How to Finnish online stores find out when the Post office is on strike?
Facebook community online traders give a bleak picture. The ten thousand member of the forum of entrepreneurs have been exchanging experiences with mm. in the next way:
How do you strike affected the trade in the home country? You feel that the brake is now on top and did not really dare to order.
this Weekend, stopped trading completely. This week’s long intervals of orders to come, but not at all the amount of what you would normally.
– Ärräpussit and mobile maintenance works. A little congestion, but no wonder it.
– Now should my field be the busiest time of… Began to worry the country in earnest.
We have in November in general has been very trade. Now it is dead.
Last month sales were the best of all time and I’m afraid that this month it will become the all-time worst
– the Order book fading to almost zero in. When hit, the products leaves the letter, is the send options low… and if I put as a package, the final price will skyrocket 🙁
Sales is a little faded, because I guess some customers think about the mobile service to be blocked and the mail package was stuck.
Facebook-the community members are mainly micro and small entrepreneurs. The larger online stores, such as Blueberries and pussy in, strike not yet, at least be less worried.
the pet supply chain may need to be diverted to their customers from their outlets. The mere ecommerce is more vulnerable. Kalevi Rytkölä / YlePostin foreign competitors calling
Pet food and accessories sold to Blacky and kitty’s country director John Lamberg said that so far business has been and also the package have been moving well.
One obvious change is, however, noticeable.
We have two service providers, Postal and travel service, and currently customers are opting for more mobile maintenance, Lamberg said.
the Second change is that Blacky and Kitten has received more foreign contacts. International logistics company saw lakkoilussa game day.
but some Of these service providers want to take advantage of the situation and is therefore left ringing round. It is difficult to imagine that it was just a coincidence.
the Big traders interested in the post of foreign competitors. Blacky and Kitty will however continue to Post and Matkahuolto thread. Lambergin according to the package moving in the Post still a former model.
Blacky and kitty in the monitor, however the development of the situation – so Post as matkahuollo I’m concerned.
that’s what we don’t know whether this situation overload mobile service from.
Ecommerce expert: “Almost panic”Ecommerce expert Levi Parsaman according to the Postal strike raises the sme and micro-enterprise counties “almost panic”.Ari Welling / Yle
Blacky and Kitty package in the mail still moving. The same impression I get also a Yle reporter, who made a test in mind online shopping in two different stores on Monday and Tuesday during.
Both packages arrived at the Postal office within two days of order. It seems, that Mail out the rent manpower fine.
whether online retailers so you breathe a sigh of relief, when the journalist got his / her subscription on?
you have been just lucky, assessed the ecommerce expert Levi Parsama .
Mail has been striking before, and online retailers know that a couple of days the congestion yet somehow unraveling. But the load is increasing all the time. In particular, smes look to the situation terrified because they live very much hand to mouth.
Parsama lead Business finland in the Finnish network of trade development program and rotate it on the sidelines of the 10 000 online merchants in the Facebook community, where we pick also the beginning of this article to see the comments.
Sale crusts and emotions can run high
the Comment seemed to be more concerned about the asiakaskato as the stuck condition of the packages. Levi Parsama believes that observation is correct.
the Strike affected according to her, businesses for sale immediately. People go to the website, but the former and fewer of them to buy, because of fears that the product, however, would arrive on time to your destination.
Sales of crusts in addition to the strike will Parsaman according to cause pressure on customer service.
– Consumers know that the Post office is on strike. Despite that, they are just as indignant about it, if the package has not come.
Blacky and Kitten-like chain, you are in a situation powerful, as they can drive customers to stores. Exclusively online store to make the company you are tukalammassa situation, if the packet stream stops.
Facebook community Parsama have to rely on Wednesday of censoring, when the network trade development debate turned into a political huutamiseksi.
Yes, it smacks of small business pain from miles away. Those who have traveled these strikes in the past through, relate more calmly.
Foreign benefit
the Last hand of the situation will benefit Parsaman according to foreign online stores. Consumers know that they have several partners international tomittajat.

Parsaman according to the Finnish web merchants have reacted as much as they can. They are, for example, might have brought a travel supply supply the number one option.
But yes, it is known that a mobile service can handle all that weight, what Mail could become. It doesn’t machine quite as strong.

Postal strike since the mobile service has got a lot more packages to be transported to.
president and Ceo Janne Jakolan according to the delivery volumes were already before the strike, nearly a third of the increase compared to last year and stopped a week after the growth has only accelerated.
– Growth will come largely from existing customers who have used us as well as the Postal services, he said.
for New customers mobile service was forced to sell even not-wait. If an online retailer wants to deliver large volumes of packages, those packages must be informed of the electronic systems. Such a process requires time.
we’re Not capable of such deployments in very large quantities to do in such a situation. Therefore, we regret to say entirely new customers often do not.
the maintenance of the ordinances pass, however, Jakolan, according to the currently great.
– we Monitor the network activity of an exceptional procedure, and we have meetings morning, noon, and night. We know exactly what’s going on. We have been able to respond to the need exceptionally well.
Postal problems have the mobile service for the opportunity to grow market share. The company opened a new network service too just the first stop of the week on Tuesday.
– Our goal is to increase awareness, we also use random packet senders in the circuit. The timing was a happy accident, Travel management ceo Janne Jakola said.
