Moscow ASC logistics workshop: a registered letter has arrived. What does the stamp ASC-DTI for registered mail mean?

Facebook

A regular mailbox is traditionally used to receive various correspondence. Unfortunately, it is often filled with various advertising offers that are unnecessary for a person, some of which can be formatted in the form of a regular letter. Therefore, it is not surprising that many mailbox owners are extremely wary of notifications from addresses they are unfamiliar with. For example, some people began to report that they had received a registered letter, the sender of which was some Moscow ASC logistics workshop.

Naturally, several questions immediately arise:

What kind of organization is this?
Is such a letter so important that you need to go to the required branch of the Russian Post to receive it?

These questions should be answered in detail.

What kind of institution is this and why does it send letters to a person?

In the very name of the organization, Moscow ASC Logistics Workshop, there is only one abbreviation - “ASC”. It stands for "Automatic Sorting Center". The goal of this organization is to relieve the workload of employees of the country’s regular postal services by redirecting part of the correspondence through the new logistics workshop.

Sometimes you can find another abbreviation in the name - “DTI”, which means “additional technical index.

More recently, this particular service began to be used for sending various special correspondence. First of all, from various government bodies.

Before answering the second question, it is important to understand what exactly such registered letters may contain.

What exactly can such an organization send?

So, we figured out what this institution means. And why does it engage in such activities? It remains to understand what exactly such letters may contain.

As already written above, the overwhelming majority of correspondence sent through this service is sent to a person from one of the government agencies. That is, it may contain:

Notification of the need to pay a fine for violating traffic rules.
Any other court order.
An activation code intended for access to your personal account on the pages of one of the state Internet portals.
Reminder notifications about the need to pay one of the debts, primarily credit.
Proposals for debt restructuring or a program for more comfortable repayment.

Various advertising or commercial offers may also be received through this service.

It is important to note that such activities do not require the recipient to make any payments for receiving what was sent to him. Especially if someone brought a notice to a person at his residence address and demands money for its delivery, just call the nearest branch of the Russian Post to resolve this issue.

In addition, the recipient has the opportunity to find out who exactly sent him the letter. To do this you need:

Go to the official resource of the Russian postal service;
Find search string;
Enter fourteen numbers into it, which can be seen under the barcode on the notification.

The result of these actions will be the information the citizen needs.

Is it necessary to receive such letters?

So, most of the incoming information is sent in this way by one of the government agencies of the Russian Federation. Of course, you can ignore it and not visit the post office. Where it leads? To the following results:

The letter will be stored for exactly one month;
Then it will be returned to the sender.

And here there is one very important point - it is assumed that the recipient of such correspondence has become familiar with its contents! That is, if there was any court decision in it, and a person decided not to receive it, this does not mean at all that he will not have to fulfill it!

Therefore, it is recommended, after all, to visit the Russian Post Office, spending very little of your personal time. Moreover, there is a rather impressive period for receipt - as much as thirty days from the moment the notice is in the box.

How to get

This question is quite simple. You can go on your own. To receive it, you will need to provide an identification document and the notice itself. As an option, you can send a relative if he has the same last name. If the recipient does not have the opportunity to visit the post office for some reason, and he does not have “same-name” relatives, then the way out of the situation will be to issue a power of attorney for such a person.

Many of our readers find in their mailboxes a notice of a registered letter, in which the sender is the unknown “Moscow ASC Logistics Workshop”. What kind of institution this is and what could be in such a registered letter is a mystery to many. Therefore, people turn to search resources to obtain the necessary background information. Below I will explain what kind of Moscow ASC logistics workshop this is, and I will also explain what to do when receiving such a letter.

The full name of the “Moscow ASC” is “Moscow Automatic Sorting Center”. This is one of the largest automated postal centers in Europe, designed to automatically sort incoming mail and then send it to the appropriate post office. The Moscow ASC serves Moscow and the regions closest to the capital, processes up to 3 million units of postal correspondence per day, and employs more than 900 people at its facilities.

The Center itself is located in the village of Lvovsky in the Moscow region (Podolsk), so if you hear the name “Lvov ASC” somewhere, this will mean that we are talking about the “Moscow ASC” that I consider.

The Moscow ASC has several large workshops - sorting of parcels and parcels, logistics and others, through which postal correspondence passes on its transit route to the recipient. In our case, the presence of a mention of the logistics workshop of the Moscow ACC means that our mail was processed in the logistics workshop, after which it was sent to the next transit stage.

The duration of postal correspondence at the Moscow ASC is usually 1-3 days.

