Posti will start the alternate-day delivery of day mail in several municipalities in South Ostrobothnia and Ostrobothnia in February 2026. Even though the delivery method changes, the impacts on the mail recipients’ everyday life are minor.

Alternate-day delivery means that printed mail is delivered on weekdays in alternating two-week periods: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday one week, and on Tuesday and Thursday the following week.

The actual up-to-date delivery days in your area can be checked by postal code at posti.fi/deliverydays.

In addition to the actual delivery days, items will continue to be delivered in accordance with the agreements made with the sending customers.

Most newspapers are delivered as before, i.e. on the day they are published. This applies to the main newspaper in the area, for example. However, there may be some changes to the delivery times of some publications.

How are cards and parcels delivered?

The delivery time of stamped letters and cards in Finland is usually four weekdays. If necessary, these items included in the universal service are also delivered on days other than the actual delivery days.

Parcels will be delivered as before to parcel lockers, pickup points, mail slots and boxes or to your doorstep.

Alternate-day delivery is already in use in most of Finland and also in all Nordic countries. The reason for this is the dramatic decrease in the volume of printed mail. By overhauling delivery, Posti can continue to offer traditional delivery services alongside digital services.
