Differences between TREK number and ID

Numbers that carry the same meaning of their belonging, have some differences. So, TREK-number consists of 13 characters. The first and last two characters are in Latin letters. The first two Latin letters indicate the parcel itself (the size of hand luggage, the method of departure, the possibility of tracking, etc.). The last two Latin letters are the sender's country.

TREK-number is indicated on the check if you are the sender. If you are the recipient of the purchased goods, then the number can be seen on your trading platform in any online store, or the seller will send an e-mail message. Sometimes sellers do not provide such a service, if only to ask for the number of packed and sent hand luggage.

Bthe Russian designation is much simpler. Parcels sent within the country are assigned a 14-digit code. The first six digits indicate the assigned number of the post office where hand luggage was checked in.
