Posti service taking a lot of time. Is this normal?

  1. Looks normal to me. Remember that they don’t work on weekends. It’s funny because when I order stuff from Amazon from Germany they might arrive faster than ordering from within Finland.

  2. Just fyi. I always declare things straight through tulli their website. You literally fill in the exact same information but you don’t have to pay posti’s so called handling fee. It’s only 90 cents but it pissed me off that you have to pay that when they still require the same info. It’s just for the privilege of doing it through their app.

  3. It’s good to know that finnish Posti is very very famous for regularly losing items or letters for weeks in their warehouses. Never order anything time critical through Posti, use other courier services instead

  4. Just another workday at Posti.
    What I hate most is the fact that I pay for Amazon Prime home delivery and co-operative partner in Finland is Posti.

    Not a single home delivery, only announcements of “tried to deliver” and then you get to travel several kilometers to the delivery point.

    yes, I’ve complained for 3-4 years both Amazon and Posti.

  5. Depending where you live, the multiple ‘registered’ lines are the item passing through each sorting location. You’ll have the main Vantaa airport sorting, then the major regional hub, then municipal hub, then possibly local hub.

  6. How to get it faster is to call everyday and send them the tulli declaration papers immediately when you get them. And insist on why your package isn’t moving already. If enough people do this, eventually they’ll realize it’ll be less money to make the service work than answering phone calls.

    Or they’ll just end the phone service idk…

  7. Bought home delivery separately from omaposti app. Now the packet has gone second time from Vantaa to Hämeenlinna and back to Vantaa. Both time send to wrong place and rerouted to Vantaa just to be send to wrong place again.

  10. Yes. Posti is notoriously famous for being late. And then there’s another famous institute that is Finnish Customs. My last package from US sat there for over a week before they even sent me a notification that it needs to be declared.

  11. Posti is definitely one of those things that has been absolute dogshit for years and only gone for worse.

  12. It’s common. I’ve had customs clearance and delivery in a couple of days. Other times, it’s taken up to a week.

    You’ll probably receive a notification on Monday that it’s out for delivery or that you need to confirm a suitable time. If you don’t hear anything by Tuesday, I’d give them a call.

    Source: I buy far too much stuff online, both nationally and internationally.

  13. Atleast something is happening to your parcel. Normal would be them just making it disappear in Vantaa logistics center.

  14. Yes, completely normal. Posti is a garbage delivery service and you are pretty much better off with any other. Budbee, ups, DHL and so on.

  15. If its fast its not Posti. Also if they deliver to your door its not Posti. They love leaving packages at the other corner of the city….

  16. It’s the Customs and Posti together. That process has to be one of the least efficient in the world.

  17. See where it says Read More? Click that and read more. Each one of those will tell you where the item has been and what it’s been doing. Without knowing where you live, it’s impossible to say how many sorting stages it needs to pass through, and these might have delays depending on the local Posti activities. Knowledge is power!

  18. There is a saying: if you kill someone, send the body by posti and nobody will ever find it.

  19. My friend ordered a costume from Netherlands. The package’s trip from there to Finland took two days. Now it has been in shipping with posti for the last nine days. I think that concludes everything…

  20. Why is everyone shitting on Posti? Honestly have you had such bad experiences? Has always worked just fine for me.
