Russian Post gets quite a few gripes… all too often, letters and parcels are delivered late, if not lost. Meanwhile, the volume of shipments constantly increases, especially with the end of summer and the approach of the New Year holidays. in an interview with the Prime news service correspondent Tatiana Belyakova, Aleksandr Timofeyev, the head of Organisation for Production Processes for Russian Post, told how the post office is preparing for the “high” season, the problems this causes, and how they plan to address them.

Editor’s Note:
In Russia, the post office still has a monopoly on parcel post… that’s as it should be. UPS and FedEx are commercial buccaneers… we need to close them down. You see, these commercial bloodsuckers only deliver to “profitable” areas. Previously, the US Post Office used profits from “profitable” areas to subsidise delivery service to more inaccessible regions. Nowadays, those monies are going into the pockets of greedy soulless and godless investors, not to help the common good. That’s why we need to shut down UPS and FedEx and return parcel delivery to the Post Office… they’re leeches on society and sucking out money that doesn’t belong to McMansion filth. It’s quite that simple…

Today, DNR Minister of Communications Viktor Yatsenko told a news conference that Donbass Post will be able arrange delivery of commercial items to the Russian Federation in October 2015, saying, “We reformed some of our postal structures, so, we’re preparing new procedures in the monetisation of services. Therefore, in October, we’ll be a reliable postal delivery partner for commercial purposes, not only in the DNR and the LNR, but in the Russian Federation, too. Our introduction of services for commercial deliveries in the Russian Federation will show that Donbass Post is a highly automated concern with modern computer technology, meeting all the standards of the modern logistics market. Introducing new delivery destinations for Donbass Post can only ease uncertainty about the status of our Republic”. From March 2015, the DNR created postal links with the neighbouring LNR. Earlier, a decree of DNR Chairman of the Government A V Zakharchenko founded Donbass Post at the beginning of December 2014.
