Order from Russia

[rockp5233]

Good morning everyone,

Just received an order from a Russian buyer and the shipping address is in russian typo, see below... Is it OK to use exactly the same typo on my shipping label ?

Thanks in advance for your comments

That mailing label should do fine.  No problem.

Yep, I send addresses like that in Russian (folks from China do this as well) all the time.....

Well I will process it like this.

The label will print out just fine.

Add the country name in Roman letters if you like, it may help while the parcel is inside Canada.

International mailing is handled by the Universal Postal Union agreement.

French is the official language of the UPU. English was added as a working language in 1994. The majority of the UPU's documents and publications – including its flagship magazine, Union Postale - are available in the United Nations official languages:

• Arabic
• Chinese
• English
• French
• Russian
• Spanish
• Portuguese

The 'languages' included the writing systems.

Here's waaay too much information:
