him the form and ask if there are any mistakes in it (you can often get advice while waiting for your turn).
Step 4
After waiting in line, first give the operator your passport and the completed form. After the operator names the amount to be paid (it will include the cost of the money transfer service), give the money, and then wait until the operator returns your passport and hands you a document confirming the receipt of money.
Step 5
After the expiration of the period that you were told during the telephone consultation, contact the addressee by phone or e-mail. Ask him if he received the funds. If they are sent not to the current account, but to the address of the place of residence, the addressee will receive a receipt. After that, he will have to come with her and his passport to the post office at his place of residence and receive the amount transferred by you there.
