What innovations have not been encountered lately, what is worth the company's arrival in Russia, but this time we will touch on the topic of a new way of delivering parcels for many. Everyone is well aware that the delivery of most of the goods to aliexpress is carried out by China Post and Hong Kong Post, we do not take into account courier mail services, which few people use, except in cases where delivery speed is extremely important. Recently, a new, seemingly completely strange method has been added to the number of predominantly free delivery methods, namely delivery with aliexpress by Finnish post (Itella). It is worth understanding the issue of tracking postal items in Finland in detail, which we will do now.
It would seem that where is Finland and where is China, different parts of the world and what they may have in common, but common ground was found in logistics. The thing is that such a service as the national post of China already processes most of the orders from and works almost to the point of wear and tear, sorting shops are never empty, and on the eve of major international holidays there is a complete blockage with delivery. Sorting shops simply cannot cope with such turnover of parcels and there are delays in delivery.
Without hesitation, the enterprising Chinese found the optimal, and seemingly strange at first glance, delivery method - sending parcels through the Finnish postal service Itella. Of course, all shipments are registered and each parcel is assigned its own unique track code.
For parcels of Finnish Itella mail, the track code is as follows - RA111889293FI
Where “R” indicates that the postal item is registered (registered), “A” is not insured, followed by a unique parcel number and at the very end “FI”, which indicates the territorial affiliation of the transport company.
Having received this kind of track code, it remains only to figure out how to track the Itella postal item. The most optimal and correct way would be to track your parcel on (Posti). In addition to the Finnish version, the site is also available in English, so there shouldn't be any tracking problems. For smartphone owners, an official mobile application for iOS and Android is available, so you can track your package even without a computer.
For example, let's take aliexpress and try to check its status on the Itella official website. After entering the track code, in addition to information about the movement of the parcel, we can find out its weight even before receipt, the transport company that delivers, in our case Itella transport, the type of departure is Registered Letter and the destination with the index and country code.
After that, next to it, on the right, there will be information about the entire path of your package, a typical path for a regular package will look something like this:
- Item has been registered (postal item registered)
- Itella has received advance information of the item
- Item has arrived to warehouse (the parcel arrived at the carrier's warehouse)
- Item has been registered (the mail item has been registered in the warehouse)
- Item has departed from the warehouse (the parcel left the warehouse)
- The item is in transport (mailing on the way)
- Item arrived in the destination country (the parcel arrived at the sorting point of the destination country)
- The item has been submitted to customs clearance in the destination country (the parcel is undergoing customs clearance)
And of course, the final stage, which will later be displayed when tracking Finnish mail parcels, will be delivery.
How long does it take to send a package by Finnish Post (Itella)
Usually, the speed of delivery by Finnish mail is several times faster than usual, but you always need to take into account your location, this option will be optimal in terms of speed for the regions of the central and western parts of Russia. If, for example, you are in Novosibirsk, then it would be naive to assume that your parcel will arrive quickly, in which case you'd better use either the national postal service of China. But for residents of St. Petersburg, this delivery option will be the most optimal, because Finland is within easy reach.
For residents of Belarus and Ukraine, the delivery of parcels by Finnish mail comes even faster, which is worth only the track code, which we took as an example. If you try to track it, you will see - the country of destination is Belarus, the first date when the parcel began to be tracked was 05/14/2015, and arrived in the destination country already on 06/02/2015, therefore, the parcel flew to Belarus in 19 days. To roughly understand how far the package has covered, just look at the distance from Minsk to Helsinki on the map.
Usually, the maximum delivery time for Itella is 35 days. If you are waiting for your package and see that the time is running out, it makes sense to ask the seller to extend the protection time, thus protecting yourself. According to statistics, the average delivery time is 20-30 days, the vast majority of parcels fit within this period, as you can see for yourself by tracking postal items from Finland.
Recently, a new type of delivery through Finland is gaining more and more popularity, this time we are talking about the Post Finland Economy. included this type of delivery in the list of recommended, today delivery is carried out only to Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Of course, there are differences between the classic Itella delivery and the Post Finland Economy, and the advantages are on the Itella side.
