Delivery interruption
A delivery interruption is the easiest way to ensure that your mail will safely reach you during your summer holiday, for example. The mail will be stored at the post office during the interruption, and you can pick up the mail at your Posti Store or sales outlet.
A delivery interruption is an affordable means of protecting your home from burglary and vandalism when you are away for a longer period of time: your overflowing mailbox will not lure any uninvited guests.
Service description
By ordering a delivery interruption, you can temporarily cancel your mail. You must pick up the mail at a Posti service outlet after the service has ended. The service is subject to a charge and available for a minimum of one week and a maximum of two months.
The mail can be picked up at a post office on the second day after the service has ended. If you want to pick up the mail before the deadline, you must agree this by calling the Customer Service no later than two business days before the intended time of pick-up. When the delivery interruption is over, the mail will be normally delivered to the regular address.
Signed deliveries and other mail with arrival notifications are returned to the senders during the interruption period in accordance with the holding times stated in Itella Posti Oyj's general terms of delivery or by the sender's demand.
