Russian woman bride: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if men send mail by regular means "US Global Express" or something of this nature, and they never hear back from these women? This mail/e->mail/telephone contact information plus translation plus mail forwarding can be an expensive proposition for men if these women never get back to the men in question, even if it is to say they are not interested.
A: If you contact a lady who doesn't speak English and you don't offer her a way to answer back, she can decide that there is no chance for contact. Her regular letter in russian will be delivered to you in a month or two ... Will you read them? Of course, most of them prefer to correspond through the agency. I would recommend to send at least one first letter through our service. Then we can always check the delivery and contact the lady if she doesn't answer in 10 days. So you will always get an answer -either positive or negative. Later you can decide if you want to continue correspondence through our service or use another way. If you already have a contact, she won't miss your "US Global Express" package.Q: Is this true that some men have gone on tours to the Ukraine or Russia and the women they have appointments with decided not to see them?
A: It happens when agencies write letters instead of women. You are getting love letters but ladies have no idea about this correspondence and never really wanted to meet you. That's why we offer scanned original handwritten letters, you can always get a proof that it was written by the lady herself.Of course, everything can happen in personal life, we usually recommend to correspond with several women before a personal meeting and meet several ladies. There is always a chance that she or you won't be interested enough at your personal meeting and you or she can meet someone else.
Q: I have heard some stories about the fact that some ladies at some of these photos aren't really the ladies that are seeking the companionship; that some organizations hire beautiful women for the photos and that these photos aren't of the women that are depicted in the profiles.
A: It happens. Anybody can stole photos from another site or another person and use them to get money. All sites accepting profiles online allow it. It is impossible to detect the cheat. They can't tell if a lady is real or not. We don't accept profiles online or by email, only in person . Photos are provided by the women or taken by the agency. There is no reason to invite someone else, because there are enough really beautiful ladies in Russia and Ukraine.Q: Why does more than 90% of the profiles not show that the contact information available includes an e-mail address? To retrieve an address which does not have an e-mail address does not have much value.
A: I don't remember correct numbers, but , as I remember, less than 5% russian people use internet. Many of them use it at work only and have no personal email addresses. Computer is still too expensive and really not needed in home where is no even washing-machine or dishwasher yet. We work with real people only, we accept profiles in person and don't accept them online to protect our clients from scammers and fake persons. That's why it's happened that most our ladies have no email addresses. Some ladies don't make email addresses available to clients because they can correspond only in russian and prefer to be contacted through the agency or because they can't use their work email for their personal purposes. Usually correspondence with ladies having no email can be more interesting, more personal, thoughtfull, sometimes oldfashioned, because they are getting less letters and take correspondence more seriously.Q: I am African-American. Can Russian women be concerned about a man of another race?
A: There are no many color people living in Russia. It is just due to our history and ethnography. Exception is foreign students or ex-foreigners... Some African Ukrainians or Russians can be seen on TV (showmen, singers...). Usually they are foreigners’ children. Actually black men have no problems with women's attention here; they are even very popular sometimes when people around them have an opportunity to get to know them. But most ladies just don't know what to expect and prefer white men as conventional variant for marriage. Still it doesn't mean they have no interest or can't love men of another race. There are women (mostly young) who can be really interested. Of course, you need to be a good person, a real gentleman and everything they can expect from a future husband.May be you will like the idea to place your profile in our offices catalogues to allow ladies to inform you if they are interested in you. It's a new free offer for our members and for serious clients, you are welcome to use it. You can fill out the application at http://www.russian-women.net/russian-women-foreign-men-match.shtml and send us your photo to info@russian-women.net
Q: I would like to have my profile along with my picture placed in one of your web sites, and I allow you to give access to every woman to get my address and phone number free of charges.
A: We do not have online catalogue for our men-clients. There are only ladies profiles on our website. Some local affiliates have printed catalogues for our men-clients, which contain some basic information about a man and his picture. They suggest that their ladies-clients coming to the office browse this catalogue.When a lady is interested in a particular man, he is informed about this and her id number and provided he is interested too, he sends her a letter through our system.
If a lady has no language barrier and has an email she can mail him personally as all the contact information is listed there.
Q: I will be more than happy to pay, but I can’t give my card number on the net. Are there any other ways of payment?
A: Please read "Other payment options"Q: What does it mean when the lady has Introduction credits? Does it have anything to do with correspondence?
A: Introduction credits mean the sum of money our local affiliate will charge you when you come to this lady's home city and want the agency to arrange meeting with this lady. If lady's "introduction credit" equals "0", this means a client will have a meeting with this lady organized free of charge. If it is 3, the cost of arranging meeting will be ˆ15.It has nothing to do with correspondence.
Q: Can you inform me Elena’s email, I would like to write to her personally.
A: Sometimes ladies’ emails are included in the contact details, sometimes not. We leave a right to our ladies to have their emails (if any) and telephone numbers published or not. Many of these ladies just have no email addresses and can't use computers It is written in her profile what contact information is available. Like “Her contact information available: Postal Address” Many of these ladies just have no email addresses and can't use computers. In this case we offer agency mail forwarding service at their convenience. Your contact information including email is informed to the lady with the first letter. If she has any email or is willing to share, or knows English well enough to mail you directly, she is welcome to inform you her email or mail independently. It is up to her. We leave the choice whether to use the agency service for correspondence or not open for the lady.Q: I would like to know if it is possible to use your mail forwarding procedure to send a letter to a girl from a different agency, but I only have her postal address and not email.
