The transport of mail and parcels between Finland and the United Kingdom is slow due to transport capacity and customs formalities

16.02.2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit have affected transport capacity and customs formalities, and this is still slowing down the transport of mail between Finland and the United Kingdom.

Transport capacity to the UK is limited, and customs formalities are currently slowing down all transport of goods across UK borders, including mail. Royal Mail’s transport of mail has also slowed down, which is causing delays in mail delivery in the country.

There may be long delays for items sent from Finland as well as items arriving in Finland.

It is also good to keep in mind that it may be difficult to track the items or deliver them by the promised delivery day.

We are constantly seeking air and road transport connections to the UK.
