Many who have repeatedly ordered goods on such large online platforms as, and have probably encountered delivery issues. Each seller has its own well-functioning logistics scheme; some find it convenient to send goods through the familiar China Post; others prefer more exotic methods; however, today the variety of delivery methods from China surprises few people. Due to the heavy workload of local postal sorting facilities in China, sellers are increasingly mastering delivery in transit through the Baltics or Scandinavia. The first favorite transit destination for sellers on AliExpress was, after that, parcels began to be sent through, and now more and more often parcels go through Estonia. As in previous cases, delivery is carried out in transit; fortunately, Omniva-Estonia Post tracking is available for all registered mail items without exception.

Considering that the Estonian national postal service is a member of the UPU (International Postal Union), its track code has the usual form, consisting of two unique letters at the beginning, followed by a unique 9-digit number and at the very end two letters classifying postal service. For example:

RO303054584EE

The first two letters “RO” are unique, they can be absolutely anything, after which the number itself “303054584” is different for each parcel, which ensures the uniqueness of each new track code and finally “EE” indicating the Estonian postal service, the last two letters are always are unchanged for the Omniva-Estonia Post track code.

By the last two letters of the track code related to UPU (Universal Postal Union), at first glance you can always determine which postal service your parcel was sent to, since they do not always indicate correctly the postal service to which a particular parcel was sent. For example:

CN – China
SE – Sweden
FI - Finland
EE – Estonia
DE – Germany
VN – Vietnam

This list shows the main postal services that are most often used to send mail from China to residents of Russia and the CIS. It is convenient to use this method of identifying track codes if the seller indicates as the delivery service, thereby initially not indicating which postal service your parcel will be sent by.

Once we have decided on the track code, we will analyze in detail what Omniva-Estonia Post tracking is and how to use it correctly.

If after two weeks the status is not updated, and there is no information about the movement of the parcel, then the first step is to use personal messages. Usually the seller responds within 1-2 days, but there are cases when sellers simply ignore buyers, in such a situation you should immediately, thereby protecting yourself from financial losses.

Recently, combined delivery methods have become increasingly common, which have not bypassed the Estonian postal service. Now the Chinese, using the example of , have begun issuing UPU format track codes, parcels with which are in transit through Estonia, but the first part of the journey is delivered by Chinese or Yanwen, this type of delivery is called SF eParcel.

Therefore, if you see from the track code that the parcel will transit through Estonia, but the track code is not tracked and there are no statuses within 2 weeks from the moment it is issued, do not be lazy and check its tracking on the SF Express website or .

Such parcels usually have two track codes at once, one domestic, which is tracked without problems until exported from China, and the second international, UPU format, which begins to be tracked as soon as the parcel reaches the sorting center of the Estonian postal service and is completed at the time of delivery to the recipient.

This type of delivery has certain advantages for everyone; of course, it is cheaper for the seller, since part of the way the package is delivered by regular low-cost delivery, without the possibility of tracking, and therefore it is several times cheaper than a full-fledged registered shipment.

Based on this, the buyer gets the opportunity to buy the product a little cheaper, due to the fact that the seller saved some money on delivery, which naturally affected the final cost of the product. In addition, now any buyer on AliExpress, GearBest and more than a thousand stores can absolutely easily, thereby compensating themselves for the cost of any paid delivery.

How long does it take for an Omniva-Estonia Post parcel to arrive?

In order to understand the process of transit delivery from China to Russia via Estonia, let’s look at the main points in more detail. The delivery principle is approximately as follows:

The seller registers the track code with his local post office in China
Hands over the parcel to the courier
The parcel is processed by the local post office in China
Flies to Estonia
Processed at the Estonian Post Office
Flies to destination country

Ultimately, the speed of delivery depends on your location, if you live in the central part of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, then this method is most relevant for you, and if you live in the Far East, then it is better not to use this type of delivery, since The timing may shift significantly upward.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -184100-2", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-184100-2", horizontalAlign: false, async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script "); s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

If you enter the tracking number in the search bar and click on the “Find by track number” button.

Estonian Post is the national postal operator of Estonia, providing mail forwarding services both within the country and abroad. In addition to standard delivery, we also provide courier delivery. As a member of the EMS cooperative, Estonian Post is the designated operator for the delivery of EMS items.

We can list two types of general prohibitions and restrictions that are characteristic of all postal services: by weight and size and by content. The official Omniva website has all the necessary information. The available types of shipments, as well as possible restrictions on the shipment of goods, also depend on the recipient’s country.

What are the Omniva tracking numbers?

Postal items come in two categories and the main criterion for separation is the weight of the item: up to 2 kg – small packages, over – parcels. Shipments from Estonia up to 2 kg may not be trackable, but Estonian Post always registers parcels and fast delivery of EMS items and gives them a tracking number.

A unified track number format for registered international mail has been approved. The Omniva track number has the same appearance and consists of 13 characters:

RT123456785EE – small package from Estonia;
CA123456785EE – parcel from Estonia;
EE123456785EE – express delivery from Estonia.

