    Can someone else pick up my Posti parcel?

    Which items need ID or a power of attorney.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Posti says another person can collect a parcel from a Parcel Locker with the opening code, and from an outlet with the pickup code, without ID or a power of attorney. A power of attorney is needed for registered letters, registered parcels, letters with advice of delivery and insured items. Items marked for personal handover can only be given to the original recipient.

    Practical: communication, money, services

    Why

    1. Posti says the opening code is enough at a Parcel Locker.
    2. Posti says a pickup code is enough at an outlet.
    3. Posti lists the items that need a power of attorney.

    Details

    Without a pickup code, for example for registered items, the collector needs the item ID and an accepted ID document.

    Tip

    Share the code only with the person who collects the parcel. Anyone with the code can take it.

    What may differ

    Lockers need only the code: 9 characters for outdoor lockers and 6 for keyboard lockers.

    Common misconception

    Only the person named on the parcel can pick it up.

    What actually happens

    A normal parcel can be collected by anyone with the code.