A: It is possible to use our mail forwarding system to mail a lady not registered with our service. You can just send it to us, it will be registered and forwarded to the local affiliate that locates in this lady's home city, or close to it. The letter then will be delivered to the lady. You will need to provide us with her correct postall address and full name. It the letter does not reach her (only in case the address is wrong or lady does not live there any longer), you will be informed.Q: I want to send mail to some ladies. Will the Ukrainian and Russian post office know where to deliver my mail ? The outside envelope is written in English.
A: FSU mail service will deliver the letter having the address wrritten in English. There must be no problem with that. Alternatively, you can write its Cyrillic variant which you are provided with when you retrieve lady's address.Q: How do I get started?
A: Read about the services we provide. Decide on the membership or non membership route. Use the search page to find the ladies you are seeking and search engine.Order addresses and write, email or phone them. From then on, it's up to you. If you wish to meet any of the ladies you write to, we can arrange a personal tour when you get to that stage. Click here to learn more!Q: Are these girls for real?
A: Yes, every Russian woman as well as all these women from Ukraine, Belarus and other countries listed with the Russian Women Network and shown on this site are really looking for a foreign partner for long term relationship and marriage. We check in availability of our ladies-clients, on a regular basis and ask if they wish to be removed from our database. This enables us to list only the girls who are actively seeking a partner and keep being interested in our service.Behind each profile there is a real person, who has to come to the agency to get registered, submit ID documents and personally sign an application form. This lets us declare there are real women behind these pretty pictures you can see on our web pages.
Q: I didn't fully understand the charges for your services. I am getting ready to write to some of your ladies, Do they have to pay to write back to me?
A: It costs ˆ4 for a normal letter, ˆ5 for a registered letter, and ˆ8 per page (650 words) for translation. Printing photos costs ˆ3 each. To use the service, you need to retrieve the ladies address and have transferred sufficient funds into your mail forwarding account. The ladies are not charged for replying to you. Your mail forwarding account is charged for the ladies correspondence, in the same way as it is charged for sending emails to the ladies. You can send mail through our service to any lady, providing you have her full address. It doesn't matter if she is a member of the Russian Women Network or not.Q: Why do the ladies on your site prefer a foreign guy?
A: I can't explain it better than one of our clients did in his "Attempt At Understanding Russian Woman". Click here to read it!Q: How many ladies should I write to, to ensure I get a response?
A: Most clients take advantage of the fact the price falls to ˆ5 each per address, instead of the usual ˆ10 per address, when you order 10 addresses or more. Members can retrieve 10 addresses per month free of charge, so they also tend to write to a lot of ladies. In short the answer is that if you write to only one or two ladies, you are severely limiting your chances. You should start with about ten ladies you like, write to them by postal mail if you’re in no hurry for a reply, or via our mail forwarding service, if you would like to get a reply more quickly. Remember to include a good photo of yourself. Then sit back and see how it goes, and the number of replies you get. If you don't get many replies, revise your letter or expectations accordingly and try again.Q: I am 55, does this matter?
A: This is where Russian women differ from European and American women - the age of the partner they prefer. Family is very important to Russian women. They typically marry men who are years older than themselves. They look for security and someone who will be a good father and can provide for a family. Many ladies will marry guys much, much older than themselves. Whilst this may appear very attractive, having too large an age gap may mean you don't have much in common or the activities the two of you wish to do are very different.All in all choosing a lady you would like to write to and consider relationship with; it is well worth considering close age group or a reasonable age gap.
Q: I noticed you introduce ladies from Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and other countries. Are you able to assist me in all these cities?
A: We are situated in Ukraine, Sevastopol, but we have a support network in many cities in the Former USSR.

Contact us for reservations on andrew@russian-women.net
Q: I am going to St.Petersburg soon. Do you have any ladies from this city?
A: You can use our Search Engine and enter the city name in the "keywords" box to do a search for all the ladies in a particular city.Q: I've heard that a lot of mail from the US goes missing. Is this true?
A: Mail from the Canada, US or even Europe can take up to three weeks in either direction. Some mail is lost, some is opened by postal workers, some is just never delivered, so don't just give up if the lady fails to reply the first time around. If you're serious about her, be persistent. Remember, even if your letter was delivered into her maibox, it does not mean she really got it, click here and here to see here how mail boxes look like here in this country.Using registered post is the only way to guarantee delivery of international mail. Because of this, the three week delay, and some of our ladies not being able to speak English, we offer an email forwarding and translation service. You send us the letter by email. We then forward it to our office in the appropriate country within the former USSR. They then translate and address it in Russian and put it into the local postal system. Instructions for replying by email are included with the letter. The lady can reply by post or visit our office in person.
Q: What is the point of me sending a letter if I do not know if she understands English?
A: The ladies English (German, French etc.) ability is shown on her profile page. If she knows no language at all the language ability mark will be missing. If she doesn't speak English, and you write to her in English she must either translate the letter using a dictionary, or ask a friend to translate it, if she knows one who can. This means it takes far longer to get a reply, and she may not even reply at all. This is why we provide a translation facility with our email forwarding service. You must say that you need the letter to be translated in the instructions part, and you also have to setup a mail forwarding account.
Q: What about having the girl I choose come to visit me in Florida instead of me going there?
A: You can only ask her, you have nothing to loose. This is very unlikely because you will have problems obtaining a visa and the lady is unlikely to accept if she has never met you.Q: I tried to write to the email address of one of the ladies on your site, and it was returned. Do you have a better e-mail address for her?
A: I'm afraid that sending email to the former USSR can be problematic. You may have to try many times, or write to her or call the lady.It can happen that FSU free mail servers block some foreign mail. I would recommend you to open a Russian email address to contact Russian ladies. It can be done here http://hotbox.ru