Firstly, the track code format is completely different:
At the beginning there are two letters "LP", followed by a 14-digit number that ensures the uniqueness of the shipment.
Fortunately, tracking of Post Finland Economy parcels is still available, but not to the full extent as we would like, it is not surprising that the word “Economy” is present in the name of the delivery, indicating the budget of the shipment.
How to track Post Finland Economy
Most often, sellers, when sending a parcel of this type, mistakenly indicate the wrong site for tracking, usually the link leads to the Itella tracking page. You can endlessly try to check your track code, but the data on it on this site will never appear, so what's the matter?
The thing is that Post Finland Economy works in close cooperation with one of the largest logistics companies. Therefore, you need to check the track code issued to you on the YANWEN website, and not on the Finnish postal service. It is much easier to check your track codes in . Here is the tracking result of one of the Post Finland Economy packages:
As you can see, on January 22, the parcel left the sorting point in China, in other words, flew to the recipient. This is where Post Finland Economy tracking ends, since such parcels are tracked only until they are exported from China, in contrast to the full Itella delivery, where the track code can be tracked after import into the country of destination, up to delivery to the recipient.
The average delivery time for Post Finland Economy is slightly longer than that of Itella and is 35-50 days from the date of export from China, namely export, and not receiving a track code from the seller.
Restriction of forwarded goods by Finnish Post (Itella)
Everything would be fine - an acceptable delivery time, the ability to track, but not all goods that can be found on aliexpress are accepted for shipment through the Finnish postal service. So today, prohibited goods include:
- Electronics, including tablets, phones, chargers and other devices containing Li-ion batteries (USPS also uses a similar restriction)
- Food products, including tea and other fast food items
- Cosmetic accessories, whether it be lipstick, nail polish, mascara, etc.
Therefore, delivery through Finland with aliexpress is best suited for things, shoes and other small things, like toys for children, dishes, decor items and various home accessories. But if the seller offers Post Finland (Itella) among the free types of delivery and you are in the central or northwestern part of Russia, be sure to agree.

Posti Finland Economy- a method of delivery of goods from Aliexpress, used by sellers of the online store for the delivery of small orders. Delivery time for parcels to recipients is from 35 to 45 days from the date of dispatch.
Posti Finland, the state postal operator of Finland, together with the Chinese transport company Yanwen, handles the processing and delivery of postal items. The processing of parcels lies on the shoulders of the Finnish Post, and the shipment and delivery of items to the Posti center is carried out by Yanwen.
Posti Finland Economy Tracking in Russian
Tracking Posti Finland Economy shipments in Russian, unfortunately, will not work. This is due to the peculiarities of this delivery method, as well as the track number by which tracking takes place until the order leaves for the country of destination.
After sending the goods, the seller sends the buyer a track number that looks like - LP00000000000000.
By mistake, the AliExpress interface lists the Posti Finland official website as the main package tracking tool, but the search form does not accept track numbers of the above format.
- Yanwen- Posti Finland Economy tracking service, the interface of which is available only in English.
- The easiest way to get information about the current delivery status and order location is the section "My orders" on AliExpress, where each purchase has a personal page with tracking information. To get to it, open the list of your orders and click on the button "Check Tracking". Note that in the mobile application, this button is simply called "Tracking".
Posti Group is a Finnish company owned by the state. Posti group provides a wide range of services: from information logistics and correspondence delivery, provision of communication services to the production of postage stamps. The Posti Group includes a number of subsidiaries:
- 1. Itella and all its subsidiaries: Information, Logistic, Mail, etc.
Itella branches are scattered throughout Europe: Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Denmark, Latvia, Norway, Russia, Sweden. - 2. Finland Post.
- 3. Suomen Posti.
The company, in general, is quite serious.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, Aliexpress sellers were forced to look for an alternative to the Netherlands Post, as well as Singapore Post. If the huge delays of these two postal services could still be tolerated, then with a huge percentage of theft, about 25-40% (according to sellers), doing business is simply impossible.