The work of the Moscow ASC DTI looks something like this (amateur photography):

The odious glory of the sorting center

Moscow ASC is one of several large sorting centers available in the Russian Federation. Nevertheless, this center gained its “popularity” not due to its efficiency and speed of processing correspondence, but due to the regular mail losses that occur in this center. Parcels arriving at the Moscow ASC not only hang there for a certain time (they can stay for 10-20-30 days), but also completely disappear from the screens of many network trackers.

When the recipient (sender) submits an application to search for the parcel (at the local branch of Russian Post), the applicant may receive a written response about the “loss” of his postal correspondence. This means that the parcel was probably stolen or its contents were significantly damaged during sorting or delivery to the recipient, making it impossible to receive such a parcel.

Most often, parcels containing quite expensive mobile electronics (smartphones, tablets) are “lost” (stolen). Such parcels simply do not find their recipient, after which he opens a dispute with the seller. The latter has no choice but to return the money for the goods lost in transit, which were never received by the receiving party.

In some cases, only an official complaint to Roskomnadzor helped to return a package lost in transit.

There is unconfirmed information that employees of the Moscow ASC, through such thefts, compensate for their low salaries and the enormous workload that falls on them when working in such a sorting center.

What is happening at the Moscow ASC causes massive anger among Russian Post clients, expressed in many complaints and public petitions asking to investigate the current situation at the Moscow ASC.

What does Moscow ASC DTI mean in writing?

After we have figured out what the Moscow ASC Logistics Workshop is, we will also deal with the abbreviation DTI, which is incomprehensible to many, often contained on such a mail notification. In some cases, a notification of a registered letter from the Moscow ASC may also contain the codification “DTI”. This abbreviation means “Additional Technology Index”, and it usually marks registered letters from any state and municipal authorities, banks and commercial companies. In particular, such a registered letter from the Moscow ASC DTI may contain:

What kind of letter arrived in the mail marked DTI?

If the notification contains a note about the Moscow ASC DTI, then in most cases you will receive a notification from some state and municipal body, which you will need to familiarize yourself with. Even if it contains any unlawful decision of state or municipal structures, you will have the opportunity to appeal it within the time limits established by law.

If you do not familiarize yourself with the contents of this letter, then, accordingly, you will not know what is being discussed, and therefore you will not be able to respond correctly to it.

Despite the fact that the notification itself usually does not contain information about the sender, it can be obtained using the Russian Post Internet resource. The notification of the availability of registered mail usually contains a 14-digit digital code under the barcode. You need to go to the Russian Post resource, and enter the specified code in a special search bar, after which you will receive detailed information about the sender of the specified message. You can also simply call the corresponding post office and ask the operator for information about the sender of the registered letter awaiting you.

Remember that a regular registered letter will wait for you for a month, but a notice from the court (summons) waits only 7 days, after which it will be sent back. It will be assumed that you have read the contents of such letter. Even if you didn’t show up for it within the time frame I gave.

Therefore, the optimal solution would be not to delay receipt, but to go to your post office and receive the letter waiting for you.

Conclusion

In most cases, a notification about a registered letter containing a footnote to the Moscow ASC logistics workshop means that this letter was sorted in the logistics department of this ASC, after which it was sent to the recipient. If the notification also contains the abbreviation DTI, this means that you have received a letter sent by some state or municipal body that you need to receive.

A notice of a registered letter with an unclear return address - Moscow ASC (and residents not only of the capital region receive it) can raise a lot of questions. Who is behind sending such letters and what information do they contain?

Moscow ASC - what is it?

The addressee will receive a registered letter in person at the post office; until the envelope is opened, he will not know what information the message carries. What does this abbreviation mean and why is it included in the sender line?

Moscow ASC is an automated sorting center of Russian Post, located in the village of Lvovsky, Podolsky district, Moscow region.

The center serves the capital and most surrounding regions. Sorting of letters in it is carried out automatically; employee intervention when processing correspondence is required in cases where the address and postcode do not match each other or are written illegibly.

The automated center processes up to 3 million pieces of mail per day; this ASC accounts for up to a quarter of the country’s total postal turnover. If the notification indicates the Moscow ASC logistics workshop, the registered letter was processed at an automated sorting center near Podolsk before sending.

The second large ASC in Russia is located in St. Petersburg; up to 2 million letters, parcels and parcels pass through it every day. The stamp “St. Petersburg ASC” will appear on the notification of a registered letter sent from St. Petersburg and three neighboring regions - Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov.

