The price for online and in-app purchases is 79.90€.
The maximum weight of the parcel is 35 kg, maximum length of the longest side 240 cm and the combined length of the sides (width + depth + height) 300 cm. If these dimensions are exceeded, the parcel will be stopped, and the sender will be responsible for organising further transport.

This means that the parcel is still held by the sender, or it is on its way from the sender to Matkahuolto. There may be several intermediaries, especially if the parcel is sent to Finland from abroad. Normally, domestic parcels arrive in a couple of days, while international parcels may take up to one week.
It is possible that the estimated arrival date changes in transit if the parcel is processed faster than expected or if there are unexpected delays in transit, e.g. due to bad weather. Most parcels arrive on the day following the date of dispatch, but sometimes the delivery may take longer. All parcels arrive within a maximum of three weekdays from the date they are accepted for delivery.
Unfortunately parcels cannot be picked up in transit. Please be patient and wait for the arrival notice to inform you when the parcel is ready to be picked up. We will let you know right away when you can pick up your parcel.
A text message will be sent to the mobile phone number or email address provided by the sender. If you have Matkahuolto’s Paketit app, you will also receive the notice via the app. If you have not received any arrival notice, there may be a typing error in your details. If so, always contact the sender who can correct the error. If the parcel has already been returned, it is advisable to agree on further action with the sender.
All you need is the collection code irrespective whether you pick up the parcel at a parcel point or parcel locker. No ID or power of attorney is required unless it is a hand-delivered shipment, which will be specifically indicated in the arrival notice. Usually such shipments contain alcohol or documents.
It is likely that the shipping details do not include your mobile phone number and/or email address, which would help us identify that the parcel belongs to you. Make sure that you have entered both your mobile phone number and your email address in the mobile app. If you have provided both pieces of information and the parcel still does not appear, you may want to contact the sender of the parcel, who can add the missing information to the shipment.
This text appears in the tracking system when the parcel leaves the terminal for delivery to the pick-up point. The delivery van carries parcels to several pick-up points, and the first stop may not be your particular pick-up point. For this reason, the message that a parcel is available for pick-up may not appear immediately in Track & Trace. However, your parcel should be available for collection at some point during the same day. Please be patient and wait for the arrival notice.
Parcels are delivered to the pick-up point specified by the consignor or chosen by you. Sometimes, however, the final pick-up point is different from the one you have chosen, for example due to sudden overcrowding at that pick-up point during peak periods, the size of the parcel or the service used by the sender. If so, we always deliver your parcel to the nearest available point with space so you can get your parcel quickly. We also try to explain the reason for the change of pick-up point in the arrival notification.
With some mail-order and online stores, you can select the preferred pick-up point when placing the order. If you do not have this opportunity or do not make a selection, the consignment will be sent to the pick-up point nearest to your address. If you would like to, you can transfer the package to another pick-up point after you have logged into Matkahuolto's website.
As the recipient, you have possibilities for changing the service point: When the parcel details appear in the Paketit app, but before the parcel has been accepted for delivery by Matkahuolto, you can change the service point for the parcel free of charge using your app. Please note that the final delivery point may still be different from your selection if the chosen point is full.
Once you have received the arrival notice, the app offers you a transfer option for a fee. You can make the payment using the methods available on the app, after which you will receive a new shipping label that we will use to deliver the parcel to the service point of your choice. A transfer to another point can be purchased for parcels processed by manned parcel points and, in the metropolitan area, for parcels in a parcel locker, in which case we will transfer the parcel in cooperation with Wolt.
Our parcel lockers have only one display unit where the locker code is entered, so you don’t have to know which box contains your parcel. After entering the code, the door of the right box will open and you can take out your parcel.
Make sure that you have Matkahuolto’s Paketit app and that the parcel you want to pick up is displayed in My Parcels. Activate the Bluetooth connection and allow the app to use Bluetooth. To do so, check your phone settings. Go close to the lockers and make sure that no other customer is using the locker terminal at the same time.
You can copy the pick up code from the Paketit app and pass it on to your spouse, friend or mother, who can use it to collect the parcel for you. You can also forward the texted arrival notice to another person who can then collect the parcel. No power of attorney or authorization is required. If your parcel is in an app-enabled outdoor locker terminal, it can only be collected using the recipient's mobile phone.
You can purchase additional storage time or a home delivery for your parcel in the mobile app when you access the shipment details. Make the payment easily using your chosen method, such as MobilePay. Alternatively, you can forward the collection code to somebody else who will pick up the parcel for you. No power of attorney or authorization is required.
Additional time can be purchased for a consignment once it has been delivered to the final pick-up point. If you are unable to pick up your parcel within the storage time, you can purchase additional storage time, in increments of 7, 14 or 21 days, either online or using the Paketit mobile app. You will also see information about the parcel in the mobile app which you can also use to purchase home delivery for your parcel. Additional time cannot be purchased for parcels if the pick-up point is a parcel locker.
The parcel will be returned to the consignor. If the consignor fails to collect the parcel, it will be disposed of or put up for a public auction.
We offer two different service options, Home Parcel and Business Parcel. If your parcel is Home Parcel, you will receive a text message or email asking you to choose a suitable delivery time. If the sender has sent the parcel using the Business Parcel service, we will deliver the parcel on weekdays between 8 am and 4 pm without prior notice of the delivery time. If you are not present at the time of delivery, you can collect your parcel from a pick-up point near your address after being notified either by text message or email.
Contact your nearest Matkahuolto outlet within 7 days. Contact information can be found under “Customer Support”. If the damaged parcel contains items ordered from a mail-order or online store, contact the consignor. The consignor will take care of filing the claim for compensation or other appropriate action. Take the damaged goods and package to Matkahuolto, or make other arrangements with Matkahuolto for the verification and inspection of the damage.
If an attempt had been made to deliver the parcel when you were not at home, it will be taken to a nearby pick-up point for collection. You will receive a new arrival notice as soon as your parcel is ready to be collected. As a rule, the parcel will be available either later the same day or the day after at the latest. If you wish, you can purchase a new home delivery in the Paketit app after receiving the new arrival notice.
Most likely our driver is lagging slightly behind the schedule, but your parcel is on its way. We will contact your if the delivery is more than 15 minutes late.
You can select delivery to a pick-up point and collect the parcel at your convenience. This option is available on the same menu as delivery times and available across the country. Alternatively, for specific parcels, you can select home delivery without having to be at home to receive it. If so, you authorise the driver to leave the parcel outside your door or in the immediate vicinity of the entrance.
If the goods have been sent by a company or online store, report the damage directly to the sender complete with photos. The Finnish Consumer Protection Act provides protection for parcel recipients allowing you to agree on compensation (refund, new product, etc.) directly with the company that sent the parcel. Any claim for compensation from Matkahuolto is filed by the company that sent the parcel.
If it is a question of a transaction between two consumers, we recommend that the sender fill out a claim for damages. This means that you need to inform the sender of the damage.
The maximum compensation payable by Matkahuolto under the Road Transport Contracts Act is €20 per kg.
In the case of damage or loss of second-hand products purchased on a peer-to-peer platform, report the damage to the peer-to-peer operator, who will give you further instructions.

