Oh, it definitely didnt used to be like this (I'm not sure how long in the past it was though, like I said only a year or two I think).JK_Ironak wrote:Huh, I've had some stuff sent to me by my family, and I had to get all things from post - but I was home, and even heard when the postman put the paper notice in the door...they didn't even try to ring the bell. In the tracking system they put that the delivery was attempted, but recipient wasn't at home. My Finnish bf told me that's just the way things are...

It never used to be like this, I remember a couple of years ago they'd just ring the door bell, I'd answer and get my package. If I wasnt at home, then they'd leave the note and I'd pick it up from the post office.
Has something changed? Can I call them and somehow get it back to how it was (them actually doing the job)?

Really? Can you write more about that? How do I get that service?rinso wrote:Although in the countryside they still offer the service to bring it to your door.
don't you have to pay extra for that though? I live in the countryside and the post is put into a postbox about 50m from my house.rinso wrote: Although in the countryside they still offer the service to bring it to your door.
The Nearby Mailbox service enables you to control how Posti delivers your standard delivery. If you have ordered the service, your regular mail will be delivered into a letterbox, a mailbox, or another place that is not your regular mail delivery spot. The service is subject to a charge and you can make an agreement ordering service through the web service or by contacting the Posti Customer Service by phone. The service pricing depends on the selected service and how long a detour the mailman has to make from the regular route. The service is available if the deviation from the regular delivery route is 2 kilometers or less.
I live in the centre of a city, I wonder if that has something to do with it? I don't understand why they used to do it, and then just stopped with no warning. I know it's parcels that don't fit through the door, its a letter if it doesrinso wrote:It depends on the parcel size and the postal district.
If the parcel doesn't fit in the mailbox they don't even bother to take it with them. Although in the countryside they still offer the service to bring it to your door.
Obviously I'm not talking about massive things the size of a TV or something, I wouldnt even expect that to be delivered (well I would as it should be courier)I guess there might be something in this, I think mine stopped coming to the door around the time we got a new postman. I would have thought it shouldnt be his individual choice though in a national company like postiDMC wrote: Then a couple of years ago we had a change and the new guy never does this. So it seems to be down to the individual postman.
There is no stamp of the office in question? Imho R-Kioski et al are better for picking up parcels, they don't close as early as proper post offices. I usually order stuff to work as the doorstep delivery is during office hours.DMC wrote:The problem I have is that my parcel could be at either of 2 post offices(*) both of which are 27km from my home but in opposite directions, and the notification card may not say from where the parcel can be collected. If I guess wrong I have a trip of over 100km to collect a parcel. Doorstep delivery would be more than welcome.
(*) I say post offices in a general way. One is cunningly disguied as an R Kioski and the other as a disused fuel station.
Sometimes (I might even say usually) there is, but not always. I have before now asked the counter staff to show me on the notification card where it says that my parcel is at the other post office. They have just shrugged their shoulders and said it isn't on the card but they can see the parcel location on their computer. I find this is not much consolation if I have just gambled on a trip to the wrong post officeUpphew wrote:There is no stamp of the office in question?

We didn't do anything, it just happens. Maybe it is a very nice postman. Sometimes when I don't notice him, he comes in and climbs the stairs to find me.
