HELSINKI: Antti Kess and Miisa Nissinen are not particularly concerned about the looming closure of their local postal outlet.
Expectations formed in the world of online shopping turned into reality or disappointment at the outlet of Posti in Töölö on Tuesday. “I drop by the post office every once in a while, when I’ve bought stuff online,” software developer Tuomas Mäkelä said. “I bought a phone online, and it was delivered here. Otherwise, I maybe use the post office once a year,” said Miisa Nissinen, a clothes shop assistant.
“I drop by the post office maybe once a month,” estimated camera shop clerk Antti Kess. “I buy clothes and all kinds of stuff online.”
