work is a public place, with efforts directed to the goal of making money - simple, clear, though perhaps not ideal.
at work, privacy of the individual - as it relates to company resources used, time purchased from the employee - is nonexistant.
Perhaps the exclusion to this is an exception of company provisions that provide for certain "private" or "personal" use of company resources - using the telephone to make personal calls should not be recorded, checking one's Hotmail account should not be monitored or cached, but perhaps this activity should be voluntarily limited by the employee or restricted to formal "break" times. Defining "personal use" benefits sounds like where I would focus given the situation you describe.
Why didn't you like the DHL option? I worked at an internation company a few years back, and everything we shipped to "less developed" countries (I guess this kinda includes far eastern parts of Russia) went DHL.
Have you looked into using Airborne Express, or going with a freight forwarder, and paying a little more? Don't assume you can just "mail" something to Russia - or most places in the world - email, yes - but not _mail_ mail.
