Posti plans to start the alternate-day delivery of day mail in Huittinen, Punkalaidun and Kokemäki in October 2025. Despite the changes, the impacts on mail recipients are minor.
Posti starts the alternate-day delivery of day mail in Huittinen, Punkalaidun and Kokemäki
Printed mail is delivered on weekdays in alternating two-week periods: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday one week, and on Tuesday and Thursday the following week. The actual up-to-date delivery days in your area can be checked by postal code at posti.fi/deliverydays.
In addition to the actual delivery days, we deliver the most urgent items early in the morning as we deliver the morning newspapers. This ensures that the items arrive at the delivery speed agreed on with the senders.
Most newspapers are delivered as before, i.e. on the day they are published. This applies to the main newspaper in the area, for example. However, there may be some changes to the delivery times of some publications.
Posti's early-morning delivery in the Huittinen area will end in October. In part of Huittinen, the early-morning delivery that took place at night will change to morning delivery, where newspapers and other mail will be delivered in the morning.
The delivery of stamped items is part of the universal services of mail delivery. The stamped items are delivered in accordance with the Postal Act, and the delivery time in Finland is usually four weekdays.
Parcels are delivered as usual to parcel lockers and service points and also with day mail to mail slots and boxes or to your doorstep.
We will inform mail recipients in more detail about the changes to delivery with a public notification in October 2025.
In Finland, regional alternate-day delivery is already in use in many areas. Similar delivery models are also used in all Nordic countries. The reason for this is the dramatic decrease in the volume of printed mail.
By overhauling delivery, Posti can continue to offer traditional delivery services alongside digital services.
