​
​Why wasn’t my package delivered to my nearest pick-up point?
Packages are delivered to the pick-up point specified by the consignor or chosen by you. Sometimes, however, the final pick-up point is different from the one you have chosen, for example due to sudden overcrowding at that pick-up point during peak periods, the size of the package or the service used by the sender. If so, Matkahuolto always delivers your package to the nearest available point with space so you can get your package quickly. Matkahuolto also tries to explain the reason for the change of pick-up point in the arrival notification.
​
​Is there a storage charge?
There is no charge for storing the package. The package will be stored for 7 days, after which it will be returned to the sender.
​
​The tracking says that the package has been delivered, but I miss pick-up information, what do I do?
Sometimes it can take some time from the package arriving at the delivery point until the SMS/email is sent. You may also want to check your spam folder. Should you still not hear anything, you can contact Matkahuolto’s customer service.
​
​I have received a damaged package, what should I do?
Contact Matkahuolto Customer Service within 7 days. You can fill in a claim form on their website. Take the damaged goods and package to Matkahuolto, or make other arrangements with Matkahuolto for the verification and inspection of the damage.