The 13-digit track number is encrypted: the type of item is in the first letter, the uniqueness of the number is confirmed by the second letter and all numbers. The last two letters indicate the country of the postal service, for example RU is Russian Post, US is US Post, etc.

Omniva Postal Tracking

In order not to worry about your shipment from Estonia and roughly understand where it is currently, you can track your parcel on the website with a Russian translation of all tracking statuses.

The sender can receive a track number for tracking an Omniva postal item upon 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 item occurs immediately, so information about the number of the postal item is entered into the tracking system very quickly and the recipient can immediately see the status of acceptance of the IPO for shipment.

The post office in Estonia delivers correspondence quickly: a letter to Europe takes three days on average. How much does it cost to send a letter from Estonia abroad and where are the post offices?

Post office in Estonia works very quickly. A letter sent in the first half of the day will end up in the addressee's mailbox somewhere in Stockholm or Paris on the second or third day. A standard letter reaches Japan in 5-6 calendar days.

I received the parcel, thank you! But I couldn’t pick it up from Mist Express for more than a month, I called the operators 6 times and agreed to pick it up from the central warehouse, as a result, without my consent, they moved the parcel to the city district “to somewhere far away” and at the same time, in order to receive my parcel, I had to pay 20 UAH. ..the amount is not large, I don’t argue, but....I just really needed this package, next time with all your tricks I will write a statement against you to the police...about your frauds!

SA0********EE received in 16 days

The parcel reached Ukraine in 4 days! I spent a day at customs, and then Meest Express took over the delivery... It would be better if they transported it on oxen - they would have done it in a week! Meest Express works disgustingly. Worst delivery service in Ukraine! How can you bypass the “service” of this office with future orders?

The work of the Estonian Post, as always, is completely satisfactory. and Meest Express in Ukraine frankly surprised me with its speed and commitment. Less than 2 days passed from entering customs in Lvov to my trip to the parcel terminal in Kharkov. It would always be like this!

Surprisingly, the parcel arrived in just 14 days, and it arrived from Lviv to the delivery point in 3 days. Maybe Mist Express is correcting itself, we'll see. Everything is ok with the parcel.

CV9********EE received in 10 days

The parcel from China (June 26) arrived in Lviv in 4 days (June 29). Today, July 6th, the tracking status of the parcel has not changed for 8 days!!! (On the way - Left the intermediate point of Lviv). Since July 2, technical support has been telling lies that it is already in the Dnieper at the main warehouse (Berezinskaya, 58), and they say wait for an SMS. But it’s already July 6th and keep waiting.. Why from China to Ukraine in 4 days! And in Ukraine, this sharashka’s office cannot deliver to the parcel terminal in 8 days?! On July 6, I called the so-called “hotline” again, I said that I would come to them on Berezinskaya and pick it up, to which the consultant answered that she didn’t need a courier, he received it at 7 am and will deliver it today to the post office on Sergei Nigoyan (PrivatBank) around 11-12 noon. At 12 noon there is still no SMS, I go to the site, look at the track, and then m̶e̶e̶s̶t̶-̶e̶x̶p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶ that is, the clowns silently, without my consent, CHANGED the delivery address and put Kalinova 72 - which is at the OTHER end of the city from me and it takes 1.5 hours to get there!! And what’s more, today they work there until 14:00, and I already received the SMS at 14:24. Another question is in what form will I receive the parcel, with such mail I am already afraid for it. Under no circumstances will I use the services of this sharashka office again, I can’t call them anything else. ---- With heartbreak I drove to another area of the city again for 1.5 hours in the rain, and there I even searched on Google and couldn’t find where this “nervana” was. They handed over the package to a third party (Nirvana travel agency). Draw your own conclusions. #meest_express

SB0********EE received in 14 days

Everything is fine. I accidentally paid for my purchase twice. The seller quickly returned the money. Thank you very much for your attention. I recommend the seller.

RO4********EE received in 23 days

At the same time I ordered a parcel with delivery of Ukrainian mail and Mist Express, so Ukr mail has already received it for 5 days, and until Mist herself started swearing, no one did anything ((I won’t order through their company again! It’s better than Ukr mail (that’s crazy) I said it)

RO4********EE received in 24 days

It took a very long time. I only drove around Ukraine for a week. Only after my call they were delivered to the right place

SA0********EE received in 12 days

The packaging is just a postal bag, without any additional layers. Tracking is intermittent and not informative. The parcel did not arrive at the indicated post office, but at the delivery point located at a completely different address.

RO4********EE received in 14 days

The seller sent the parcel quickly, packed it very well, the parcel arrived without damage - five stars from me. I received the parcel from the Meest Express courier.

SA0********EE received in 22 days

The parcel was not delivered very quickly to Ukraine, the track was tracked. But having arrived in Ukraine, they received Meest Express and she immediately lay down as dead weight in Lvov and tracking stopped. Exactly a week later the parcel arrived in my city and parcel tracking started working. I have mixed feelings about the quality of delivery. The parcel is intact and delivered in 22 days

CV9********EE received in 2 days

It’s too small to arrive by Ukrposhta, but I think they stuck a Mist Express sticker on the top, indicating delivery by Ukrposhta, like at the other end of the place! Who came up with that?

