What home delivery options does Posti offer?
Our home delivery options for private customers include:
Posti's home delivery at an agreed time (sometimes also called Home parcel)
Small parcel to door or mailbox
Choose home delivery at an agreed time when you want to select the delivery time yourself. The Small parcel to door is a more affordable option for situations where you don’t need to know the exact delivery time in advance.
In some online stores, you can also choose Posti's Express Parcel to your door. It is best suited for businesses, as it is delivered during the daytime (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) without prior notice or contact.
How it works: home delivery at an agreed time
This is a home delivery option where you can choose the delivery date and time from several options. You will be asked to select a delivery time after the parcel has been in transit for 1–2 business days. At the same time, you can choose whether to receive the parcel face-to-face or have it left at your door.
The delivery time can be selected within approximately 4-hour time slots, which are available on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. In the busiest areas, home deliveries are also available on Saturdays.
You will receive notifications on your phone or by email as the chosen delivery time approaches. You can track the parcel’s arrival via the OmaPosti app.
In the biggest cities, you can see the driver approaching on the map for the last 20 minutes. These include the Helsinki metropolitan area, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä, and Kuopio.
How it works: Small parcel to door or mailbox
Small parcel to door is Posti's newer and more affordable home delivery service, where your parcel is delivered to your door or mailbox without the need to wait at home.
If the parcel doesn’t fit in the mailbox and you’re not home when the mail carrier rings the doorbell, they will leave the parcel at your door. The parcel will be protected from rain if necessary.
The parcel actively informs you of its arrival. You will receive the first notification when the parcel is being dispatched from the online store. On the morning of the delivery day, you’ll get a message that the parcel will arrive during the day. You will also be notified when and where the parcel has been delivered.
The delivery time is 2–5 business days from dispatch. You can track the parcel's arrival via the OmaPosti app.
