Posti to deliver reduced mails on Tuesdays, Thursdays from April

The national postal and logistic services operator will deliver reduced volumes of mail on Tuesday and Thursday from April 1, 2022, said Posti in a press release on Thursday.

The Posti took the decision as the volume of printed mail continues to fall, and the needs and requirements of mail-sending companies and institutions are becoming differentiated.

As a response to the change, the Posti will concentrate mail delivery on to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with lightened deliveries made on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The current Light Friday delivery will be changed to a Light Thursday delivery from April 1, 2022 onward.

Nowadays, a household receives about 3.5 addressed items per week. In the 2000s, the volume of letters has fallen by over 60% because of digital communications. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has further reduced the volume of letters especially.

The posti, however, we will deliver newspapers in Posti’s early-morning delivery seven days a week.

Other mail will be delivered on five weekdays.
