We will change the list prices of Postal Services for companies from October 1, 2024. The increase of the list prices is an average of 9%.
The biggest reason for the price increase is the decrease in the amount of paper mail, which will significantly increase unit costs. We have strongly increased the automatization of sorting, optimized delivery routes and centralized delivery offices. In addition, due to declining demand, we will have to adapt our service portfolio by, for example, discontinuing or changing unprofitable services.
Digital services have replaced paper, significantly reducing the amount of paper mail delivered, and the decline in volume is expected to accelerate further in the coming years. The decline is also accelerated by the digitalization projects of the public sector and the state.
The volume of letter mail has decreased by 70 percent over the past ten years. The volume of addressed letters decreased by 10 percent in the last quarter.
We will increase the list prices of Postal Services by an average of 9% from October 1, 2024.
The price and service changes apply to, among other things, domestic and international letters, magazine and newspaper services and mail receiving services.
The price change does not apply to newspapers in early-morning delivery or the prices of stamps and other cash services.
Delivery of unaddressed advertisements and publications will end at the turn of the year
The delivery of Home Direct and Home Direct Premium items and the Postinen advertisement bundle will end on December 31, 2024. Our addressed direct marketing services and our addressed publications services will not be affected by the change.
The prices of Posti Messaging Oy will also change. The general increase of 9% will be applied e.g. to the iPost service and to the digitizing and invoice reception services.