As a result, a solution was found - Posti Group. How a parcel from China arrives at the post office in Finland, for a minute - bypassing all the red tape with imports and paying taxes, no one knows (or says), but the parcels are delivered quickly enough and without problems.
Peculiarities
The track number is of international standard and has the form RA 123456789 FI
Speed - mail is quite fast and in Russia it is imported not to Vnukovo (Moscow), but to St. Petersburg (Pulkovo), which significantly speeds up the import procedure.
The only delay is the delivery of the parcel by courier from China\Singapore to the Finnish post office. During this period of time, the trainer may not break through.
The parcel arrives at Helsinki Airport (VANTAA 01530), after which it is sent to the country of destination.
The approximate route is:
Thanks to imports in St. Petersburg, the percentage of thefts and losses has decreased to a minimum. How long?
Finland Post DOES NOT deliver to Ukraine.
Let's analyze each status separately:
Statuses:
- 1. Issuance of the track by the seller.
- 2. Arrival of the parcel in Finland - VANTAA 01530 Item has been registered.
- 3. Registration of the parcel at the post office of Finland - VANTAA 01530 Itella has received advance information of the item.
- 4. Arrival of the parcel in the country of destination - Item arrived in the destination country.
- 5. Sending a parcel for customs clearance - The item has been submitted to customs clearance in the destination country.
- 6. Parcel exit from customs clearance - In transit.
- 7. Delivered to Post Office Item ready for pick up at the destination country place of collection.
- 8. The parcel was delivered to the addressee Item delivered to the recipient.
After the parcel has passed customs clearance, I advise you to track the parcel at the Russian Post.
The Chinese manage to send their goods by post to Finland, despite the strict control of goods prohibited for shipment: food, electronics with batteries (including smartphones, tablets, batteries), as well as cosmetics, drugs, gas, pyrotechnics, etc.
The approximate delivery time of a parcel from the moment of registration at the Finnish post office is from 10 to 35 days, but usually it is imported much faster.
How and where to track the tracks of the Finnish post, Itella, Poste, Fi?
First of all, I advise you to look at the official website of the company - or at! 
In the right corner, enter your track and press GO. 
I would like to emphasize that the owner of the track number can control: the weight of the parcel and the final destination of the parcel by index. Thus, you can find out if this is your package or not.
You can also compare the approximate weight of a package in Finland and the weight of an import package.
To track your package, you need to follow a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track the postal item"
3. Click on the "Track package" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the last status.
6. Estimated delivery period, displayed in the track code information.
Try it, it's not hard ;)
If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text "Group by companies", which is located under the tracking statuses.
If you have any difficulties with the statuses in English, click on the link with the text "Translate to Russian", which is located under the tracking statuses.
Carefully read the "Track code information" block, where you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.
If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame, with the heading "Pay Attention!", Carefully read everything that is written in it.
In these information blocks, you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.
If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case tracking parcels becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived at Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.
To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery deadlines calculator"
If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, and the parcel travels for more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and therefore they are misleading.
If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the package is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the package, and the status of the package "the item pre-advised" / "Email notification received" does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by clicking on the link:.
If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail.
If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new package takes more than a month, this is normal, because. parcels go by different routes, in different ways, they can wait for dispatch by plane for 1 day, or maybe a week.
If the parcel left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries a parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, be scanned, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.
If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Acceptance / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see the transcript of the main statuses of international mail:
If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.
If, based on the above, you did not understand anything, read this instruction again, and again, until complete enlightenment;)
At the moment, the coronavirus is actively spreading in China and around the world, for this reason, air exchange is very limited and the delivery of parcels is slower than usual, but as of March 1, 2020, postal exchange with any of the countries has not been (completely) suspended.
Do not worry if the status of the mailing / order does not change for 1-2 weeks and is in the state:
- Treatment
- Awaiting shipment
- Sent to destination country
- Export / Export international mail
- Import / Import international mail
While the protection is in effect, wait and don't worry, if the order is not in a hurry, you can even extend the protection period.
Keep track of the order protection counter, and if the package has not arrived within the time specified in the order details, extend the protection period or open a dispute.
