Delivery and payment

Delivery costs

The delivery costs are based on the delivery country, method and value of the order. The billing address of the customer has no effect on the delivery costs. The delivery costs are also not based on the weight of the order. You can see the actual delivery costs in the online shop before finalizing your order.

Delivery to Finland

The domestic parcel of Posti is used for deliveries within Finland. Customer can request a delivery to a certain post office or a Smartpost-Parcel Terminal. Otherwise the parcel will in most cases be sent to the closest Posti Smartpost-Parcel Terminal based on the delivery address. Customer must provide an e-mail address and mobile phone number while ordering, so they can receive an electronic notice on the sending and arrival of their parcel. Posti Home Parcel will be delivered home. Posti will contact you for suitable delivery time. Both types of shipments can be tracked using the OmaPosti app or on Posti's website.

Payment instructions

All payment methods used in the online shop are fully protected and safe to use. Payments are transferred online using the SSL (Security Sockets Layer) security technology.

If you want to pay your order by bank transfer, choose “Pay by bank wire”. After you have confirmed your order, the next page will show you the payment information for a bank transfer. The information will also be sent to the e-mail address given by you. Your order will be sent as soon as your payment is visible on our account. We reserve the products for your order for 14 days. If we do not get the payment during this time, we will automatically cancel the order and return the products to the storage.

PayPal
Paypal is available as a payment option in the shop „Germany and Europe“. When you choose “PayPal” as your payment method, you will be directed to the payment page of PayPal at the end of your ordering procedure. Check that the amount shown at the top of the PayPal page corresponds to the total amount shown in the online store. In the PayPal payment summary, product prices might be shown tax-free, so the most important thing is that the total is correct.

If you already are a PayPal customer, you can log in with your existing user data and confirm the payment either with a credit card connected to your account or the balance on your PayPal account. If you are a new customer in PayPal, you can create a free PayPal account. You will be directed to a site, that allows you to enter your credit or debit card details or bank account information, create an account and confirm the payment. The card or bank account used for the payment will be linked to your PayPal account, so the next time you can pay only by one click after logging in to your PayPal account.

After the payment you will be directed back to the web shop. You can also cancel the payment at any point and go back to the web shop by pressing a link at the bottom of the page saying, “Cancel and return to shop". The web shop will keep the contents of your shopping cart for you to choose another payment method.

Your order will be processed, when the payment is visible in our system. In most cases, receiving a payment from PayPal only takes a few minutes. After the payment has arrived, you will get an order confirmation and a payment receipt from PayPal to your e-mail address. Please notice, that sometimes PayPal page might encounter errors our web shop is not responsible of. If you are not sure whether your payment / order has been accepted, contact the online store or PayPal customer service.

Other payment options presented by PayPal
Paypal presents different payment options based on the country. All available payment options will be visible at the checkout. For example, in Germany you can pay with Sofort, which allows you to pay with your online banking in realtime.
