Is Russian Postal System reliable?

Question by Richelieu: Is Russian Postal System reliable? I need to send a letter from Moscow to Vladivostok.?
Is it alright to post it as regular mail and not registered?
I have used the Russian Post for foreign destinations. I don’t know about domestic mail. Can you please tell me your experience.

Domestic mail is also all right. If you send a letter with notification than it’s reliable. You can kind of track it at your local post office and find out whether recipient got it or not. Just ask people there about the most reliable way of sending the mail.

    It should be fine. Many improvements continue to be made to the Russian postal service and it is usually fast and very dependable. Often foreign letters take longer or get delayed if they are not in Russian or if not addressed in the format of normal Russian mail.

    If it's important to you that your letter arrives reliably, then you already know the answer — send REGISTERED. This service is specifically intended for the extra peace of mind, and it's not very expensive in Russia.

    As long as you are mailing within Russia, it should be ok. Before I tried to send mail from USA to Vladivostok, and she never received anything. Later I was told that people that worked in the Russian postal service would see the return address from USA and would think maybe I'm sending money, so someone would steal it. But within Russia, I think you should be fine.
