Almost a year ago, in the uncontrolled Ukraine part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, the Mail of Donbass began its work - an enterprise organized on the basis of Ukrposhta. The creation of such an enterprise is due to the needs of the population living on both sides of the line of demarcation. But did the Mail of Donbass patch up the resulting holes as a result of the cessation of Ukrposhta activities in the “republics”? Let's see.
Today, the work of the company "Mail of Donbass" supervises the so-called "Ministry of Communications of the DPR." Due to the non-recognition of the DPR and the LPR, the Post of Donbass enterprise is not a member of the Universal Postal Union, and therefore cannot work on international mail.
Mail correspondence is accepted only in the operator’s post offices themselves; today, letters are not taken from mailboxes. There is no official website about the activities of the enterprise established in the uncontrolled territory of the enterprise; all the necessary information should be obtained in the branches of the “Mail of Donbass”.
Information about the activities of the new mail is not so much. Basically, the company "Mail of Donbass" performs the function of an intermediary in the payment of pension benefits. Thus, according to the “republican” media in June 2015, over 1 billion rubles were paid to pensioners in the DPR through this mail system, and about 2 billion in July. The mission of distributing SIM cards of the local cellular operator Phoenix ".
As for sending letters, parcels and parcels, the "Mail of Donbass" has not advanced in this direction since last year. The main directions in which the mail can deliver is the Crimea, the territory of the Russian Federation and the unrecognized "republics". Delivery of parcels both to the territory controlled by Ukraine, and from it, today, just like a year ago, is impossible.
Tariffs for sending simple letters via affordable mail messages range from 6 to 44 rubles (2 - 15 UAH.), For sending valuable letters and wrappers from 18 to 72 rubles (6 - 24 UAH.).
Making heavier, from 5 to 30 kg. will cost the sender from 60 to 400 rubles (20 - 132 UAH). Such is the cost of delivery by post between the so-called "republics".
In contrast to the “Mail of Donbass”, a private operator, “Our Mail”, began operating on an uncontrolled territory. But, unfortunately, the radius of operation of a private enterprise is no more than a “state” one.
The cost of this kind of services also wants the best, because in comparison with the “Mail of Donbass” private owners of “Nasha Poshta” charge almost twice as much for the delivery of parcels.
So, sending up to 30 kg will cost the sender from 700 to 835 rubles (231 - 275 UAH.), And the usual package of documents up to 0.5 kg. delivered for 400 rubles (132 UAH.).
Thus, all currently existing postal operators in an uncontrolled territory cannot boast of the availability of their services to the average citizen, and the radius of postal messages is too limited to meet the needs of the population.
