The original invitation is sent by courier, so postage costs around $60 or $70. A business visa does not allow you to work (legally) in Russia.

Unfortunately, no. The Russian postal system can be unreliable.

But if I am willing to take that risk why is it a problem to send it by regular mail?

You can ask the visa support company if they will send it by regular post. Maybe they will agree. Delivery time will probably be around 3 weeks or more though.

I received a private invitation this week that was sent by EMS, the Russian express post service. While originally dubious I was surprised and delighted by this efficient service. Just 11 days to get from the Far East to a non metro area of Australia. That's 2 days longer than DHL takes and a fraction of the cost.
