French Post is the national postal operator of France, providing services for forwarding items both within the country and abroad. In addition to standard delivery, it is engaged in courier delivery. As a member of the EMS cooperative, the French Post is the designated operator for the delivery of EMS items.

The international postal regulations strictly prohibit the shipment of drugs, psychotropic or explosive, flammable or other dangerous substances and objects in the mail. The La Poste website contains full rules for forwarding, also related to restrictions on dimensions, weight and mail attachment.

What tracking numbers does French Post use?

Postal items are of two categories and the main criterion for separation is the weight of the item: up to 2 kg - small packages, over - parcels. Parcels from France up to 2 kg may not be tracked, but the French Post always registers parcels and fast delivery of EMC items and gives them a tracking number.

The La Poste tracking number format looks like this:

  • For small packages weighing up to 2 kg - Rx123456785FR;
  • For parcels weighing from 2 to 20 kg - Cx123456785FR;
  • For EMS shipments - Ex123456785FR.

The first letter R indicates that the small package is registered, the letter C will be for the parcel, EMC mail begins with the Latin E. The numbers guarantee the uniqueness of the number. But the last letters determine the country of the postal service from where the parcel was sent.

La Poste Postal Tracking

The track number of La Poste allows you to check the package and its condition on the way. At each stage of the shipment, information about the movement is entered into a single tracking system.

By the status of "Received shipment", the recipient can verify that it was sent. Then the La Poste parcels for processing arrive at the sorting center, where they are distributed and sent to the international postal exchange point. La Poste shipments are cleared through customs and handed over to the designated postal operator of the recipient's country. This is reported by the tracking status "export". And after import, approximately the same path is already in the country of the recipient. The last tracking status notifies you that the package has been released.
