Elina: a saving angel for an exchange student
I am a 26-year-old project manager (Communications) from Espoo. I started using NetPosti in the early 2000s, when I left Finland to study as an exchange student. I thought that I’d be able to take care of my affairs from abroad, and it worked just fine. But, the best thing is that NetPosti has also turned out to be useful even after I completed my exchange studies abroad: in moving, archiving and checking vital information. So far, the service has helped me with taxation and Kela student allowances. I strongly recommend the service to everyone, and personally intend to use it from now on.
Timo: more reasonable time management
The papers of a 43-year-old family man may sometimes just mystically disappear. We receive newspapers and advertisements all the time, and bills easily get lost among them. My wife is such an active cleaner that she quickly removes unnecessary newspapers off tables. Afterwards, I have had to sort out my bills and make phone calls. This always takes some time. Thanks to NetPosti, my bills and pay slips have remained safe and in good order. There has also been more time to do other things, but don’t tell my wife – at least when it’s cleaning day.
Juha: it is convenient that there is no huge pile of mail at the door
I’m a teacher, and have used NetPosti since its introduction. Nowadays, I receive most of my important mail in electronic format, which is very nice. No paper is consumed, and there is no worry that something would disappear. I get new mail notifications conveniently to my e-mail inbox. I use NetPosti to pay bills and archive important pay slip details. It seems that electronic mail is delivered more quickly even at sea, where I work from time to time. It’s nicer to come home knowing that my affairs are in order and that a pile of mail won't be waiting for me at the door.
Saila: NetPosti is easy to access
I am a 28-year-old woman with cerebral palsy, based in Helsinki. I’m engaged, and while we were dating, I also spent a lot of time at my boyfriend’s. NetPosti has made my life easier, since I don’t have to go get my mail from my own home so often. I also like the fact that you don’t have to tear open every single envelope. As a person who loves nature and forests, I like NetPosti because I don’t have to use so much paper mail. In fact, my dream would be to receive all mail in electronic format. Moving in with my boyfriend won’t affect my use of NetPosti. If anything, the service will get one new user more. Or, who knows, maybe even two new ones…
