The season is approaching – is your online store ready?

18.8.2025

Autumn kicks off the hottest season for e-commerce – now is the time to get ahead! By tuning your store for peak performance today, you’ll ensure your logistics are in top shape before the shopping rush begins.

Pickup and delivery service – quick help for order peaks or the entire season

When your online store faces an order spike and there’s no time to take parcels to Posti’s pickup point, you can book a pickup even for a single batch. If you need pickups throughout the busiest season, the schedule for the pickup and delivery service can easily be tailored for that too.

We collect parcels from your location and deliver them to your customers without delay. A Posti parcel typically arrives the next business day.

Check and, if needed, update your pickup and delivery service agreement well before the season.

Avoid seasonal congestion – outsource your warehouse before the rush hits

When your own warehouse becomes too small or managing everyday logistics – receiving orders, picking, and arranging transport – takes time away from sales and business development, it’s time to consider outsourcing your storage.

Pricing for outsourced warehousing is based on the work done and space used, so costs scale with demand peaks and quieter periods – without compromising quality.

Enable the necessary integrations to ease seasonal pressure

APIs and plugins automate your online store. During the season, they free up your time and improve the customer experience. Activate all needed integrations and test them now, before the rush. Also check that you have the latest versions.

With API interfaces, you can add delivery options, pickup points, and shipment tracking to your store. Posti expands its pickup point network for the Christmas season, so make sure your checkout shows all available pickup points!

The Pickup Point API replaces our previous Location Service – update it in your online store right away. Posti’s Pickup Point API brings all our pickup points directly to your store with up-to-date information.
