Posti changes taking effect on January 15, 2022 for domestic shipments
- Maximum dimensions for postal packages, Express packages, and home deliveries are now limited to max 100 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm.
- Additionally, the maximum girth (length + 2x width + 2x height) is now limited to max 300 cm. For example, 100 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm is within allowed dimensions, but 100 cm x 50.1 cm x 50 cm is not.
- Absolute maximum weight is 25 kg
- If a package exceeds 300 cm in girth or weighs, for example, 25.01 kg, Posti will charge it as Express freight. This can cost hundreds of euros more than a normal package - so you need to be careful!
