Denmark Post on the website website. When added to a personal list, parcel movement is updated automatically.

Denmark Post is the state postal service of Denmark, providing delivery of international mail and domestic correspondence for individuals and legal entities. It also provides express postal services and delivers EMS items. Tariffs for EMS delivery by Danish Post will be higher, but this is justified by the high delivery speed.

As a member of the Universal Postal Union, Denmark Post operates in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates international postal exchanges between participants. An essential provision of this regulation is the prohibition on the carriage of certain items; Danish Post has no right to forward such parcels. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous goods, counterfeit and pirated products, items of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.

What are the Danish Post track 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 Denmark up to 2 kg may not be trackable, but Danish Post always registers parcels and fast delivery of EMS items and gives them a tracking number.

The Denmark Post tracking number format looks like this:

• RT123456785DK – small package from Denmark;
• CA123456785DK – parcel from Denmark;
• EE123456785DK – express shipment from Denmark.

In the structure of the track number, in accordance with the international UPU format, letters and numbers have a semantic meaning:

• The first letter R/C/E indicates the type of shipment. The Denmark Post track number starting with the letter R (Registered) is assigned to registered small packages;
• 123456785 – this digital series ensures the uniqueness of the number;
• DK – indicates the country of the postal service.

Denmark Post tracking

The Denmark Post track number allows you to check the parcel and its condition on the way. At each stage of shipment, information about movement is entered into a unified tracking system.

Using the “Receipt of shipment” status, the recipient can verify that it has been sent. Then Denmark Post parcels are sent to a sorting center for processing, where they are distributed and sent to an international postal exchange office. Denmark Post items are cleared through customs and handed over to the designated postal operator in the recipient country. This is reported by the tracking status "export". And after import, they go through approximately the same path in the recipient country. The latest tracking status notifies you when the package has been released.

To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track postal item"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" 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 latest status.
6. Forecasted delivery period is displayed in the track code information.

If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text “Group by company”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

If you have any difficulties with the statuses in English, click on the link with the text “Translate into Russian”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

Carefully read the "Track Code Information" block, there 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 destination country, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the destination country / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived in 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 Time Calculator"

If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, but the parcel takes more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and that’s why 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 status of the parcel “the item pre-advised” / “Email notification received” does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by following 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 items.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new parcel takes more than a month, this is normal, because... Parcels go on different routes, in different ways, they can wait for 1 day to be sent by plane, or maybe even a week.

If the parcel has left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who is delivering the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, 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 Reception / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can look at the breakdown 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 do not understand anything, read these instructions again, and again, until you are completely clear;)

Pre-margin period

On July 16, 1653, the service was taken over by Paul Klingenberg, who introduced many innovations, including mail carriages to transport parcels and serve Norway. Klingenberg ran the postal service until March 14, 1685, when he handed it over to Count Christian Gyldenløve, the nine-year-old son of King Christian V. In 1694, new routes and tariffs were approved. The Gyldenlöwe family controlled the postal service until 1711, when it came under state control.

In July 1915, in connection with the introduction of new postal rates, the service stamps were overprinted with a new value and the text “Danmark / Postfrim.” . These stamps were used as postage stamps.

Extra charges

Surcharge stamps were introduced in May 1921. The first eight were standard stamps from 1913-1919, overprinted with the word "Porto" (Additional charge). In June 1934, another stamp was issued with the same overprint on the standard 1926 stamp. The remaining three issues are of the original drawing. The last issue of surcharge stamps took place in November 1955.

Since 1962, in accordance with the decree of March 8, ordinary postage stamps have been used as surcharges. They are pasted on the address side of the envelope on the left. Next to it is written by hand or a stamp is placed with the inscription "Porto" .

Airmail

In June 1925, Denmark's first airmail stamps were issued. They depicted an airplane flying over a plowman. Airmail stamps could only be used to pay for airmail, although the latter could also be paid for with regular stamps. After the abolition of additional payment for airmail correspondence on some lines, the issue of airmail stamps was discontinued at the end of April 1940. A total of 10 airmail stamps were issued.

Stamps for ferry lines

In 1918, two ferry lines between the cities of Loister and Aggersund, as well as between the city of Esbjerg and the island of Fanø, were transferred to the jurisdiction of the postal department. Since 1919, special stamps with the overprint “Postfærge” (Mail Ferry) have been used to pay for the transportation of parcels and other goods. They were stuck on parcels weighing up to 25 kg, and with larger weights, on accompanying documents. The stamps were canceled with red, purple and black stamps. In total, 18 issues were carried out, including 47 stamps. The last release took place in February 1975. The stamps were withdrawn from circulation in May 1977.

