How many companies deliver letters in Finland?
Who delivers mail and who oversees them.
Short answer
In its report to Traficom on the year 2025, published on 30 March 2026, Posti said that besides Posti there are 13 other delivery companies in Finland that deliver letters. Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, oversees the Postal Act and keeps a register of the delivery companies and their identifiers. Posti's identifiers are POSTI, ECONOMY and PRIORITY.
Why
- Posti's report lists 14 letter delivery companies in Finland.
- Posti says Traficom keeps the register of delivery companies.
- Posti names its identifiers as POSTI, ECONOMY and PRIORITY.
Details

Tip
The identifier printed on an envelope shows which company carries it. Ask that company if the letter is late.
