Markets and Russian Post are discussing a possible alternative to infrastructure payment of 0.5% of turnover. The collection of 28 billion rubles a year can be replaced by the mandatory services of the Post for online stores.
Negotiations are not easy: representatives of online sites are not satisfied with the approach in which they can be forced to pay a competitor. Vedomosti learned that the parties must reach a common decision after consultations to be held in September.
The head of “Infoline-analytics” Mikhail Burmistrov called the percentage of turnover “the worst story that can be in principle.” It would be more profitable for the markets to use the operator’s delivery capabilities in remote areas, Burmistrov said.
“Correos” can offer its services in cross-border trade, he says. The expert estimated the amount of the annual payment for Postal services in the markets at 3,000-4,000 million rubles.
- As of September 1, Russian Post will stop accepting parcels, registered letters and packages without identifying the sender. An identity document of the person will be required. Changes in the work of the mail refer to registered letters, packages and parcels. To confirm your identity, you can present a passport or, for example, a driver’s license.