Before ferry lines were taken over by the government, private labels were used on them.

Calculated

To pay for the delivery of newspapers, since September 1907, the Danish post office has issued so-called payment stamps with the inscription “Avisporto / mærke” (“Newspaper stamp”). A total of three series of such stamps were released. They were withdrawn from circulation on January 1, 1917.

In June - November 1918, in connection with the introduction of new postal tariffs, the payment stamps were overprinted with a new value and the text “Postfrim. / Danmark". These stamps were used as postage stamps.

For services provided by postal employees, such as writing addresses, filling out forms, processing mail at odd hours, etc., special fees apply in Denmark. From April 1, 1923 to 1962, these services were paid for with special payment stamps, which were affixed to postal items. The first issue of payment stamps - an overprint on a surcharge stamp with a face value of the 10th era of the words “Gebir / Gebir” (Tariff), took place on March 21, 1923. The remaining three issues are of the original drawing with the inscription "Gebirmærke". The last issue of settlement stamps took place in February 1934. Most settlement stamps were canceled with calendar stamps.

After the stocks of settlement stamps were used up, ordinary postage stamps began to be used. Large post offices use stamps with the inscription "Gebyr" and indicating the cost.

Soldier's

In August 1917, two stamps from the 1913 standard series were overprinted "SF"("Soldier's stamp"). They were used for soldiers' correspondence and were withdrawn from circulation at the end of March 1918.

Digital

From 2011, the Danish Post (and at the same time the Swedish Post) plans to introduce a new system of payment for postal items - using “digital stamps”. Payment is made via SMS, via message "porto" to the short number 1900. After this, a digital code is sent to the sender’s phone. It can be printed either directly on the envelope (in the place where the postage stamp is usually located), or on a separate sheet, then cut out and pasted on any type of item - parcel post, parcel or postcard that is not suitable for printing on a printer.

Issues from Danish territories

Schleswig

After the First World War, a plebiscite on nationality was held in the northern part of Schleswig, which took place in the first zone in February and in the second in March 1920. During the preparation and during the plebiscite, stamps of the original drawings with the inscription lat were in circulation. "Slesvig. Plebiscit" (Schleswig Plebiscite).

Service stamps were also issued - overprints on postage stamps of Schleswig with the abbreviation fr. "C.I.S."

(Commission Interalliée Schleswig - International Commission for Schleswig).

The population of the first zone spoke in favor of joining Denmark, which occupied it on May 19. The next day, stamps with drawings from the plebiscitary issue came into circulation here, but in Danish currency and with a blue overprint “1 ZONE” (1 zone). Initially, stamps were canceled with German stamps, which were gradually replaced by Danish ones. Over the entire period of circulation of its own issues, 28 postage stamps were overprinted. On January 26, 1920, a blue overprint was made on a series of 14 denominations C.I.S.

(Commission Interalliée Slesvig, translated from French. Inter-Allied Commission for Schleswig). Intended for franking official correspondence of the Entente Inter-Allied Commission in Schleswig, which conducted a plebiscite in the region from January 26 to June 16, 1920. Another 14 denominations of the uncirculated series were overprinted on May 20, 1920 for use in Northern Schleswig 1.ZONE (Zone 1), which went to Denmark after partition under the Treaty of Versailles. Was in circulation until July 17, 1920.

Greenland

From 1905 to 1937, special Greenland parcel stamps were issued. In 1937, an independent Greenland postal department was created. Since September 17, 1938, it received the right to forward and pay for all postal items, as well as issue its own stamps. Greenland postage stamps have been issued since December 1, 1938.

Faroe islands

Private mail

The city post office operated in Copenhagen from 1878 to 1913, Aarhus from 1886 to 1890, Aalborg from 1884 to 1889, as well as in Odense, Viborg, Svenborg, Fredericia and other cities.

One Piece Things

Postcards for the 375th anniversary of Danish Post, issued in 1999, were sent free of charge to every family living in the country for ten months. The same thing happened with the card encouraging children to write letters, which came out in 2000. Since 2001, postcards have been issued in series of five or four copies and sold as a set.

Charity stamps

In 1904, the world's first charity stamps (vignettes) appeared in Denmark. They were distributed through postal institutions, but did not serve to pay for postal correspondence. The funds collected from the sale of these stamps were transferred to charitable purposes - to raise money for the fund to fight tuberculosis. The stamps went on sale around Christmas and were therefore called "Julmarken" ( "Christmas stamps") .
