Posti (/Itella): Sending a parcel

Woverke · Post by **Woverke** » Sun May 31, 2009 2:06 pm

Hello!

I'll be leaving Finland on the 10th of June and now I need to send a package home again, but I'm a bit confused by the Posti pricing.

As far as I can understand from their PDF, the price of a parcel is calculated on either the weight or the volume of the package.

So a 10kg package with a volumetric wight (length * height * width * 250kg/m'3) of 20kg would be charged according to the 20kg rate.

I have a package of about 15kg's, but the volumetric weight is around 27kg. Would this mean that the package would be priced at 27kg?

If so, that means I can fill the package more until I reach 27kg in weight, right?

Regards,

Wout

It's quite straight forward, actually.

You fill in all the information, including weight (paino) and size of the box (see picture on website) and then you get a price.

I don't know how good your Finnish is, but the lisäpalvelut is sending registered and/or insured for a certain value.
