Mail to your doorstep
We don’t always deliver your mail to your home yard or summer home yard, but slightly further away to a mailbox along the delivery route. By subscribing to the Nearby Mailbox service, you can even get your mail delivered to your doorstep. The service is subject to a charge.
The Nearby Mailbox service now also includes the publications delivered in Posti’s early-morning delivery. In other words, you won’t need a separate service for your morning newspaper. If the morning newspaper is delivered to a pickup point (drop box) during early distribution, it is not possible to deliver the subscribed newspaper to the nearby box.
To activate the service, log in to Posti’s web service and select Nearby Mailbox at Home or Nearby Mailbox at a Summer Home. Posti’s web service
Please note that mail is also delivered by companies other than Posti . These services only affect our mail delivery.
Cost of service
The price of the Nearby Mailbox service is contingent on how far the preferred location is from the actual delivery route. We will confirm the subscription if:
The location can be safely reached all year round by a public road
The extra distance the deliverer has to drive there and back is no more than 2 km when compared to the original delivery route.

Tips for summer home residents
You can also get Nearby Mailbox for your summer home. If you spend an extended period of time at your summer home, you may even want to have all your mail delivered there. In this case, please note:
If you want us to redirect all the mail delivered to your home to your summer home, please request fixed-term forwarding.
You can also ask your newspaper publishers to redirect your newspapers to your summer home.
Give your summer home address to Posti as a parallel address. This way, your mail is not accidentally delivered to your permanent address.
