Recently, we have often been asked the question of whether minors can receive parcels from Aliexpress. But how could it be that the order goes to the name and address of the child? Firstly, our children are often much more active on the Internet, they are well versed in the intricacies of shopping. And they can, as it turned out, place orders for Aliexpress with the permission of their parents. But whether they will be given a parcel at the post office and what documents they will need, they do not know. And the second reason is when mom is actively shopping on Aliexpress and does not fit into customs limit. Then she makes an order in the name of her child.

Can minors receive the package?

Let's say right away that if the parcel goes in the name of the child, then it can be easily received.

• If the child is over 14 and already has a passport, then he can get it on his own upon presentation of the document. You don't need to take your parents with you.
• If the minor does not yet have a passport, then only the parent can receive the parcel, upon presentation of the passport and birth certificate of the child.

There is Clause 111 in the Rules for the provision of postal services, which states that “ Postal items, addressed to minors under the age of 14, are issued to their parents (guardians, trustees) or other legal representatives without a power of attorney, subject to the presentation of one of the documents specified in paragraph 116 of these Rules and documents confirming family relations or the rights of legal representatives. We found this item and show it in the picture below.

That is, in order to receive a parcel in the name of a minor, the parent needs to come to the post office with a notice, passport and birth certificate of the child. The personal presence of the child himself is not necessary, so you can not take him with you.

There is information on the network that a child can receive a parcel on his own by presenting a foreign passport or birth certificate to postal workers in conjunction with a document containing a photograph (for example, with a student ID). But when communicating in the Russian Post support chat, the consultant denied this information. The child himself, without a parent or guardian, even upon presentation of the above documents, will not be able to receive the parcel!

At what age can parcels with Aliexpress be processed for a child?

There is no age limit for receiving parcels from China by minors. You can specify a child of any age as a recipient. Moreover, young mothers often place orders with Aliexpress for their newborn babies, who are not even a year old. And parcels addressed to the baby are given to them at the post office without question.

As such, there is no age limit for shopping on Aliexpress. Therefore, you can safely arrange even a baby, and calmly receive parcels in his name at the post office on your passport.

What to do if the postal workers refuse to issue a parcel addressed to the child?

To resolve this issue, we turn to the Rules for the provision of postal services. This document is available in every post office of the Russian Federation and, at your request, it must be provided to you.
We are interested in paragraph 111, attention is drawn to just such cases. Namely: “Post items addressed to minors under the age of 14 are issued to their parents (guardians, trustees) or other legal representatives without a power of attorney, subject to the presentation of one of the documents specified in paragraph 116 of these Rules and documents confirming family relations or rights of legal representatives."
Paragraph 116 reads: “Post items and postal orders addressed to minors under the age of 14 or persons recognized as legally incompetent in the prescribed manner are issued to parents (adoptive parents, guardians) without a power of attorney upon presentation of one of the documents specified in paragraph 116 of these Rules, and documents confirming their relationship to minors or incapacitated persons (birth certificate of the child, a certificate issued by the relevant administrative authority, or a copy of the decision of this administrative authority to appoint this person as a guardian).
Postal items addressed to minors under the age of 14 who are (living) in boarding schools, orphanages and other similar institutions are issued by proxy to persons authorized by these institutions.”
Based on this, in any post office you should be given a parcel in the name of the child upon presentation:

• notices of receipt of the parcel in the communication department
• passport proving your identity
• child's birth certificates

In this case, the presence of the child is not required.
