C) Special
Mail Services
Note: Special mail services are optional. If you
are not interested in special mail services, we forward your letters by standard
air mail without any extra cost to you (letters, photos, profile only - does not
apply to other items or packages). However due to the poor quality of mail
service in Russia, we caution that your letters have a lesser chance of reaching
their destination without use of special mail services such as registered
mail described below.
Registered Air Mail:
Our experience has been
that mail sent this way will take anywhere from about 8 days to a month or more
to arrive even though the U.S.Postal Service claims that standard air mail
should arrive within 4-7 days. We'll register your mail with a return receipt to
be dated and signed by the person receiving the letter to prove that it reached
its destination. Otherwise you won't know whether your mail was delivered or
not. Registration includes Russian language
addressing on the envelope or package and the necessary registration forms, and
translating and listing the items enclosed on any required content declaration
form. Recommended.
$19.00 for registered
letter, profile sheet, photos.
$ 8.00 extra to include a
videotape.
International Reply Coupon:
Enclosing a coupon with your
letter allows her to reply without postage cost. It may also enhance and speed
responses. Recommended.
$ 2.25 per letter.
Global Express
Mail:
Faster (3-5 days according to U.S Postal service) but in reality it
may be longer and it is not available for every city you may want to send it
to..
$33.00 for up to 8 oz.
$36.00 for up to 16 oz.
$39.00 for up to
24 oz.
$ 3.00 extra for each additional
pound.
E-mail:
Fastest but unavailable or impractical for persons
who do not have an e-mail address or access to e-mail. Also e-mail addresses are frequently
misspelled, changed and discontinued without our notificaton, so you take a
chance of paying a fee for sending your e-mail to a defunct or incorrect
address.
$15.00 for e-mail letter sent and any reply. Typing/editing
extra.
Packages and Gifts:
Includes packaging and translation
entry on a customs declaration form. Please identify and give the approximate
value of each item enclosed since each item must be named, translated and valued
on the customs declarations form. Note: There can be declared value implications
for expensive gifts as we understand that women have been charged a fee
depending on the value of the gift.
$15.00 plus cost of mailing per package.

D) Phone
Translation Services
Phone calls to someone with limited English are
very difficult for both of you and can result in confusion and
misunderstandings. Our translated calls are made via a 3 way conference call
between you at your home, the Russian Connection translator, and the person
you're calling in Russia or the commonwealth state. Note: Phone calls must be
made via our translator until the time your trip is purchased as a means of
protecting both parties from insincere individuals and persons with duplicitous
motives. Moreover when trip support services are paid for, it will assure the
other person that you are serious about this venture and demonstrate your intent
of making a trip. Thereafter, phone calls can be made independently or you may
continue to use our translator. Recommended.
$20.00 for up to 7
minutes + $2.99 per additional minute for connected calls to Russia.
$20.00
for up to 6 minutes + $3.49 per additional minute for connected calls to
commonwealth states.
