When an online store offers Posti's delivery services, you can usually choose whether we deliver the parcel to a pickup point or directly to your home. But did you know that there are often multiple options for home delivery as well?
Our home delivery options for private customers include:
Posti's home delivery at an agreed time (sometimes also called Home parcel)
Small parcel to door or mailbox
If you're wondering which option would suit your needs better, read more below!
In some online stores, you can also choose Posti's Express parcel to your door. It is best suited for businesses, as it is delivered during the daytime (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) without prior notice or contact.
Posti's home delivery at an agreed time
Posti's home delivery at an agreed time is a service where you can choose the delivery date and time from several options. You will be asked to select a delivery time after the parcel has been in transit for 1–2 business days. At the same time, you can choose whether to receive the parcel face-to-face or have it left at your door. The delivery time can be selected within approximately 4-hour time slots, which are available on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. In the busiest areas, home deliveries are also available on Saturdays. You will receive notifications on your phone or by email as the chosen delivery time approaches. You can track the parcel’s arrival via the OmaPosti app. In the biggest cities, you can see the driver approaching on the map for the last 20 minutes.
Our customer says:
“The notifications started the day before delivery, and the delivery time was specified on the morning of the delivery day. As the delivery got closer, the notifications became even more detailed. The driver who delivered the shipment was friendly and polite. Many thanks!”
When to choose Posti's home delivery at an agreed time:
When you want to choose the delivery time yourself.
When it's important to know exactly when the parcel will arrive so you can be home to receive it.
When you want to decide whether the parcel is handed over in person or left at the door.
When you want to choose not to have the doorbell rung or the door knocked on.
Small Parcel to door or mailbox
Small Parcel to door is a newer home delivery option from Posti, allowing you to have your parcel delivered to your door or mailbox without having to wait at home. The maximum dimensions for a Small parcel to door are 38x38x28cm/4kg . If the parcel doesn’t fit in the mailbox and you’re not home when the mail carrier rings the doorbell, they will leave the parcel at your door. The parcel will be protected from rain if necessary. The parcel actively informs you of its arrival. You will receive the first notification when the parcel is being dispatched from the online store. On the morning of the delivery day, you’ll get a message that the parcel will arrive during the day. You will also be notified when and where the parcel has been delivered. The delivery time is 2–5 business days from dispatch. You can track the parcel's arrival via the OmaPosti app.
Our customers say:
“The best thing ever was that I didn’t have to wait around for them to come to the door.”
“Flexible and convenient delivery method.”
When to choose Small parcel to door:
When you're looking for a more affordable home delivery option.
When you wish to avoid the need to stay at home – there's no need for anyone to be present to receive the parcel.
When you don’t need to know the exact delivery date in advance.
When the parcel can be left at the door to wait until you bring it inside.
These delivery options suit many different needs. Which one would you choose?