CV9********EE received in 5 days

Extra track! Received in 14 days at the Privatbank parcel terminal via Meest Express Received an SMS at 17:50 and the branch is open until 18:00 I barely had time))) The package from Aliexpress Standard Shipping was tracked to Lviv! 1. received an SMS about arrival in the country 2. received an SMS about what can be received at the parcel terminal

Meest Express entrusted delivery within Ukraine to Ukrposhta. I am not satisfied with the work of Meest Express. There is no worse postal service in Ukraine (

SA0********EE received in 14 days

Super delivery! It’s a pity that such small things with a low price are delivered very quickly, but more expensive and valuable parcels take more than 40 days and it’s not a fact that they will arrive!

RO3********EE not received in 66 days

There are simply no words! I called this place a bunch of times, they only serve breakfast. Apparently the parcel was pinched! They've been moving around Kyiv for almost two months!

UL1********EE not received in 53 days

Never order from Juma. There is simply no worse service. Out of 4 parcels, 3! lost at the “export” and “preparation for shipment” stage

RO0********RU received in 6 days

The site is very informative. I often use delivery services from other European countries - I have never seen such operational clarity there! Delivery in fact was even 5 days in advance (since we had 1 day - June 24, Monday, it was a public holiday - a non-working day) Very quickly delivered and 100% intact - the parcel contained a book and even the protruding corners of the hardcover were not broken ))) Thank you.

Estonian Post is one of the official members of the Universal Postal Union. The official name of this logistics organization in Estonian is AS Eesti Post. This is a government organization that provides postal and other types of services to the population of its country.

In terms of the nature of its activities, Estonian Post differs little from Russian Post. She is engaged in sending letters and parcels, accepting orders for periodicals, helping to conclude contracts and conduct financial transactions. There are a total of 336 post offices in Estonia.

International shipments

In the summer of 2014, Eesti Post continued its development by entering the international arena under the new name Omniva (this is the name that appears on AliExpress).

Omniva includes not one enterprise, but four:

AS Eesti Post is the parent company;
AS Maksekeskus is an Estonian subsidiary;
Omniva UAB is a subsidiary in Lithuania;
Omniva SIA is a subsidiary company in Latvia.

Delivery speed

I told two Estonians a joke about how slow Estonians are. Beaten up. The next day.

Anecdotes are anecdotes, but practice shows that parcels sent by Estonian Post arrive at approximately the same time as those sent using other transport companies. The average travel time for shipments is from 20 to 45 days.

Many factors influence the speed of movement. Here is an approximate scheme for forwarding an Omniva-Estonia Post item:

The seller issues the shipment online on the Estonian Post website, registers the parcel and receives a tracking number.
Since the parcel is not yet physically located in Estonia, it has the status “Storage. Fixed time".
The parcel is sent to the intermediary country using courier services. Shipping time takes up to 20 days (usually half that).
In Estonia there is a customs office that allows parcels to pass through.
After customs, the Estonian Post transfers the shipment to the Russian Post (or other countries, depending on where the parcel is sent).

Accordingly, at any “point” there may be delays, ranging from the slowness of the Chinese seller delaying the shipment of goods, to blockages at Estonian customs and delays in moving the shipment at Russian Post.

By the way, in November 2015, AliExpress gave out $2-3 for Omniva-Estonia Post transfers to users awaiting shipment. In connection with what this was done is still not clear, but what is known for sure is that a few days after this there was an official strike of Estonian postal workers. It is quite possible that these events are not interrelated. However, all buyers received their parcels with a real delay.

Package Tracking

It's easy to track your parcel at or at . Note that this is the best way to find out the movement of a shipment in one place - from the beginning of the journey to receipt by the user.

However, if you wish, you can contact. However, display on Omniva Estonia Post will begin only after the parcel will reach the borders of Estonia.

Interim statuses until the parcel is delivered will not arrive in Estonia, can be viewed on a special one. Please note that this service provides not only the status of the parcel’s movement, but also all information about it: weight, recipient’s address, etc.

By the way, since this logistics organization works very closely with AliExpress, information about the movement of shipments is clearly displayed in the online retailer user account near the tracking number in the order card. Moreover, the display is much faster than on the Estonian Post website. On AliExpress, the total number of changing parcel statuses is twice as large as on the official resource of the transport company.

Tracking codes are issued by this logistics company in an international format. This means that the shipment can be tracked both in China and in Russia (the recipient's country). The only thing is that on the Omniva Estonia Post website, parcel movement statuses will be displayed with a slight delay.

Items sent via Estonian Post are divided into two types:

registered (they can be tracked along the entire path of movement);
unregistered (cannot be tracked).

In both cases the seller will issue thirteen characters tracking number, but only the registered one will be tracked throughout the entire travel route.

You can find out that the shipment is being registered by the type of tracking number:

R*………EE – corresponds to small packages weighing up to 2 kg;
C*………EE– corresponds to parcels weighing from 2 to 20 kg.

Instead of *, any letter of the Latin alphabet from A to Z is displayed. The last two characters in the number - EE - determine the country of departure, that is, Estonia.
