The Posti strike is currently affecting the entire country, causing delays in both package and freight traffic. International shipments through Posti are experiencing longer delays.
We recommend avoiding Posti shipments both domestically and internationally.
Posti's support strikes in Finland only affect Posti services. The exception is maritime traffic, which, if implemented from Monday, will also stop all road transport abroad.
Posti is currently not handling shipment inquiries due to the strike.
Air courier packages FedEx and UPS Express services operate normally, including international shipments.
