Posti will shorten the storage period of parcels at Posti Parcel Lockers and service points to five days, starting 1 October 2025. You can check your last pickup date on Posti’s notice of arrival.
For parcels for which the sender has purchased an additional service (e.g. Cash on Delivery), the storage period will still be seven days.
If the sender has not provided the recipient’s telephone number or email address, in which case the notice of arrival is delivered in paper form, the storage period of the parcel is extended to nine days. This ensures that the recipient receives the information in a timely manner.
Need a longer storage period? Purchasing an extension is easy in OmaPosti
If you can’t pick up your parcel within five days, you can easily extend the storage period up to 14 days in the OmaPosti app. Please also note that you could have another person pick up the parcel on your behalf. They will be able to pick up a parcel on your behalf if they use the code for opening the locker or the pickup code at the service point – an identity card or power of attorney is usually not required.
More availability at the most popular Posti Parcel Lockers
Over 97% of Posti’s parcels are already being picked up within five days. However, the most popular Posti Parcel Lockers can get congested from time to time. A shorter storage period frees up lockers faster, which means that more and more people can get their parcels at their preferred Parcel Locker.
Posti’s parcel locker network continues to grow, and our customers are already using around 2,000 Posti Parcel Lockers across Finland. We continuously develop our services according to the needs of our customers.
