According to Posti, the decreased prices effective from today (Thursday) are due to the increased use of digitization and self-service.
The reduction applies to domestic parcels that are paid for using general cash payment methods.
The price of a small parcel (size S) will decrease by nearly 17 percent, from 7.10 euro to 5.90 euro.
“We are happy to be able to transfer the positive effects of our digital development efforts and self-service directly to our customer prices,” said the Marketing Services Development Manager of Posti, Kati Nevalainen in another statement.
Parcels weighing less than 10 kgs that are sent abroad and paid for using general cash payment methods will increase by 12 to 15% starting October 1, 2016.
The new prices of these parcels, to be governed by Posti's universal service obligation from November 1, 2016, will reflect the actual costs of producing the service. These parcels make up less than 0.5% of Posti's total parcel volume.
Posti offers a range of different self-service options for sending and receiving parcels. Parcel Points enable sending and receiving parcels to any Parcel Point in Finland or any Posti outlet in Finland.
Parcels can also be sent using Posti's mobile application, which also contains services for tracking items and routing parcels.
