We care about making everyday life smoother – now and in the future. That’s why we’re developing services that make things easier.

We are now looking for customers in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area for our trial program to try out the service. Read more and register.

Temporary storage for various everyday situations

Moving, renovating, traveling or storing seasonal items – life situations vary, but what they all have in common is that there isn't enough space to store everything.

Posti Remote Home Storage offers a flexible solution: pack your things at home and order a pickup using the application – we take care of the rest. The items are safely stored in our warehouse and we will deliver them back when you need them, either the items you have selected or all at once.