Where might the letter come from?

The postal notice contains minimal information about the letter: in addition to the type of item (registered, valuable, declared value, etc.), it only indicates the processing point and the weight of the envelope. It is impossible to guess the contents from the notice, which states “Moscow ASC, registered mail, 20 g.”

Another abbreviation, which often appears next to the ASC in a postal notice, will tell you more about the nature of the message - DTI (additional technological index). Letters with an additional index are of an official nature, and their senders are government agencies or large companies:

traffic police;
The Federal Tax Service;
Pension Fund;
bailiffs;
other departments;
banks and companies.

Hence the conclusion - the sender of the correspondence can most likely be a government service if in the “from” line in the notification the abbreviation DTI is indicated along with the mark ASC logistics workshop (registered mail).

What might come in these letters?

Having found out the meaning of the abbreviations DTI and ASC - what it is on a postal notice (St. Petersburg or Moscow), the recipient may be interested in the purpose for which the addressee decided to contact him. Considering that the DTI index is assigned not only to government services, but also to companies, the envelope may contain an advertising brochure that is unnecessary for the addressee or a commercial offer that is irrelevant for him.

If the sender was a government agency, it is possible that the message contains a requirement that the recipient must fulfill:

notification to the traffic police of a fine for violating traffic rules;
warning from the Federal Tax Service about the need to pay tax;
information from the court about the date and time of the meeting at which the
the addressee is present;
requirement to comply with a government decision.

The recipient of the correspondence should be aware that if the notice indicates “Moscow ASC-DTI registered letter”, that this may be a requirement of some government agency. The addressee has the right to express disagreement with it. He has 10 days to complete this procedure.

The corresponding application must be submitted to the sending organization.
The letter may contain other important information. Thus, the Pension Fund periodically sends out reports to clients on the state of their savings.

How to check the sender on the Russian Post website?

No matter how little information the label “Moscow ASC Logistics Workshop” carries, the notice still contains the necessary details to determine the sender on the official website of Russian Post. To do this, you need to enter the postal identifier, or track number, which is assigned to each registered shipment, into the search bar in the tracking service. In the notification it is located under the barcode.

After entering the 14 digits (without spaces) that make up the track number, the user will know:

name of the authority or company that sent the message;
the progress of the movement of the postal item, the date and time when it left one or another branch of Russian Post.

In this way, the recipient will find out who is the sender of the letter marked “Moscow ASC Logistics Workshop - Registered Letter”, what it is on the postal notice and what path the letter took to its destination.

The message must be received within the specified time frame. At the post office, registered mail (except for judicial mail) is stored for 30 days; after this time, the post office employees send it to the return address. The period for receiving notice from the court is 7 days.

The infrastructure of the capital includes many government organizations working in the provision of any budget services to its residents. In Moscow there are social protection authorities, the Internal Affairs Directorate, the prosecutor's office, the water utility and many other structures, which together ensure the full life of the city. One of the most significant municipal formations can be called the Moscow Automated Sorting Center, located in the village. Lvovsky on Magistralnaya street.

This center is listed as the first to appear in Russia. The institution has a rich history. During its existence, it has significantly expanded its capacity, increased the speed of processing correspondence and its movement throughout the service area. Currently, the Moscow ASC sorts about a quarter of all correspondence in circulation. Regular, registered letters sent first class or having declared value, as well as parcels, parcels and other items are subject to processing.

The Moscow ASC for Logistics began its work in 2009. The area of the present center occupies about 29,000 sq.m. The well-known Italian company SELEX Elsag SpA, selected as a result of a competition, took an active part in the construction of the company, as well as in equipping it with sorting equipment. When creating the organization, best practices in the formation of postal infrastructure and highly efficient information technologies were used. The workshop of the Moscow ACC works on the zonal-nodal principle of mail transportation, which significantly reduces the number of processing and sorting operations, optimizes the logistics system and ensures accelerated movement of items through populated areas.

ASC Moscow: areas of work

The ASC in Moscow processes written correspondence of various types. Sorting takes place in a special machine that reads the address and index, ensuring automatic output of the letter. Incorrectly completed envelopes (with an illegible address or without an index) are processed manually.

Parcels are also sorted at the Moscow ASC. Accepted parcels are weighed and scanned, during which their barcode is determined. The high-performance machine operating here is equipped with 5 lines for loading items and 1 for large-sized parcels.

One of the center's tasks is to process unformatted written correspondence.

Address: Moscow region, Podolsk city district, Lvov microdistrict, Magistralnaya street, 7
