The Italian Post is considered one of the oldest in the world. The idea of its creation belongs to Emperor Augustus, who in ancient times founded a public state system mail - cursus publicus. The modern format of this service appeared in the second half of the 19th century after the unification of the Italian state.
History reference
You can track the history of Italian mail since ancient Rome:
- On the initial stage for private and government purposes, special stations were used, between which messengers ran. A little later, Emperor Augustus created an extensive network of "cursus publicus", which performed the function of providing communications in the state.
- In the Middle Ages, the courier service was represented by traveling monks. Corporations of professional messengers began to appear at universities. In the XII-XIII centuries, messengers from the universities of Naples, Bologna, and Salerno were held in high esteem.
- In the 15th century, representatives of the Taxis family from the city of Bergamo attempted to create the first full-fledged postal service. The main message delivery route was Brussels-Vienna-Italy.
- In 1850, Count Camillo Cavour made a proposal to reform the postal service in the image and likeness of other European countries. The reform began to be implemented already in 1851.
- In October 1874, Italy signed the Universal Postal Convention. In 1917, it was the Italian postal service that issued the world's first airmail stamp.
The modern post office is a symbiosis of post office, bank and shop.

Italian Post is the state postal service of Italy, which provides delivery of international mail and domestic correspondence for individuals and legal entities. It also provides express mail service and delivers EMS items. Poste Italiane's EMS shipping rates will be higher, but it's justified high speed delivery.
As a member of the Universal Postal Union, the Italian Post carries out its activities in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates the international postal exchange between members. An essential provision of this regulation is the ban on the transport of certain items; the Italian Post has no right to send such parcels. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous goods, counterfeit and pirated products, objects of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.
What tracking numbers does Italy Post use?
Parcels and courier delivery are sent with a Poste Italiane tracking number, which can be used to see how the package is moving. The sender may not register small packages and letters, then he will not have a track number.
The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric series:
- RT123456785IT - small package from Italy;
- CA123456785IT - parcel from Italy;
- EE123456785IT - Express shipment from Italy.
The first letter R indicates that the small package is registered, the letter C will be for the parcel, EMC mail starts with the Latin E. The numbers guarantee the uniqueness of the number. But the last letters determine the country of the postal service from where the parcel was sent.
Poste Italiane tracking
The longest pause in tracking parcels from Italy occurs between import and export. In order not to worry about your shipment and imagine where the package is in this moment, you can track the Poste Italiane shipments on the site with a Russian translation of all tracking statuses.
The sender can receive a track number for tracking Poste Italiane mail at the time of registration at the post office. Or register the parcel remotely. But we must remember that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender will send the parcel. In the first case, the physical transfer of the shipment occurs immediately, so information about the number of the mailing is entered into the tracking system very quickly and the recipient can immediately see the status of acceptance of the IGO for shipment.
To track your package, you need to follow a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track the postal item"
3. Click on the "Track package" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the last status.
6. Estimated delivery period, displayed in the track code information.
Try it, it's not hard ;)
If you do not understand the movement between postal companies, click on the link with the text "Group by companies", which is located under the tracking statuses.
If there are any difficulties with the statuses on English language, click on the link with the text "Translate to Russian", which is located under the tracking statuses.
Carefully read the "Track code information" block, where you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.
If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame, with the heading "Pay Attention!", Carefully read everything that is written in it.
In these information blocks, you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.
If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case, tracking parcels becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived at Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.
To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery deadlines calculator"
If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, and the parcel travels for more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and therefore they are misleading.
If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the parcel status is "the item pre-advised" / "E-mail notification received" does not change for several days, this is normal, you can read more by clicking on the link: .
If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail.
If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and new package rides for more than a month, this is normal, because. parcels go by different routes, different ways, can wait for sending by plane 1 day, or maybe a week.
If the package is out of sorting center, there are no customs, an intermediate point and new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries a parcel from one city to your home. For it to appear new status, the parcel must arrive, unload, be scanned, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.
If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Acceptance / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see the transcript of the main statuses of international mail:
If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.
If, based on the above, you did not understand anything, read this instruction again, and again, until complete enlightenment;)
At the moment, in China and around the world, the coronavirus is actively spreading, for this reason, air exchange and delivery are severely limited. parcels are coming slower than usual, but as of March 1, 2020, mail exchanges with none of the countries are (completely) suspended.
Do not worry if the status of the mailing / order does not change for 1-2 weeks and is in the state:
- Treatment
- Awaiting shipment
- Sent to destination country
- Export / Export international mail
- Import / Import international mail
While the protection is in effect, wait and don't worry, if the order is not in a hurry, you can even extend the protection period.
Keep track of the order protection counter, and if the package has not arrived within the time specified in the order details, extend the protection period or open a dispute.
