Despite the rapid development of digital technologies that allow calls and send messages in real time, postal services continue to be very popular. And if there are fewer people who want to send a paper letter or a postcard, then the business of sending parcels and parcels also flourishes to this day.
Every day, thousands of people receive gifts and purchases sent by mail or courier delivery service, while the sender indicates to the carrier exactly how he wants to transfer the departure - with a parcel or a parcel. To understand how they differ from each other, let's analyze these two concepts in detail.
What is the difference between a parcel and a parcel?
Banderals serve to send small low -value objects (up to 10,000 rubles) With a lightweight. For example, documents, books or other printed products that are not even in the largest envelopes for letters. Only the first -class parcel can be sent a commodity investment. Distinguish between the parcel with the value of declared and undeclared, simple and customs.
- Simple - Those upon receipt of which the recipient does not sign any receipts, and notifications do not come to the Sender.
- Customs - Those that are necessarily registered. The sender is issued a corresponding receipt, and the recipient needs to confirm receipt with a signature.
- Valuable - When an expensive item that the sender evaluates is sent inside, and the addressee receives at the place of his residence. It is necessarily registered and in the case of loss the mail reimburses the declared value and money paid for transportation.
Parcels are preferred by those who need to send large, voluminous objects (anything but weapons, drugs, poisons, as well as cash and perishable products prohibited by current legislation).
IMPORTANT: Distinguish between parcels that are paid by cash on delivery, simple and those that are of particular value.
How are parcels and parcels sent?
As a rule, parcels are allowed to be sent by mail with the value and weight indicated by the courier delivery service. The weight frames installed for the parcel are from 100 g to 2 kg.
The maximum permissible package weight is up to 20 kg, and the most sent - up to 10 kg. Their dimensions are prescribed in the contracts of delivery services.
If the items sent in the package are fragile or brittle, then this, as a rule, also affects the cost of the carrier’s services and is packaged with special care either in the strong container container or in special boxing boxes.
Heavy premises - over 10 kg, small - up to 3 kg.
Summarizing the foregoing, you can make the following conclusions:
- a parcel is a small easy departure, which, as a rule, comes faster.
- the package is more overall, heavy, possibly - fragile departure.
