When the Almaty — Semey route comes in handy
Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. Semey is a historic city on the Irtysh, the centre of Abai Region and the home of many figures of Kazakh culture. The cities are roughly 840 km apart in a straight line, far enough that sending an item with someone already going beats making the trip yourself.
From Almaty people usually send what is easier to buy or pick up there: orders from local shops, original documents from offices and universities, gifts and belongings left with family. In Semey parcels go to students of the medical university, teachers, families and elderly parents.

What to put in the parcel and what to leave at home
Documents, clothes, books, gifts and small electronics are what people usually send within the country. Food is fine if it is well packed and won’t leak, but remember that liquids in cabin baggage are limited and perishables may not last until the recipient gets them.
Before the meetup, show the traveler the contents and let them see it packed: they are responsible for what they take through screening. Photos and videos on JetJoin help avoid disputes, and sturdy but easy-to-open packaging saves time at the airport.
Handover in Almaty and pickup in Semey
Choose the handover spot on the traveler’s way rather than for your own convenience; that way there is less risk of being late. Almaty is big and a cross-town trip at rush hour can take over an hour, so arrange to meet near the airport or a metro station on the traveler’s way.
Semey is split in two by the Irtysh; agree which bank to meet on and name a landmark. The recipient meets the traveler and gives them the confirmation code; once the code is entered, the delivery is complete.
How much it costs to send a parcel from Almaty to Semey
The price is a matter of agreement: a small envelope of documents usually costs less than a box of belongings. The traveler can accept your offer or reply with their own. Payment goes through JetJoin with a 15% sender fee and is charged after delivery is confirmed.