Each extra service is priced separately for each consignment. For example, a single consignment can have a Multi-parcel surcharge and a Large surcharge.
The shipping price is based on either the volumetric weight or the weighted weight, whichever is higher. The volume assumption used in the calculation is 1 m3 = 250 kg, i.e. the freight weight of the example consignment is calculated using the formula (0.38 * 0.40 * 0.32) * 250 kg = 12 kg.
The small invoice surcharge is charged on invoices with a total amount of less than €100.

Your company can use return codes or you can provide your customer with a ready-made address card for return shipments. The address card can be created, for example, in the Paketit Business Portal.
Customer returns can also be made using the Matkahuolto activation code, which requires support from the customer system (e.g. e-commerce platform or ERP). The activation code allows for more accurate tracking of the shipment. The interface can also be used to create ready-made return address cards, in which case the customer system creates the consignment and transfers information to the Matkahuolto system. A return address card alone is not enough. The consignment must also be recorded in the Matkahuolto system.
A customer return can be left in the parcel locker with a completed address card for the return, or the customer can have an activation code generated by the online store. Depending on the parcel locker, the customers need to choose “Send” or “Return” and follow further instructions displayed. All Matkahuolto parcel lockers allow the return of consignments.
You can transfer a parcel to be collected to another service point in the Paketit Business Portal. A new shipment ID is generated for the parcel when you select the new service point.
