Posti announces changes to international parcels charges
Finland’s Posti has announced that, effective from 14 June, it will be making changes for international parcels that are paid for with cash. The changes will only affect international parcels purchased online or with the Posti mobile application to the following destination countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia.
There are two changes taking place:
The price of sending a parcel will be based on size instead of weight. The sizes will be the same as in domestic parcels. Check the sizes and prices.
The maximum weight for a parcel will be 31.5 kg (up from the old maximum weight 30 kg).
Posti added: “The prices for parcels purchased online or with the mobile application are lower than the prices for parcels paid for at postal outlets. Sending the parcel from a postal outlet is also faster if the sender has already entered the parcel information online or through the mobile application.”
The changes do not apply to international parcels that are paid for at postal outlets.
Parcels weighing under 10 kg that are paid for with cash are covered by Posti’s universal service obligation.
