What people send from the UK
From the UK to Russia people send gifts, English books, tea, children’s things, documents and medicines for personal use. Russian speakers in Britain go home for holidays — JetJoin helps you find a traveler.
The platform connects the sender with a traveler and protects the payment rather than carrying parcels itself.
UK sanctions on exports
The UK bans the export to Russia of luxury goods and many categories of equipment and electronics. Expensive clothes, accessories, jewellery and new electronics may be held.
It is safe to send books, tea, personal items, documents and inexpensive gifts.
Route and meeting
Travelers go from the UK to Russia with transfers. Arrange the handover in London with time to spare: getting to the airport can take over an hour.
In Russia, the recipient meets the traveler in the arrival city.
Preparing the parcel
Upload photos and videos of the contents and packaging to JetJoin and list the items with their approximate value.
Don’t hand over items the traveler doesn’t know about.
Price and payment
You propose the reward, and the traveler agrees or names another amount. JetJoin’s sender fee is 15%.
The traveler photographs the parcel when taking it and enters the confirmation code when handing it to the recipient in Russia — only then is the payment charged.
