Send a parcel to: Finland
Tucked away in the far North of Europe, there are more people living in the City of London than there are in the entire country of Finland.
Home to 35,000 reindeer and the Lapland HQ of Santa Claus, Finland shares borders with Sweden, Norway and Russia. We recognise that Rudolph can sometimes be a little reluctant, and have partnered with expert local carriers to share the responsibility of getting your parcels to Finland quickly and securely.
Our globalexpress service offers delivery to Finland from 1 working day, whilst globalpriority takes up to 6 working days and globalvalue up to 9.
Choose to book online, by phone or in person and we will collect from your door or you can drop off at any of our depots and over 11,500 Post Office® branches across the country.
